摘要： Root-knot nematodes (RKNs) pose a significant threat to global crop production. Given the detrimental effects of fumigants and conventional chemical nematicides, there is a growing interest in exploring biological nematicides as a promising alternative for pest control. In this study, we present data demonstrating the role of root volatiles in enhancing resistance against Meloidogyne incognita (M. incognita) in tobacco plants overexpressing NsCINS (NsCINS-OE). The NsCINS gene, derived from Nicotiana suaveolens, encodes a 1,8-cineole synthase induced by M. incognita infection and predominantly localized to the chloroplast. The roots of NsCINS-OE plants exhibited deterrent properties to infective second-stage juveniles (J2s) of M. incognita. Moreover, NsCINS-OE plants showed enhanced resistance against M. incognita, as evidenced by reduced gall numbers and egg mass counts compared to wild type (WT) plants. Notably, the emission of root volatiles from NsCINS-OE plants, including 1,8-cineole, alpha-terpineol, terpinene-4-ol, and furfural, was significantly higher than that of WT. In vitro assays confirmed that a mixture of commercially available volatile organic compounds (VOCs) had a deterrent effect on infective J2s. Furthermore, the natural root volatiles emitted by NsCINS-OE plants effectively enhanced tobacco's resistance against M. incognita. Our findings provide valuable insights into the role of NsCINS in volatile-based defense and highlight the potential of metabolic engineering of monoterpene synthase genes to control M. incognita by enhancing root volatile emissions.
