Effect of fluensulfone on different functional genes of root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita.

ABSTRACT: Meloidogyne incognita is an obligate plant-parasitic nematode causing serious damage to agricultural crops. Major constraints in nematode management arose due to the limited availability of non-fumigant nematicides in conjunction with the considerable ill effects of fumigants on human and non-target organisms. Recently, fluensulfone has been reported to be an effective non-fumigant nematicide against plant-parasitic nematodes and the model nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. The nematicidal efficacy varies according to its concentration at the time of application, exposure timing, nematode species variability, and even across subpopulations within the same species. It interferes with the key physiological processes of nematodes, like motility, behavior, chemosensation, stylet thrusting, infec
