Characterising nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the plant parasitic nematode Globodera pallida
Characterising nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the plant parasitic nematode Globodera pallida
G. pallida is a cyst nematode; infective juvenile worms locate and invade host potato roots within a short time period while the environmental conditions are optimal. Therefore, locomotion is an essential component of its invasion strategy. It belongs to the phylum Nematoda, which also includes the free-living model genetic nematode C. elegans. We explored the idea that the neurobiological basis of C. elegans locomotion is likely to be conserved between nematodes and provide a route to new molecular targets for pest control.

Abstract
G. pallida is a cyst nematode; infective juvenile worms locate and invade host potato roots within a short time period while the environmental conditions are optimal. Therefore, locomotion is an essential component of its invasion strategy. It belongs to the phylum Nematoda, which also includes the free-living model genetic nematode C. elegans. We explored the idea that the neurobiological basis of C. elegans locomotion is likely to be conserved between nematodes and provide a route to new molecular targets for pest control.
