Plant-parasitic nematodes cause substantial damage to agricultural crops world-wide. The selective movement of nematodes toward known and unknown chemical cues is referred to as chemotaxis. In the soil, chemotaxis is a complex phenomenon where interplay among multiple attractants and repellents produce long-range and short-range spatiotemporal signals for the nematodes. Understanding the factors involved with plant-parasitic nematode chemotaxis is a scientifically intriguing topic that could lead to advances in managing these pests. Here chemotactic behavior of plant-parasitic nematode is reviewed.
