Very excited to share our new preprint on DGR-1: a nematode master regulator controlling the switch from destructive to biotrophic effectors. We show that nematodes hijack the natural compartmentalisation of plant signals to fine-tune DGR-1 expression. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
Young Nematologists Network
@youngnemas.bsky.social
Connecting and enabling early career researchers in nematology. Supported by European Society of Nematologists. .
Exciting workshop at ESN organised by YNN: “Knot” what we expected: extracting value from negative results, organised by YNN. Dstnguished researchers @sebastianevda.bsky.social, Godelieve Gheysen, and Florian Grundler shared stories of research that didn’t go as planned but led to valuable insights.
We are excited to announce our next Trends in Nematology Webinar on Nematode Systematics!🪱 When: 16th April, 2026 Time: 16:00-17:15 CEST Register here or using the QR code below -> forms.gle/qh5ZmA9MgqUb... Looking forward to seeing you there!!!
Last chance to join our YNN session at #ESN2026. Abstract submission closes tomorrow!
Excited to announce we are organising a YNN themed session at the 36th Symposium of the European Society of Nematologists June 1–5, 2026. This session will explore unexpected or negative results to extract meaningful messages. Submit your abstract until the 30th January -> forms.gle/9wU8tGbwLxaS...
Research rarely goes as planned yet we often don’t talk about it. Did unexpected results challenge your hypothesis? Did a promising idea lead to a dead end? We want to hear about it in our special YNN session at #ESN2026. #Nematology #OpenScience #ResearchLessons

NEMATODE MONDAY: Early development of galls on squash roots caused by southern Root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne incognita) RKN. The galling disrupts normal root function & will become more severe as the season progresses. Note the yellow, stunted plants in background symptomatic of RKN. #Nematode 🧪
Any zoo-parasite nema-researchers here? This picture shows the head of Ostertagia ostertagi, a parasite of cattle 🐄 for which Ruud Wilbers (Wageningen University) develops vaccines. Interested? Please check his webpage: www.wur.nl/en/persons/r...
Exciting: YNN, SON and APN working together to bring excellent NemaEvents later this year! Curious to know more? Follow us and stay tuned for updates! #Science #PlantPathology #Nematology #Nematodes
Still reflecting on our last webinar—we had participants from 15 different countries tuning in! It was truly exciting to see such diversity and the high level of engagement from nematologists around the world. 🌍✨
