Abstract

It is well known that various genetic factors influence the host plant and either turn it into a resistant to the nematode pest or enable the nematode to overcome the resistance of the host plant (Sidhu and Webster 1981). Most notably, all phytonematodes are equipped with a stylet to pierce cell walls and allow solute exchange between plant and parasite. Furthermore, plant-parasitic nematodes have well-developed secretory gland cells associated with their esophagus that produce secretions released through the stylet into host tissues. Interestingly, the development of enlarged secretory cells associated with the esophagus also exists in nematode parasites of animals but is notably absent from microbivorous nematodes like C. elegans. In the case of the root-knot nematodes and cyst nematodes, as is the case with the other tylenchid phytonematodes, there are three esophageal glands, one dorsal and two subventral glands.
