Although some reports have demonstrated that receptor-like kinase, NBS–LRR, protein kinase, LRR receptor, and F-box gene families are involved in resistance to pathogen infection [13, 35–37], to the best of our knowledge, only NBS–LRR genes conferred resistance to nematode infection [16, 38, 39]. Here, WEE1 is linked to Nematoda infectious disease.
