Overview

Pierre Abad is affiliated with INRAE, the Institut national de recherche pour l'agriculture, l'alimentation et l'environnement in France. Their research primarily focuses on agricultural and biological sciences, with a strong emphasis on plant science. Additional subfields within their body of work include insect science, agronomy and crop science, ecology, and molecular biology.

The main topics Pierre Abad has investigated cover a range of areas related to plant and insect interactions, including:

  • Nematode management and characterization studies
  • Legume nitrogen fixing symbiosis
  • Plant molecular biology research
  • Plant virus research studies
  • Agronomic practices and intercropping systems
  • Plant nutrient uptake and metabolism
  • Insect symbiosis and bacterial influences

The scientist has published extensively, with frequent contributions to the following venues:

  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • New Phytologist
  • Journal of Experimental Botany
  • Plant Communications
  • CABI Agriculture and Bioscience

Among recent notable papers are:

  • The root-knot nematode effector MiEFF18 interacts with the plant core spliceosomal protein SmD1 required for giant cell formation (2020, New Phytologist)
  • The root-knot nematode effector MiPDI1 targets a stress-associated protein (SAP) to establish disease in Solanaceae and Arabidopsis (2020, New Phytologist)
  • Gall-Inducing Parasites: Convergent and Conserved Strategies of Plant Manipulation by Insects and Nematodes (2020, Annual Review of Phytopathology)
  • A Meloidogyne incognita C-type lectin effector targets plant catalases to promote parasitism (2021, New Phytologist)
