Abstract
Bioengineering host resistance to 01ant parasitic nematodes is still a mostly speculative topic. There have been very few examples of plants engineered to have reduced susceptibility to any species of nematode. This, in part, is due to the lack of key information regarding host-parasite relationships. It is difficult to design strategies to engineer resistance when there is not a readily identifiable molecular mechanism to target. There are now many labs actively pursuing molecular aspects of nematode-host interactions, but the practical applications of this work may still be several years off. Other chapters in this book describe in detail studies on nematode feeding site formation, resistance mechanisms, host responses, and nematode stylet secretions. We will use some of this information to set the stage for potential approaches to bioengineered resistance to plant parasitic nematodes.
