phenol accumulation related to resistance in tomato to infection by root-knot and lesion nematodes.host-parasite relationships of meloidogyne incognita acrita and pratylenchus penetrans were compared on three closely related cultivars of tomato: 'nemared', resistant to root-knot nematodes; 'hawaii 7153', moderately resistant; and 'b-5', susceptible. root-knot nematode larvae induced typical galls on the roots of b-5; larvae that entered nemared were walled-off by necrotic cells; both reactions occurred in hawaii 7153. lesion nematodes caused surface lesions which were initially similar on all ...197319319346
theratromyxa weberi, an amoeba predatory on plant-parasitic nematodes.theratromyxa weberi, an amoeba, was isolated and cultured in the laboratory to determine the physical conditions that influence its predation on plant parasitic nematodes. in greenhouse tests, the amoeba was a poor biological control agent of the root-knot nematode, meloidogyne incognita.197319319347
resistance to meloidogyne hapla in peanut.two hundred thirty-five cultivated varieties, breeding lines and plant introductions of arachis hypogaea and 12 accessions of wild arachis spp. were tested for resistance to meloidogyne hapla. eight of the cultivated peanut lines were only moderately susceptible and four of the wild peanuts exhibited resistance. no resistance-breaking m. hapla populations were found among 10 geographical isolates tested.197319319351
fine structure of cephalic sense organs in meloidogyne incognita males.amphids, and the cephalic and labial papillae of meloidogyne incognita males were examined in detail by electron microscopy. each amphid basically consists of an amphidial gland, a nerve bundle and an amphidial duct. the gland is a broad microvillous organ with a narrow anterior process, which is closely associated with the amphidial duct. a posterior process of the gland contains secretory organelles and proceeds along the esophagus with the lateral cephalic nerve bundle. the nerve bundle penet ...197319319352
resistance of cotton to the root-knot nematode, meloidogyne incognita.cotton plants resistant to meloidogyne incognita had roots characterized by fewer and smaller galls, and females that produced fewer egg masses containing fewer eggs than did susceptible plants. many galls on resistant roots contained no nematodes at the time of examination. penetration of the resistant cultivar was equal to that of the susceptible cultivar and independent of the number of nematodes in the inoculum. fewer nematodes penetrated resistant or susceptible plants with eight leaves tha ...197419319358
correlation of tobacco yield, value, and root-knot index with early-to-midseason, and postharvest meloidogyne population densities.certain nematicidal treatments for the control of root knot of tobacco in six field experiments in north carolina were used to determine early, midseason, and postharvest densities of eggs and larvae of meloidogyne spp., postharvest root-knot indices, and crop yield and value. various statistical correlations showed that population densities determined 6-8 wk after transplanting were more indicative of treatment effectiveness than postharvest densities. logarithmic transformation of early and mi ...197419319371
suppression of embryogenesis and hatching in meloidogyne javanica by thermal stress.embryogenes is and hatching of eggs of meloidogyne javanica were suppressed by brief heat treatment (46 c for 10 min). the period of suppression or arrested development differs according to the stage of development of the nematode when heat treatment is applied. the effect on hatching is much more pronounced than on embryogenesis.197419319374
symptomless resistance of alfalfa to meloidogyne incognita acrita.penetration, development and migration of the cotton root-knot nematode, meloidogyne incognita acrita, in resistant and susceptible alfalfa varieties was compared. larvae entered both resistant and susceptible plants in approximately the same numbers. after 3 to 4 days, the number of larvae in resistant roots decreased sharply until at 7 days fewer than 5 larvae/seedling and no nematode development could be found. in susceptible roots, larvae became sedentary and developed normally; egg producti ...197019322284
resistance of cucumis spp. to the root-knot nematode, meloidogyne incognita acrita.the nature of resistance in cucumis ficifolius and c. metuliferus to the root-knot nematode, meloidogyne incognita acrita, was studied under greenhouse conditions. although as many larvae penetrated the roots of these species as those of the susceptible c. melo, few developed to the adult female stage. resistance in c. ficifolius and c. metuliferus was associated with hindrance of larval development beyond the second stage, delayed development of larvae to adults and stimulation toward maleness. ...197019322292

'manzanillo' olive is considered highly tolerant to m. javanica. 'ascolano' and 'manzanillo' olive trees were highly susceptible to m. incognita (kofoid &white) chi ...196919325664
