Work by scientists at Iowa State and the University of Missouri on how nematodes damage soybeans is featured on the cover of the March issue of the journal Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions. Thomas Baum, plant pathology, and Dan Nettleton, statistics, took part in the research at Iowa State. Researchers examined the molecular mechanisms that allow the nematodes to reprogram soybean plant cells to support their feeding. The results from their studies may lead to more effective management tools to combat the agricultural pest and protect this vital U.S. crop. CSREES funded the research. Read More!
