text: Yo, in my path as a Plant Pathology/Nematology pro
  Major advancements in nematode study, yo, here's how it goes
  These soilborne creatures, often overlooked, you see
  But they got a big impact, can't deny their legacy
  
  Root-knot nematodes, Meloidogyne species to be precise
  They attack major crops, yo, that ain't nice
  Thousands of non-crop plants, they don't discriminate
  Plant pathogens, widespread, that's their fate
  
  Discovery of nematicides, a major breakthrough
  Ectoparasitic forms, yo, they knew what to do
  Disease complexes, nematodes as virus vectors
  Host resistance development, yo, that's a sector
  
  New technologies, advancing the research game
  Traditional and molecular systematics, they ain't the same
  Caenorhabditis elegans, molecular genetics on the rise
  General nematological research, yo, it's no surprise
  
  Genetics of parasitism, a focus that's strong
  Molecular tools, developing host resistance, that's the song
  Ecological and quantitative facets, they got it all
  Soil-biology-ecology, integrated management, stand tall
  
  Education and international programs, yo, facing changes and strife
  Support for nematology, yo, it's a challenging life
