How do #plants cope with fundamentally different types of belowground attack? We challenged #Arabidopsis with three #nematode species — one migratory, two sedentary — and the answers surprised us. t.co/yYvOcB2sVU14 Apr 2026 08:07 +0000at://did:plc:cdcfev6y3p5m6dozysdjfhit/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjgwesqork2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/jaapjanwillig.bsky.social/post/3mi7vjrtfc22yNew paper out! 🌱 Plant defence isn’t a free upgrade. We show phloem proteins can boost resistance to one attacker but increase susceptibility to another (incl. cyst nematodes).
