Abstract

The Southern root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita causes huge crop losses. We investigated the effects of RNA interference directed against the M. incognita posterior segregation-1 gene. The RNAi resulted in a drastic reduction in the relative amount of pos-1 transcript. Also, it reduced reproductive potential in terms of hatching rate from eggs, probably due to embryonic lethality.
