Hybridization and polyploidy enable genomic plasticity without sex in the most devastating plant-parasitic nematodes.

Hybridization and polyploidy enable genomic plasticity without sex in the most devastating plant-parasitic nematodes.

Root-knot nematodes (genus Meloidogyne) exhibit a diversity of reproductive modes ranging from obligatory sexual to fully asexual reproduction.
