Cyst nematode parasites disrupt beneficial associations of crops with rhizobia and mycorrhiza. Chen et al. discovered the mechanism and demonstrated that the soybean cyst nematode Heterodera glycines secretes a chitinase that destroys key symbiotic signals from the microbial symbionts. The authors further developed a chitinase inhibitor that alleviates symbiosis inhibition.
