A possible ancient bacterial origin of these genes has been theorized [ 17 18 19 ] . A bacterial origin for a number of root-knot nematode (RKN) genes also has been proposed, although their possible role in parasitism is less clear.
It is possible that root-knot nematodes have adapted a portion of Nod factor biology to the induction of feeding sites, rather than nodules, in plants.
Both basic understanding of root-knot nematode biology and applied research toward new means of nematode control are now beginning to benefit from the rapid identification of transcribed genes in the species.
MI00244.cl, for example, had homology to 47 ESTs in our collection from other Tylenchida species including root-knot nematodes M. javanica, M. hapla and M. arenaria , cyst nematodes H. glycines and G. rostochiensis , and the lesion nematode Pratylenchus penetrans with E-values from 7e-78 to 3e-05.
The most extensively studied HGT candidates are four genes encoding β-1,4-endoglucanase, initially identified in the cyst nematodes G. rostochiensis and H. glycines [ 18 19 ] . These four genes (NemaGene Contig IDs MI00537, MI01011, MI01381 and MI01842) [ 30 ] appear to define two sets of paralogs formed before divergence of the cyst and root-knot nematodes.
