Notes:
Abstract Current control of nematodes is inadequate and this justifies work towards the design of novel bases for plant defence. Our approach for cyst nematodes began by improving understanding of critical events in the establishment of these biotrophic pathogens. The first step involved development of an experimental system for achieving synchronous infection and establishment of cyst-nematodes in roots. Monoclonal antibodies have been raised against these nematodes, their specificity defined and those of particular interest used to define events in the establishment of the animals within plants. A similar approach has been explored for host responses using antibodies raised to plant tissue containing feeding sites. Changes in translatable mRNA populations at the feeding site have been described.
