DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0275342
Abstract: The entomopathogenic nematode, Heterorhabditis indica, is a popular biocontrol agent of high commercial significance. It possesses tremendous genetic architecture to survive desiccation stress by undergoing anhydrobiosis to increase its lifespan—an attribute exploited in the formulation… read more here.
