F. auteur aut IRD text journalArticle eng text/pdf born digital access Several economically important crops are susceptible to root-knot nematode (RKNs). Meloidogyne incognita and M. javanica are the two most reported species from the RKN complex, causing damage to several crops worldwide. The successful outcome of the Meloidogyne-plant interaction is associated with molecular factors secreted by the nematode to suppress the plant's immune response and promote nematode parasitism. In contrast, several plant factors are associated with defense against nematode infection. In this study, we identified and characterized the specific interaction of Minc00344 and Mj-NULG1a effectors with soybean GmHub10 (Glyma.19G008200) protein in vitro and in vivo. An Arabidopsis thaliana T-DNA mutant of AtHub10 (AT3G27960, an orthologous gene of GmHub10) showed higher susceptibility to M. incognita. Thus, since soybean and A. thaliana Hub10 proteins are involved in pollen tube growth and indirect activation of the defense response, our data suggest that effector-Hub10 interactions could be associated with an increase in plant susceptibility. These findings indicate the potential of these effector proteins to develop new biotechnological tools based on RNA interference and the overexpression of engineered Hub10 proteins for the efficient management of RKN in crops. specialized Plant-parasitic nematodes Effector RNA interference Protein-protein interaction Nematode management 076 080 020 229 108153 [12 p.] 2021 0014-4894 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010082831 10.1016/j.exppara.2021.108153 0014-4894 [F B010082831] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010082831 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/2021-11/010082831.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2021-11-10 2025-02-24 fdi:010082831 fre
