Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) Advanced RNA sequencing has revealed how soybean varieties respond genetically to soybean cyst nematodes (SCNs). Resistant plants activate immune-related genes ...

Red, white and blue are the colors of patriotism in the U.S., but a new map showing the presence of soybean cyst nematode (SCN) uses those colors in an altogether different way. Soybean growers ...

By measuring the colour of the emitted light when the particles reached the pharynx, they determined the force it exerted with micronewton-scale precision. Meanwhile, a collaboration of scientists at ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) Skin-penetrating nematodes, such as Strongyloides stercoralis, exhibit varying responses to CO 2 at different life stages. Infective larvae are repelled by CO 2 ...

The dwindling availability of insecticide seed treatment and nematicides has paved the way for pest control using entomopathogenic nematodes. Following successful trial work in key high-value ...

However, it remains poorly understood how different cover crop treatments influence the community of soil nematodes in an orchard ecosystem. In this study, field experiments were conducted to ...

The manuscript nicely advances our understanding of the roles of heterochronic genes and the NHR-23 nuclear receptor transcription factor in the regulation of the temporal dynamics of molting behavior ...

The sensory behaviors of thermotaxis, avoidance of copper ion, chemotaxis to NaCl, and chemotaxis to diacetyl were measured to investigate the damage on sensory perceptions in nematodes exposed to the ...

In the nematode brain, the basement membrane does not directly contact synapses. Instead, muscle-derived basement membrane coats one side of the glia, while glia contact synapses on their other side.
