	abstract = {As plant-nematode research continues to use the model host plant Arabidopsis thaliana more and more, we made a detailed life cycle study of Heterodera schachtii on this host, and investigated pharyngeal gland activities at the most crucial steps during the establishment of the parasitic interaction. In our experimental set up, in most cases induction of syncytia occurred during day 2, and the second moult during day 6. In pre-parasitic juveniles, both subventral glands contained numerous secretory granules, which gradually disappeared during intracellular migration of the juvenile through the roots. At the same time, both glands decreased in size and, after induction of the feeding cell, new kinds of secretory granules could be observed in the cytoplasm. During migration and induction of the feeding cell, the dorsal pharyngeal gland continuously increased in size. Secretory granules were already present in the dorsal gland of pre-parasitic juveniles, and a continuous synthesis of these granules was observed thereafter. Once the syncytium was induced, however, different types of secretory granules were formed.},

	abstract = {Plant parasitic nematodes are known to cause a severe reduction in crop yield. Recently much effort is being put to engineering new nematode-resistant crop cultivars. Plant parasitic nematodes occur in three widely separated orders: Triplonchida, Dorylaimida and Tylenchida. All triplonchid and dorylaimid plant parasitic nematodes are migratory ectoparasites of roots. Within the Tylenchida, several different types of plant parasitism can be recognised. The sedentary endoparasites have the most complex interaction with their host, and are responsible for the vast majority of the agricultural damage. This causes most research to be concentrated on two groups of the sedentary endoparasitic nematodes: cyst- and root-knot nematodes. Both induce specialised feeding structures in the vascular cylinder of the plant root. The mechanism of phytoparasitism of the cyst- and root-knot nematodes is reviewed, of which some aspects will be applicable to the study of the other plant parasitic nematodes.},
