Induced knockdown of Mg-odr-1 and Mg-odr-3 perturbed the host seeking behavior of Meloidogyne graminicola in rice.

ABSTRACT: Root-knot nematode Meloidogyne graminicola is one of the most destructive plant parasites in upland as well as direct seeded rice. As an integral part of nematode biology, host finding behavior involves perceiving and responding to different chemical cues originating from the rhizosphere. A sustainable management tactic may include retardation of nematode chemoreception that would impair them to detect and discriminate the host stimuli. Deciphering the molecular basis of nematode chemoreception is vital to identify chokepoints for chemical or genetic interventions. However, compared to the well-characterized chemoreception mechanism in model nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, plant nematode chemoreception is yet underexplored. Herein, the full-length cDNA sequences of two chemo
