Lab groups tend to operate as independent units that stay focused on highly specialized areas. This reality combined with the daily, high-intensity routine of laboratory life can make you feel isolated from the rest of the science community.

Nematode infection distorts root and shoot structure, compromises the plant´s ability to absorb nutrients from soil, and eventually reduces crop yield.
