Our research:
- Epigenetics and defense
- Analysis of nematode resistance in plants
- Evaluation of effects of potential nematicide molecules on plant-parasitic nematodes
- Direct nematicidal assays
- Indirect effects: bio-assays on plants
- Used models: Heterodera schachtii – sugarbeet; Meloidogyne graminicola - rice/wheat; Pratylenchus spp. – rice/wheat
