Meloidogyne incognita Fatty Acid- and Retinol-binding Protein (Mi-FAR-1) Affects Nematode Infection of Plant Roots and the Attachment of Pasteuria penetrans Endospores
Phani, Victor; Shivakumara, Tagginahalli N.; Davies, Keith; Rao, Uma (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-11-01)Root-knot nematode (RKN) Meloidogyne incognita is an economically important pest of crops. Pasteuria penetrans, is a nematode hyperparasitic bacterium capable of suppressing the reproduction of RKN and thereby useful for ... -
Parallel Microbial Ecology of Pasteuria and Nematode Species in Scottish Soils
Orr, Jamie N.; Neilson, Roy; Freitag, Thomas E.; Roberts, David M.; Davies, Keith; Blok, Vivian C.; Cock, Peter J. A. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-01-28)Pasteuria spp. are endospore forming bacteria which act as natural antagonists to many of the most economically significant plant parasitic nematodes (PPNs). Highly species-specific nematode suppression may be observed in ... -
Plant root-exudates recruit hyperparasitic bacteria of phytonematodes by altered cuticle aging: Implications for biological control strategies
Mohan, Sharad; Kumar, K. Kiran; Sutar, Vivek; Saha, Supradip; Rowe, Janet; Davies, Keith (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-06-09)Phytonematodes are globally important functional components of the belowground ecology in both natural and agricultural soils; they are a diverse group of which some species are economically important pests, and environmentally ... -
Silicon builds resilience in strawberry plants against both strawberry powdery mildew Podosphaera aphanis and two-spotted spider mites Tetranychus urticae
Liu, Bo; Davies, Keith; Hall, Avice (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-12-08)Silicon is found in all plants and the accumulation of silicon can improve plant tolerance to biotic stress. Strawberry powdery mildew (Podosphaera aphanis) and two-spotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae) are both ...
