NEMATIC: a simple and versatile tool for the in silico analysis of plant-nematode interactions.

ABSTRACT: Novel approaches for the control of agriculturally damaging nematodes are sorely needed. Endoparasitic nematodes complete their life cycle within the root vascular cylinder, inducing specialized feeding cells: giant cells for root-knot nematodes and syncytia for cyst nematodes. Both nematodes hijack parts of the transduction cascades involved in developmental processes, or partially mimic the plant responses to other interactions with microorganisms, but molecular evidence of their differences and commonalities is still under investigation. Transcriptomics has been used to describe global expression profiles of their interaction with Arabidopsis, generating vast lists of differentially expressed genes. Although these results are available in public databases and publications, the informati
