Meloidogyne incognita is a major parasite of numerous plant families, including many crop species. Upon infection of the plant root, it induces several multinucleate giant cells by the injection of pharyngeal gland secretions into the root cells. In order to obtain a better understanding of the nematode-plant interaction, characterization of the pharyngeal gland secretions is a necessity. By differential display, a nematode gene was identified that encodes a new member of the SXP/RAL-2 protein family. The gene is specifically expressed in the subventral pharyngeal glands and the protein is most likely secreted.
南方根结线虫是众多植物科的主要寄生虫，包括许多作物品种。在感染植物根部后，它通过将咽腺分泌物注入根细胞诱导形成几个多核巨细胞。为了更好地理解线虫与植物的相互作用，对咽腺分泌物进行表征是必要的。通过差异显示，鉴定出一个线虫基因，它编码SXP/RAL-2蛋白家族的一个新成员。该基因在腹侧亚咽腺中特异性表达，并且该蛋白很可能是分泌型的。
