Mechanism Analysis of Plant Hormones to Nematode Infection

As trace signal molecules in plants, endogenous plant hormones play an essential role in regulating plant growth and development. Under normal conditions, a certain balance is maintained between the hormones, which together regulate the growth, development, and metabolism of the plant. However, when the host plant is infested with nematodes, hormone homeostasis is affected due to changes in endogenous hormones caused by the plant activating its defense system; in addition, nematodes alter the production of plant hormones through their secretions or effector proteins when feeding on the plant root system for cellular nutrients.

Lifeasible is committed to helping our customers achieve effective and successful research. We provide convenient and guaranteed mechanism analysis of plant hormones in response to nematode infection. In addition, we deliver reliable results and reports on time to our customers worldwide.

Analysis of SA and JA Response to Nematode Infection

• Many studies have now confirmed that salicylic acids (SA) and jasmonic acids (JA) are key regulators involved in plant disease resistance signaling pathways. However, each hormone does not have a single biological role in the plant, but rather there is a crosstalk of hormones that function together at different stages and under different environmental conditions to enhance the plant's ability to adapt to its environment.
• Lifeasible provides analysis of SA and JA in response to nematode infection in plants, including SA pretreatment of plants significantly enhances host plant resistance to nematodes, and JA as a defense molecule regulates host resistance to plant nematodes.

Analysis of Ethylene Response to Nematode Infection

• Ethylene also plays an important role in nematode attraction, migration, formation of feeding sites, and host defense. We provide an analysis of ethylene in response to nematode infection in plants.
• On the one hand, we help to study the classic ethylene signaling pathway by inhibiting the SA-triggered defense response, consistent with an ethylene-enhanced nematode infestation phenotype; on the other hand, we also help to study the independent ethylene signaling pathway involving the regulation of ethylene receptor ETR1 and cytokinin signaling, which is significantly inhibited when ETR1 activity is eliminated, leading to host resistance to nematode infection.

Analysis of Auxin and Cytokinin Response to Nematode Infection

• In addition to these defense hormones, auxin and cytokinin (CK) are involved in establishing mature feeding cells in nematodes. Auxin and CK have been detected in the secretions of many plant nematodes, but their effects on feeding cells are not yet known.
• We provide analysis of auxin and CK in response to nematode infection in plants, including the synthesis, signaling, and metabolic effects of these two hormones on nematode feeding sites.
