Molecular and Cellular Dissection of Giant Cell Function

  • Chapter
Book cover Advances in Molecular Plant Nematology

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSA,volume 268))

Abstract

Plant parasitic nematodes significantly affect the productive capability of the world’s farmlands. Sasser and Freckman (1987) have calculated that they reduce the yield of the world’s forty major food staples and cash crops by an average of 12.3%, with the losses being substantially higher for some commodities (e.g., 20.6% for tomato). The US proportion, in monetary terms, is in excess of $5.8 billion annually. As a group, the root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) are the major contributors to these losses.
