🔝 From 2 to 5 June, a broad number of #NEMEMERGE partners participated in the 36th ESN Symposium, presenting their results🐛 🍅 🥔 🔬 🗣️ Seven oral presentations showcased the advancements made and results achieved in the project research activity on: ✔️ Managing Globodera rostochiensis in Kenya ✔️ Mitochondrial DNA sequencing for tropical Meloidogyne spp. recognition ✔️ Globodera pallida's adaptation to masculinising potato resistances ✔️ Global distribution of fungal nematode antagonists ✔️ Distribution, density and identification of root-knot nematodes in Türkiye ✔️ The exobiome of plant-parasitic nematodes ✔️ Modulation of soil microbiome with cover crops to suppress the root knot nematode in potato 🖼️ Five poster presentations completed the scientific contribution of NEM-EMERGE to the symposium: ✔️ Evidence of virulent and avirulent Meloidogyne spp. populations on resistant tomato in Slovenia ✔️ Detection of tropical Meloidogyne luci in a tomato field in Slovenia ✔️ The resistance response of the Mi-1.2 gene against Meloidogyne luci at high temperatures ✔️ DNA sequencing technology to map effects of cover-crops on nematode antagonists ✔️ Identifying the molecular mechanisms behind the thermosensitivity of nematode resistance in tomato ✨ The icing on the cake was the workshop organised by the three projects PCN Action Scotland, PAPAS: Potatoes and Pests — Actionable Science Against Nematodes, and NEM-EMERGE 🔎 Want to know more?
