The invention discloses a meloidogyne graminicola translation elongation factor Mg-eFF1A and the application thereof to the control of plant diseases. A genomic sequence of the Mg-eFF1A is as shown inSEQ ID NO.1, and an amino acid sequence is as shown in SEQ ID NO.2. The Mg-eFF1A is firstly discovered, the fact that the Mg-eFF1A can be secreted to the exterior of body of meloidogyne graminicola,and the Mg-eFF1A can activate an immune system of a host during invasion of plant-parasitic nematodes, induce the fundamental immune response of paddies and disease resistance to pathogen, activate PTI immune response, such as pathogenesis-related gene expression, callose accumulation and MAP kinase phosphorylation, of the paddies, and enhance the resistance of the paddies to meloidogyne graminicola and magnaporthe grisea. In addition, researches find that the Mg-eFF1A can induce plant OsCERK1 expression during invasion of the meloidogyne graminicola, and the researches open a direction and strategy with huge potential for the prevention and control of the plant-parasitic nematodes.
