The importance of histone modification in strigolactone-dependent seed germination of parasitic plants Ghent University
Parasitic plants are a global threat in agriculture as they cause a substantial loss of yield in many commercial crops. The parasite Phelipanche ramosa for example threatens winter oilseed rape production in France but is also present in other European countries and is likely to become a problem for Belgium farmers. An essential step in the lifecycle of parasitic plants is their germination, which is activated upon sensing the presence of a ...

Characterization of plant parasitic nematodes and fungal pathogens associated with banana in East Africa and their bio-control by means of endophytes Ghent University
Plant-parasitic nematodes and Fusarium wilt of banana are significant pest of banana causing significant crop losses. A survey and visual assessment of banana farms in Kenya/Uganda will be done to characterise the plant-parasitic nematodes and the fungal endophytes associated with banana. Competent fungal endophytes for nematode and Fusarium wilt management will be
identified.

Control of plant parasitic nematodes with green manure crops in open air vegetables Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
To what extent can we control harmful nematode populations in outdoor vegetable cultivation via an IPM-based approach, in particular by using smart rotations and the judicious use of green cover crops? That was the challenging research question in this project. In particular, it concerns two soil nematodes (nematodes), namely the root lesion nematode Pratylenchus penetrans and the ...

Unraveling the role of root-knot nematode effectors in interaction with tomato roots for plant parasite control Ghent University
Paradi2s: PARAsitic DIversity, vectors, host and transfers in Early Cretaceous DInosaur-aSsociated vertebrates Ghent University
Over geological times, biological crises and diversification events have fashioned the evolutionary history of plants and animals. Palaeontologists usually interpret the evolutionary success of a lineage and its demise in direct relation to environmental variations, including its food web and climate changes. The impact of interspecific associations, like parasitism, is usually completely neglected by palaeontologists, although parasitism and ...
