Gene expression analysis in<i>Musa acuminata</i>during compatible interactions with<i>Meloidogyne incognita</i>

Abstract

Expression analysis in M. acuminata during compatible interactions with RKNs provides insights into genes modulated during infection and giant cell formation. Increased understanding of both defence responses to limit parasitism during compatible interactions and effector-targeted host genes in this complex interaction will facilitate the development of genetic improvement measures for RKNs.
