Abstract

Biological control of the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita, one of the world's most destructive crop pathogens, presents a major opportunity for safely improving global agricultural yields. Its 86-Mb genome—the first to be sequenced for a strictly parthenogenetic species—provides a blueprint...
