Autophagy and jasmonate fight nematode blight

Trends Parasitol. 2023 Sep 26:S1471-4922(23)00229-5. doi: 10.1016/j.pt.2023.09.008. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPlant-parasitic nematodes (PPNs) pose a serious threat to world crop production and global food security. However, our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying plant defense against PPNs remains very limited. Recently, Zou et al. reported that the interplay between autophagy and jasmonate pathways mediates plant immunity against root-knot nematodes.PMID:37770351 | DOI:10.1016/j.pt.2023.09.008
