The transcriptomes of <em>Xiphinema index</em> and <em>Longidorus elongatus</em> Suggest Independent acquisition of some plant parasitism genes by horizontal gene transfer in early-branching nematodes

Danchin, Etienne G J. Perfus-Barbeoch, Laetitia Rancurel, Corinne

Nematodes have evolved the ability to parasitize plants on at least four independent occasions, with plant parasites present in Clades 1, 2, 10 and 12 of the phylum. In the case of Clades 10 and 12, horizontal gene transfer of plant cell wall degrading enzymes from bacteria and fungi has been implicated in the evolution of plant parasitism. We...

The genome of the yellow potato cyst nematode, Globodera rostochiensis, reveals insights into the basis of parasitism and virulence

Akker, Sebastian Laetsch, Dominik R. Thorpe, Peter

Background: The yellow potato cyst nematode, Globodera rostochiensis, is a devastating plant pathogen of global economic importance. This biotrophic parasite secretes effectors from pharyngeal glands, some of which were acquired by horizontal gene transfer, to manipulate host processes and promote parasitism. G. rostochiensis is classified into...
