. 2018 Jun;
35(10):2401-2413.
PMID: 29955862
Managing the emergence and spread of crop pests and pathogens is essential for global food security. Understanding how organisms have adapted to their native climate is key to predicting the...

Phytopathology
. 2018 Jan;
108(5):641-650.
PMID: 29291356
Coffee yields are adversely affected by plant-parasitic nematodes and the pathogens are largely underreported because a simple and reliable identification method is not available. We describe a polymerase chain reaction-based...

. 2017 Jul;
16(2):520-529.
PMID: 28703405
Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) molecules targeting two genes have been identified that suppress economically important parasitic nematode species of banana. Proteasomal alpha subunit 4 (pas-4) and Actin-4 (act-4) were identified from...
