Parasitic Nematodes that Cause Greatest Agricultural Damage Abandoned Sex (IMAGE)
Caption
The central circle illustrates a conserved genome region present as a single copy in a sexual root-knot nematode (grey lines) while in three copies in each of the three asexual ones (violet lines). The two pictures at the top of the figure show carrot (left) and tomato root (right) infected by root-knot nematodes. The two pictures at the bottom show a root-knot nematode adult female full of eggs (left) and an infective juvenile (right).
