Rhizosphere Microbiomes Respond to Plant-Parasitic Nematode Cues and Contribute to Host Defence.

Plant-parasitic nematodes (PPNs) cause major crop losses, while current nematicides face increasing regulatory restrictions and often show inconsistent efficacy. We tested whether nematode-associated cues activate rhizosphere microbiomes and cuticle-associated fungi to produce suppressive metabolites that impair nemato...
