Abstract

In plant-nematode relations both plants and nematodes release biochemical compounds from the expressions of genes, which had been technically referred to as plant genes and gene products, respectively. Plant genes and gene products can have either a downregulation or an upregulation relationship, which might or might not result in successful plant-nematode partnerships. The uses of molecular technologies had enhanced the application of these biochemical compounds in transgenic plants for the management of nematodes. The chapter overviewed plant genes and gene products, along with their practical application in nematode management using nematode-resistant transgenic plants.
