#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🌱

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
