Nematology

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
