Genome sequence of the metazoan plant-parasitic nematode Meloidogyne incognita

Pierre Abad, +76 more
- 27 Jul 2008 - 
TL;DR: The draft genome sequence of the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita, a biotrophic parasite of many crops, is reported, providing insights into the adaptations required by metazoans to successfully parasitize immunocompetent plants, and open the way for discovering new antiparasitic strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI

TLR-independent control of innate immunity in Caenorhabditis elegans by the TIR domain adaptor protein TIR-1, an ortholog of human SARM.

TL;DR: It is shown that the small GTPase Rab1 and the f subunit of ATP synthase participate specifically in the control of antimicrobial peptide gene expression, and TIR-1 may represent a component of a previously uncharacterized, but conserved, innate immune signaling pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inducible Antibacterial Defense System in C. elegans

TL;DR: It is shown here that infection of C. elegans by the Gram-negative bacterium Serratia marcescens provokes a marked upregulation of the expression of many genes, leading to the first demonstration of inducible antibacterial defenses in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans.
Journal ArticleDOI

A reverse genetic analysis of components of the Toll signaling pathway in Caenorhabditis elegans.

TL;DR: In C. elegans, tol-1 is important for development and pathogen recognition, as is Toll in Drosophila, but remarkably for the latter rôle, it functions in the context of a behavioral mechanism that keeps worms away from potential danger.
Journal ArticleDOI

Detection and avoidance of a natural product from the pathogenic bacterium Serratia marcescens by Caenorhabditis elegans

TL;DR: By combining bacterial genetics and nematode genetics, it is shown that C. elegans specifically avoids certain strains of Serratia based on their production of the cyclic lipodepsipentapeptide serrawettin W2.