effect of meloidogyne incognita, m. hapla, and m. javanica on the severity of fusarium wilt of chrysanthemum.rooted cuttings of chrysanthemum morifolium 'yellow delaware' (fusarium-susceptible) and 'white iceberg' (fusarium-resistant) were greenhouse-grown in: (i) non-infested soil; (ii) soil infested with fusarium oxysporum alone; (iii) soil infested with meloidogyne incognita, m. javanica or m. hapla; and (iv) each nematode separately plus the fungus. all nematode species infected roots of both cultivars and caused characteristic root-knot symptoms but did not appreciably affect growth meassured by p ...196919325666
interrelationships between root-nodule bacteria, plant-parasitic nematodes and their leguminous host.the effect of infection by meloidogyne javanica and heterodera trifolii on number, size, structure and efficiency of nodules formed by rhizobiurn trifolii on white clover roots was investigated. introduction of nematodes one week before, simultaneously, or one week following inoculation with rhizobium bacteria did not hinder nodule formation. nodule size did not differ between nematode-infected and nematode-free plants. formation of nodules on m. javanica galls and gall formation on the nodules ...196919325677
the histochemical localization of several enzymes of soybeans infected with the root-knot nematode meloidogyne incognita acrita.the sites of activity of alkaline phosphatase, acid phosphatase, esterase, peroxidase, adenosine triphosphatase, and cytochrome oxidase were demonstrated histochemically in fresh sections of 'lee' soybeans infected by the root-knot nematode meloidogyne incognita acrita. each of the six enzymes was more active at the sites of infection than in adjacent non-infected tissue. during the early stages of infection, an increase in enzyme activity was observed in several cells in the proximity of the li ...196919325688
assignment of aegilops variabilis eig chromosomes and translocations carrying resistance to nematodes in wheat.the allotetraploid species aegilops variabilis eig (2n = 28, uusvsv) belongs to the tribe triticeae and is closely related to wheat. one accession, ae. variabilis no. 1, was found to be resistant to the cereal cyst nematode (ccn) and the root-knot nematode (rkn). as the genetic variability for resistance to those two pests is limited within wheat, this accession was crossed to bread wheat. previous work enabled the development of two addition lines and two translocation lines carrying resistance ...200919370089
the genomes of root-knot nematodes.plant-parasitic nematodes are the most destructive group of plant pathogens worldwide and are extremely challenging to control. the recent completion of two root-knot nematode genomes opens the way for a comparative genomics approach to elucidate the success of these parasites. sequencing revealed that meloidogyne hapla, a diploid that reproduces by facultative, meiotic parthenogenesis, encodes approximately 14,200 genes in a compact, 54 mpb genome. indeed, this is the smallest metazoan genome c ...200919400640
differing requirements for flavonoids during the formation of lateral roots, nodules and root knot nematode galls in medicago truncatula.* in this study, we tested whether the organogenesis of symbiotic root nodules, lateral roots and root galls induced by parasitic root knot nematodes (meloidogyne javanica) was regulated by the presence of flavonoids in the roots of medicago truncatula. flavonoids accumulate in all three types of root organ, and have been hypothesized previously to be required for secondary root organogenesis because of their potential role as auxin transport regulators. * using rna interference to silence the f ...200919402878
molecular and morphological characterization of an unusual meloidogyne arenaria population from traveler's tree, ravenala madagascariensis.an unusual variant of meloidogyne arenaria was discovered on roots of a traveler's tree (ravenala madagascariensis) intended for display at a public arboretum in pennsylvania. the population aroused curiosity by the lack of visible galling on the roots of the infected plant, and the female vulval region was typically surrounded by egg sacs. most morphometrics of the population fit within the ranges reported for m. arenaria, with a mosaic of features in common with either m. platani or other trop ...200819440257
alternate row placement is ineffective for cultural control of meloidogyne incognita in cotton.the objective of this study was to determine if planting cotton into the space between the previous year's rows reduces crop loss due to meloidogyne incognita compared to planting in the same row every year. row placement had a significant (p </= 0.05) effect on nematode population levels only on 8 july 2005. plots receiving 1,3-dichloropropene plus aldicarb had lower nematode population levels than non-fumigated plots on 24 may and 8 july in 2005, but not in 2004. the effect of nematicide treat ...200819440259
ecological relationships between meloidogyne spartinae and salt marsh grasses in connecticut.healthy specimens of selected grasses were collected from salt marshes and grown in the greenhouse. plants were inoculated with meloidogyne spartinae to determine the host range of this nematode. after 12 weeks, spartina alterniflora plants formed root galls in response to infection and increased m. spartinae populations. spartina patens, spartina cynosuroides, juncus gerardii and distichlis spicata were non-hosts. in order to determine the natural distribution of m. spartinae in dieback areas, ...200819440262

