Plant parasitic nematode infection of crops can be highly detrimental to agricultural production. Since the discovery that plant roots release chemicals that attract the infective stage of plant parasitic nematodes some 80 years ago, significant progress in identifying the signaling molecules has occurred only relatively recently. Here, we review the literature on chemical ecological studies of two major plant parasitic nematode groups: root knot nematodes in the genus Meloidogyne and cyst nematodes in the genus Globodera because of the negative impact their parasitism has on farming systems in Africa. We then highlight perspectives for future directions for their management.
植物寄生线虫感染作物可能对农业生产造成极大的危害。自从大约 80 年前发现植物根部会释放吸引植物寄生线虫感染阶段的化学物质以来，直到最近才在确定信号分子方面取得了重大进展。在这里，我们回顾了关于两种主要植物寄生线虫群的化学生态研究的文献：根结线虫属的根结线虫和球囊线虫属的胞囊线虫，因为它们的寄生对非洲农业系统造成了负面影响。然后，我们强调了它们管理的未来方向的观点。
