Abstract
The spatio-temporal expression pattern of a gene provides important indications to better understand its biological function. In situ hybridization (ISH) uses a labeled complementary single-stranded RNA or DNA probe to localize gene transcripts in a whole organism, a whole organ or a section of tissue. We adapted the ISH technique to the plant parasite Meloidogyne spp. (root-knot nematode) to visualize RNAs both in free-living preparasitic juveniles and in parasitic stages settled in the plant tissues. We describe each step of the probe synthesis, digoxigenin (DIG) labeling, nematode extraction from plant tissue, and ISH procedure.

Background
So far, the stable transformation of plant-parasitic nematode(s) has not been successful. ISH enables the analysis of spatio-temporal gene expression in vivo in whole-mount Meloidogyne spp. nematodes. These root-knot nematodes hatch in the soil as microscopic vermiform juveniles (J2) and infect host plant roots. J2s penetrate the root and migrate to the root vascular cylinder cells. The juveniles settle in the root and develop into J3 and J4 parasitic juveniles that induce the differentiation specialized feeding cells. The nematode eventually develops into a pear-shaped female that will release hundreds of eggs on the root surface. Here, we report a detailed protocol to detect single RNA molecules in preparasitic whole mount J2s and parasitic stages. ISH on parasitic stages requires an additional procedure the day before extraction of the nematodes from infected roots. We describe the detection of transcripts using digoxigenin (DIG)-labeled cDNA probes in nematode whole mount tissues.
