The Meloidogyne incognita group (MIG) of nematodes, including Meloidogyne javanica, contains some of the most destructive crop pathogens worldwide. Genetic resistance, such as through the Mi-1 gene, is used to limit M. javanica infection, but resista...

We present the chromosome-scale genome assembly of the allopolyploid root-knot nematode Meloidogyne javanica. We show that the M. javanica genome is predominantly allotetraploid, comprising two subgenomes, A and B, that most likely originated from hy...
