Abstract

Plant parasitic nematodes are among the most important biotic constraints with potential for causing crop yield losses of 8–15% across a wide range of crops in the world. Although chemical fumigants have proved to be most effective in controlling plant nematodes for over one and half centuries, they are costly, environmentally unfriendly, and hazardous to human and animal life. As such, alternative methods for controlling nematodes, preferably non-chemical methods, should be developed and adopted by agricultural producers. The use of host plant resistance (HPR) is one of the options that have been used in the nematode management for many years. This has been particularly successful in the control of nematode genera that exhibit specialized host-parasite interaction for part of their life cycles, for example Aphelenchoides, Ditylenchus, Globodera, Heterodera, Meloidogyne, Pratylenchus, Radopholus, Rotylenchulus, and Tylenchulus. The nematode-resistant cultivars have been developed in numerous cultivated crops including chickpea (Cicer arietinum), peach (Prunus persica), tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum), and tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) against Meloidogyne. Recent trends in the use of HPR in plant nematology have seen new approaches in genome sequencing and genome editing being used extensively to study the complex genomic/transcriptomic interactions in plants in response to pathogen attacks. The use of spray-induced gene silencing (SIGS), RNA interference (RNAi), host-induced gene silencing (HIGS), cross kingdom RNAi, and also, engineering plant susceptibility genes is among some new advances that are currently receiving attention in the development of nematode resistant cultivars. These modern technologies have potential to provide sustainable and cost-effective strategies to manage nematodes to reduce crop yield losses due to these parasites and should thus be a subject for future studies.
