Abstract
Entomopathogenic
nematodes (EPNs) have been utilized in biological control but improvement is required
to know their full potential for broader application in agriculture. Some improvements
are gained through selective breeding and also the isolation of further species
and populations. Having genomic sequences for a minimum of six EPNs opens the
possibility of genetic improvement, either by facilitating the choice of
candidate genes for hypothesis-driven studies of gene-trait relationships or by
genomics-assisted breeding for desirable traits. However, the genomic data are getting
to be of limited use without a more mechanistic understanding of the genes
underlying traits vital for biological control. In addition, molecular tools
are used to completely translate the genomic resources into further functional
studies and better biological control.
