Summary: This review focuses on exploring safe and effective alternative methods to minimize yield losses caused by plant-parasitic nematodes (PPNs), including biologicals, botanicals, non-host crops, and modern techniques. It provides an overview of the interactions with other biotic and abiotic factors for PPN management, evaluates specific production practices, and suggests optimizing gains from PPN control mechanisms. The review also emphasizes the importance of agricultural conservation practices to address issues related to the reliability and slow activity of biologicals against PPNs.

Summary: This study found that a single root application of a mixture of trans-cinnamic acid (t-CA) and (4E)-5-phenylpent-4-enoic acid (PPA) significantly reduced the penetration of Meloidogyne incognita infective juveniles (J2s) into cowpea roots without impairing plant growth or chlorophyll content.

Summary: In this study, a new chitosan oligosaccharide derivative was synthesized and evaluated for its nematocidal activity and mode of action against root-knot nematode. The derivative exhibited high activity against the nematode and inhibited egg hatching at low concentration. It was found to disrupt the nematode's ROS metabolism and cause damage to its intestinal tissue.

Summary: Populus trees face continuous environmental challenges throughout their life cycle, exhibiting various defenses including the production of secondary metabolites. While many of these metabolites have been functionally described, their overall functions are still not fully understood. Research indicates therapeutic effects and leads to further study of secondary metabolites and their biosynthesis in Populus.

Summary: Pydiflumetofen, a fungicide, was tested as a seed treatment in soybean to control fungal diseases and plant-parasitic nematodes. The study found that pydiflumetofen had no toxic effect on M. incognita and did not suppress its infection of host roots. The results showed that pydiflumetofen had no discernible impact on the motility or infectivity of M. incognita.

Summary: This study aims to compare the metabolomic profiles of infected and uninfected roots of different Psidium spp. to identify potential secondary metabolites for nematode control. The findings show that the plant metabolism of all three species undergoes alterations in response to the infection, particularly in terms of polar secondary metabolites. Interestingly, non-polar substances, including terpenes, were found in the resistant and immune species, suggesting their potential role as inhibitors of the nematode.

Summary: Plants communicate with microorganisms through metabolites exuded from roots, which play a crucial role in modulating the functions of plant associated microbiota. Recent research has identified various metabolites involved in this communication network, but there are still significant knowledge gaps to be filled in future studies.

Summary: Garlic-based nematicide NEMguard (R) DE showed strong nematicidal activity, protecting tomato roots from Meloidogyne incognita. However, in trials conducted in loamy sandy soil, no effective control of the nematode was observed. Further experiments are needed to explore the nematicidal potential of NEMguard (R) DE under different soil compositions or formulations.

Summary: Plants respond to stress by forming a coordinated defense process through glycosylation modification reactions, which involve a variety of unknown glycosyltransferases and related small molecule compounds. Autotoxicity defense compounds are stored in inactive forms to release toxic aglycones and generate cascade effects.

Summary: It has been reported that Actinobacteria, specifically Streptomyces albogriseolus ND41 and S. fimicarius D153, produce nematicidal metabolites with significant activity against Meloidogyne incognita. These metabolites are hydrosoluble macromolecules, making them compatible with soil and roots, and convenient for practical application.

Summary: Endophytes, widely present in host plants, play a vital role in promoting plant growth and enhancing their resistance to diseases, pests, and environmental stresses. They also improve the synthesis of important secondary metabolites in plants, and enhance the potential applicability of plants in agriculture, medicine, food, and horticulture. This review summarizes recent progress in understanding the interaction between endophytes and plants, including the construction of synthetic microbial communities and metaomics analysis. The application and development prospects of endophytes in agriculture, medicine, and other industries are discussed to provide a reference for further study and utilization.

Summary: The rise in global temperature has led to increased pests and pathogens, posing a threat to global food security. Plant secondary metabolites play a crucial role in defending against these stressors. Modern technologies help in understanding the structure and function of these metabolites, as well as their biosynthesis. Enzymatic regulations and molecular mechanisms are important in utilizing secondary metabolites for pest management. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the major plant secondary metabolites involved in enhancing biotic stress tolerance.
