ABSTRACT
Sangeetha
K, Babu RO, Eapen SJ., EST secretome analysis of burrowing nematode – Radopholus similis, Onl J Vet Res., 27
(2): 72-88, 2023. Plant
parasitic nematodes excrete or secrete (ES) various types of molecules in host
plants. The secretome of Radopholus
similis could identify drug targets and
biomarkers for diagnostics or nematode survival factors. Patterns of gene
annotation and functional diversity of excretory/secretory proteins of
burrowing nematode (R. similis) were
determined. Two hundred fourteen secretory proteins of R similis were identified. Forty six
percent of gene ontology terms were associated with biological processes, 38% with
molecular function and 16% with cellular components. InterProScan
revealed EGF and IGFBP like domains. The role of hypothetical proteins involved
in signaling, metabolic and degradative pathways and those preserved for R. similis species are described.
