🔬 Major advance on #PCN #GloboderaPallida in Western #Europe🌍
Researchers from #NEMEMERGE found that virulent nematode populations share the same gene🧬A new #PCR test can detect it in field samples, helping #farmers & #breeders🥔

#NEMEMERGE research highlights a challenge for durable #potato🥔 resistance
🪱G. pallida #PCN can adapt to overcome even #GenePyramiding after several generations
➡️ Sustainable crop resistance needs adaptive, evolution-aware strategies

🥔⚠️ Globodera pallida is evolving to overcome major #potato resistance
Researchers from #NEMEMERGE found a single gene, Gp-pat-1, drives virulence against GpaVvrn-resistant potatoes, explaining how resistance breaks down in the field🌱

🌿 #NEMEMERGE at the II Jornada HUB Sanitat Vegetal Horta #Catalonia #Spain
Aïda Fullana (#UPC) presented research on Meloidogyne spp. populations in northern Spain and the presence of tropical root-knot nematodes in horticultural crops ℹ️ nem-emerge.eu/2026/03/12/n... @scienceinnovation.ec.europa.eu
🌱 #NEMEMERGE at the 17th Slovenian Conference on #PlantProtection
We joined ~200 researchers, students & stakeholders in #Radenci 📍
Two posters were presented:
• Virulence of Slovenian root-knot nematodes
• Occurrence of Meloidogyne luci in field-grown tomatoes

🌱 #Farmers in Nyandarua #Kenya explored PCN & RKN management and learned about resistant potato varieties Glen & Malaika🥔
35+ #stakeholders joined the #NEMEMERGE training to boost adoption of sustainable solutions.

👥 We held an intense and exciting three-day #AnnualMeeting in #Istanbul. The project is now halfway through, in full speed, and we had the opportunity to share talks and workshops, and interact with each other 🤝
Thank you all for your active participation! #NEMEMERGE @scienceinnovation.ec.europa.eu
⚠️ Do you work with nematodes, or are they a problem for you? Do you need training? Your input is needed!

🤝 The third day concluded with the same cooperative atmosphere that had characterised the entire event.
Thank you all for your participation, and especially to
Ondokuz University for hosting us so well👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 #AnnualMeeting #Istanbul

Day 3️⃣ of the #NEMEMERGE #AnnualMeeting in #Istanbul
We are entering the final stretch, with a focus on R&D activities, including progress and plans for new developments.
#nematology #agriculture #HorizonEU @w-u-r.bsky.social @scienceinnovation.ec.europa.eu
👥 The afternoon was devoted to #stakeholders
🍅 More than 50 Turkish stakeholders from various sectors of the #tomato supply chain met the project partners and shared the tools developed against root-knot #nematodes 🪱 #AnnualMeeting
ℹ️ nem-emerge.eu/2026/02/10/a... @scienceinnovation.ec.europa.eu
On day 2️⃣ of the #NEMEMERGE #AnnualMeeting, we focused on the topics of #GlobalWarming and #GeneticSelection 🌡🧬
Partners presented insightful and in-depth information on the research conducted to date 🔍
#Istanbul #nematology #agriculture #HorizonEU @w-u-r.bsky.social @scienceinnovation.ec.europa.eu
The 1st day of the #AnnualMeeting is concluded
Throughout the discussions, partners consistently emphasised the importance of delivering results that are directly relevant to end users, particularly breeding companies & potato, tomato farmers🌱

Each working group reported on the work carried out so far & highlighted the main challenges🎯
The evaluation reporting period was also a focus and, above all, the members devoted themselves to discuss on the effect of #GlobalWarming on the expansion of root-knot #nematodes🪱#NEMEMERGE #AnnualMeeting
👥The 2nd #NEMEMERGE #AnnualMeeting is underway!
Following the welcome & opening remarks by Ondokuz Mayıs University and the coordinators (@w-u-r.bsky.social) we began by reviewing the progress of each working group and sharing our plans for the next year.
#Istanbul @scienceinnovation.ec.europa.eu
📢 With the International Day of #WomenInScience approaching, we have a message to share 👩🏼🔬👩🏾🔬👩🏽🔬
🗣 We asked our female researchers about the importance of this day, the challenges & rewards of working in the field, and the advice they would give to young women🎥 youtu.be/vAVb6jQPI68?... #11F
📢 The 2nd #NEMEMERGE #AnnualMeeting in #Istanbul is coming up🕌
At the project’s halfway point, we’ll be sharing key #results and discussing next steps in our research on #nematodes 🪱
Looking forward to productive discussions & #collaboration 🤝 @w-u-r.bsky.social @scienceinnovation.ec.europa.eu
