Beech leaf disease nematode. Litylenchus crenatae, family. #BLD #beechforestneedshelp

Hard to believe but our favorite nematode is out there active… beech leaf disease nematode!

!!! preprint alert !!!

The SUbventral-Gland master Regulator (SUGR) of nematode virulence is central to a feed forward loop for host entry.

The origin, deployment, and evolution of a plant-parasitic nematode effectorome.

Includes the effector network, which we think is both beautiful and useful 😍
