Fungi as Biological Control Agents of Plant-Parasitic Nematodes (2020, background): “As the nematode eggshell mainly contains chitin and proteins [252], proteases, chitinases and lipases play an important role during eggshell penetration; however their penetration involvement have not as yet been examined to the same extent and detail [46, 197, 257].”
Parasitism of Trichoderma on Meloidogyne javanica and role of the gelatinous matrix (2007, background): “This combination of enzymes is required to disrupt the eggshell (Tikhonov et al. 2002; Khan et al. 2004), although chitinolytic capacity is probably the most important activity on the eggshells (Morton et al. 2004).”
Fungal chitinases and their biological role in the antagonism onto nematode eggs. A review (2008, background): “Interestingly, chitin is present only in the eggshell of nematodes, and for this reason it is the target of possible control strategies (Spindler et al. 1990, Veronico et al. 2001; Khan et al. 2004; Morton et al. 2004; De Jin et al. 2005).”
