系统发育研究表明，线虫对植物的寄生至少在三个不同的情况下是独立发生的。我们认为，水平基因转移在每一次植物寄生的进化中都发挥了关键作用。此外，我们讨论的证据表明，这一过程推动了线虫内其他生命策略的进化，而且在线虫门中可能比人们通常认为的要普遍得多。我们回顾了最近的文献，表明水平的基因转移到线虫发生了从细菌和真菌。
Phylogenetic studies have shown that parasitism of plants by nematodes has arisen independently on at least three separate occasions. We argue that horizontal gene transfer has played a critical role in the evolution of plant parasitism on each occasion. In addition, we discuss evidence that suggests this process has driven the evolution of other life strategies within the Nematoda and that it may be considerably more common within the Phylum than commonly thought. We review recent literature that shows horizontal gene transfer to nematodes has occurred from both bacteria and fungi.
