Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to genes which may be utilized to induce resistance to root-knot nematode (RKN). More specifically the present disclosure provides genes that, when inactivated, silenced, underexpressed, and/or overexpressed in a plant, particularly, a tomato plant, can confer upon the plant resistance to RKN. Methods of using these genes to obtain plants, particularly tomato plants, that are resistant to RKN are also provided.
