  • I am interested in a broad view of interactions among insect-parasitic nematode, soil microbe, insect, and plant. Understanding those interactions can contribute to the development of pest management in agriculture. Recently, I am exploring that a saprophytic fungus may involve in a trophic interaction between entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) and their preys and that small-molecule pheromones from EPNs play an important role for communication of inter/intra-specific nematode species.
