Introduction to Plant-Parasitic Nematodes; Modes of Parasitism (2011, background): “Jones et al. (2005 ) argued that acquisition of such genes via HGT has played a critical role in the evolution of plant parasitism.”
The Impact of Plant-Parasitic Nematodes on Agriculture and Methods of Control (2017, background): “Plant-parasitic nematode GH5 cellulases show closes homologies with bacterial G5s, which suggests an initial horizontal gene transfer of bacterial G5 cellulases into nematode genomes during the evolution of the plant-parasitic order Rhabditida (suborder Tylenchina) [14, 15].”
