In Arabidopsis, non-expressor of pathogenesis related genes-1,  NPR1  has been shown to be a positive regulator of the salicylic acid controlled systemic acquired resistance pathway and modulates the cross talk between SA and JA signaling. Transgenic plants expressing  AtNPR1  constitutively exhibited resistance against pathogens as well as herbivory. In the present study, tobacco transgenic plants expressing  AtNPR1  were studied further for their response to infection by the sedentary endoparasitic root knot nematode,  Meloidogyne incognita . Transgenic plants showed enhanced resistance against the root-knot nematode infection. Prominent differences in the shoot and root weights of wild type and transgenic plants were observed post-inoculation with  M. incognita . This was associated with a decrease in the number of root galls and egg masses in transgenic plants compared to WT. The transgenic plants also showed constitutive and induced expression of some PR protein genes, when challenged with  M. incognita .
