Funded Activity Summary
Expression profiling of giant cells induced in host plant roots by root-knot nematodes. Root-knot nematodes cause crop losses of over $400 million per annum in Australia. Control by toxic chemical nematicodes is expensive and can pollute groundwater. Benefits from this research for the Australian community are: (i) it will ensure that Australian researchers stay at the forefront of research in plant nematology, (ii) it provides significant local and international linkages that will stimulate research outputs, and (iii) new knowledge will be generated on how plants respond to attack by nematodes - this will generate new intellectual property, leading to better control methods and reduced costs that will support rural communities, and reduce environmental pollution.Funded Activity Details
