Objective Building on preceding EU projects (BI04-CT96-0318, Fairly-CT95-0905), potato and tomato plants will be generated with robust and durable resistances against root knot and cyst nematodes. The resistances will be based on the creation of multiple barriers. Because basic mechanisms of plant-nematode interactions will be studied and disrupted, the outcome of this project will also provide means to engineer resistance against other plant parasitic nematodes. To increase the chance of public acceptance, the engineered resistance will be highly specific for the target organisms and the expression of the anti-nematode genes will be reduced to a minimum outside the spots of interest.
