The root knot nematode effector MiEFF186 interacts with a splicing factor to reshape plant transcriptome
The root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita secretes specific effectors to manipulate root cells and induce their redifferentiation into multinucleate feeding giant cells, which are essential for its development. A dedicated screen identified the M. incognita MiEFF186a effector as a regulator of alternative splicing, a crucial mechanism of transcriptional gene regulation whereby a single gene…