phenotypic and molecular evaluation of cotton hairy roots as a model system for studying nematode resistance.agrobacterium rhizogenes-induced cotton (gossypium hirsutum l.) hairy roots were evaluated as a model system for studying molecular cotton-nematode interactions. hairy root cultures were developed from the root-knot nematode (rkn) (meloidogyne incognita [kofoid and white] chitwood, race 3)-resistant breeding line m315 and from the reniform nematode (rn) (rotylenchulus reniformis linford & oliveira)-resistant accession gb713 (g. barbadense l.) and compared to a nematode-susceptible culture derive ...200919578854
the role of different inoculum levels of meloidogyne javanica juveniles on nematode reproduction and host response of peanut plant.a pot experiment was conducted to determine the influence of three of inoculum levels (1000, 2000 and 3000 j2 pot(-1)) of meloidogyne javanica on nematode reproduction and host response of peanut plant cv. giza 4 under greenhouse conditions at 30 +/- 5 degrees c. in general, nematode reproduction and host damage were both affected by the initial inoculum levels. the greater reduction percentage of plant fresh (57.7%), shoot dry (38.82) and pods weights (52.59%) and nodules numbers (73.33%) were ...200919580011
tobacco rattle virus mediates gene silencing in a plant parasitic root-knot nematode.root-knot nematodes (rkns) are sedentary biotrophic parasites that induce the differentiation of root cells into feeding cells that provide the nematodes with the nutrients necessary for their development. the development of new control methods against rkns relies greatly on the functional analysis of genes that are crucial for the development of the pathogen or the success of parasitism. in the absence of genetic transformation, rna interference (rnai) allows for phenotype analysis of nematode ...200919625337
short interfering rna-mediated gene silencing in globodera pallida and meloidogyne incognita infective stage juveniles.the analysis of gene function through rna interference (rnai)-based reverse genetics in plant parasitic nematodes (ppns) remains inexplicably reliant on the use of long double-stranded rna (dsrna) silencing triggers; a practice inherently disadvantageous due to the introduction of superfluous dsrna sequence, increasing chances of aberrant or off-target gene silencing through interactions between nascent short interfering rnas (sirnas) and non-cognate mrna targets. recently, we have shown that no ...201019651131
cytoskeleton reorganization, a key process in root-knot nematode-induced giant cell ontogenesis.root-knot nematodes are plant parasitic worms that establish and maintain an intimate relationship with their host plants. rkn induce the redifferentiation of root cells into multinucleate and hypertrophied giant cells essential for nematode growth and reproduction. major rearrangements of the cytoskeleton occur during giant cell formation. we characterized the first plant candidate genes implicated in giant cell actin and microtubule cytoskeleton reorganization. we showed previously that formin ...200819704567
modular architecture and evolution of the map-1 gene family in the root-knot nematode meloidogyne incognita.in eukaryotes, repeat proteins (i.e. proteins that contain a tandem arrangement of repeated structural elements) are often considered as an extra source of variability, and gains and losses of repeats may be an important force driving the evolution and diversification of such proteins, that could allow fast adaptation to new environments. here, we report genomic sequences of the map-1 protein family from of the asexual, plant-parasitic nematode meloidogyne incognita. the encoded proteins exhibit ...200919787376
actin-depolymerizing factor2-mediated actin dynamics are essential for root-knot nematode infection of arabidopsis.reorganization of the actin and microtubule networks is known to occur in targeted vascular parenchymal root cells upon infection with the nematode meloidogyne incognita. here, we show that actin-depolymerizing factor (adf) is upregulated in the giant feeding cells of arabidopsis thaliana that develop upon nematode infection and that knockdown of a specific adf isotype inhibits nematode proliferation. analysis of the levels of transcript and the localization of seven adf genes shows that five ar ...200919794115
determination of preferred ph for root-knot nematode aggregation using pluronic f-127 gel.root-knot nematodes (meloidogyne spp.) are obligate endoparasites of a wide range of plant species. the infective stage is attracted strongly to and enters host roots at the zone of elongation, but the compounds responsible for this attraction have not been identified. we developed a simple assay to investigate nematode response to chemical gradients that uses pluronic f-127, a synthetic block copolymer that, as a 23% aqueous solution, forms a liquid at low temperature and a gel at room temperat ...200919838866
