rnai effector diversity in nematodes.while rna interference (rnai) has been deployed to facilitate gene function studies in diverse helminths, parasitic nematodes appear variably susceptible. to test if this is due to inter-species differences in rnai effector complements, we performed a primary sequence similarity survey for orthologs of 77 caenorhabditis elegans rnai pathway proteins in 13 nematode species for which genomic or transcriptomic datasets were available, with all outputs subjected to domain-structure verification. our ...201121666793
Activity of Meadowfoam ( Limnanthes alba ) Seed Meal Glucolimnanthin Degradation Products against Soilborne Pathogens.Meadowfoam ( Limnanthes alba L.) is a herbaceous winter-spring annual grown as a commercial oilseed crop. The meal remaining after oil extraction from the seed contains up to 4% of the glucosinolate glucolimnanthin. Degradation of glucolimnanthin yields toxic breakdown products, and therefore the meal may have potential in the management of soilborne pathogens. To maximize the pest-suppressive potential of meadowfoam seed meal, it would be beneficial to know the toxicity of individual glucolimn ...201122142246
relationship of resistance to meloidogyne chitwoodi (race 2) and m. hapla in alfalfa.in the pacific northwest, alfalfa (medicago sativa) is host to two species of root-knot nematodes, including race 2 of the columbia root-knot nematode (meloidogyne chitwoodi) and the northern root-knot nematode (meloidogyne hapla). in addition to the damage caused to alfalfa itself by m. hapla, alfalfa's host status to both species leaves large numbers of nematodes available to damage rotation crops, of which potato is the most important. a nematode-resistant alfalfa germplasm release, w12sr2w1, ...201223483826
comprehensive transcriptome profiling in tomato reveals a role for glycosyltransferase in mi-mediated nematode resistance.root-knot nematode (rkn; meloidogyne spp.) is a major crop pathogen worldwide. effective resistance exists for a few plant species, including that conditioned by mi in tomato (solanum lycopersicum). we interrogated the root transcriptome of the resistant (mi+) and susceptible (mi-) cultivars 'motelle' and 'moneymaker,' respectively, during a time-course infection by the mi-susceptible rkn species meloidogyne incognita and the mi-resistant species meloidogyne hapla. in the absence of rkn infectio ...200717434994
opda has key role in regulating plant susceptibility to the root-knot nematode meloidogyne hapla in arabidopsis.jasmonic acid (ja) is a plant hormone that plays important roles in regulating plant defenses against necrotrophic pathogens and herbivorous insects, but the role of ja in mediating the plant responses to root-knot nematodes has been unclear. here we show that an application of either methyl jasmonate (meja) or the ja-mimic coronatine (cor) on arabidopsis significantly reduced the number of galls caused by the root-knot nematode meloidogyne hapla. interestingly, the meja-induced resistance was i ...201627822219
specific microbial attachment to root knot nematodes in suppressive soil.understanding the interactions of plant-parasitic nematodes with antagonistic soil microbes could provide opportunities for novel crop protection strategies. three arable soils were investigated for their suppressiveness against the root knot nematode meloidogyne hapla. for all three soils, m. hapla developed significantly fewer galls, egg masses, and eggs on tomato plants in unsterilized than in sterilized infested soil. egg numbers were reduced by up to 93%. this suggested suppression by soil ...201424532076
nematode-trapping fungi: evaluation of axenic healthy and galled roots as trap inducers.larvae of meloidogyne hapla chit. induced abundant trap formation in the predaceous fungus arthrobotrys conoides drechs. under similar aseptic conditions, neither healthy roots of lycopersicon esculentum mill, nor roots parasitized by the root-knot nematode induced traps.196414190248
interspecific and host-related gene expression patterns in nematode-trapping fungi.nematode-trapping fungi are soil-living fungi that capture and kill nematodes using special hyphal structures called traps. they display a large diversity of trapping mechanisms and differ in their host preferences. to provide insights into the genetic basis for this variation, we compared the transcriptome expressed by three species of nematode-trapping fungi (arthrobotrys oligospora, monacrosporium cionopagum and arthrobotrys dactyloides, which use adhesive nets, adhesive branches or constrict ...201425384908
biological control of meloidogyne hapla on alfalfa and tomato with the fungus meria coniospora.this study was to determine whether arthrobotrys flagrans, a. oligospora, and meria coniospora would control the root-knot nematode meloidogyne hapla on alfalfa and tomato. alfalfa seeds were coated with a fungus-rye powder in 2% cellulose and were planted in infested soil. three-week-old seedlings from seed treated with m. coniospora had 60% and 58% fewer galls in two experiments than did seedlings from untreated seeds. numbers of j2 in the soil were not reduced. plant growth did not improve. w ...198919287596
genomes of parasitic nematodes (meloidogyne hapla, meloidogyne incognita, ascaris suum and brugia malayi) have a reduced complement of small rna interference pathway genes: knockdown can reduce host infectivity of m. incognita.the discovery of rna interference (rnai) as an endogenous mechanism of gene regulation in a range of eukaryotes has resulted in its extensive use as a tool for functional genomic studies. it is important to study the mechanisms which underlie this phenomenon in different organisms, and in particular to understand details of the effectors that modulate its effectiveness. the aim of this study was to identify and compare genomic sequences encoding genes involved in the rnai pathway of four parasit ...201627126863
biological control of meloidogyne hapla using an antagonistic bacterium.we examined the efficacy of a bacterium for biocontrol of the root-knot nematode (rkn) meloidogyne hapla in carrot (daucus carota subsp. sativus) and tomato (solanum lycopersicum). among 542 bacterial isolates from various soils and plants, the highest nematode mortality was observed for treatments with isolate c1-7, which was identified as bacillus cereus based on cultural and morphological characteristics, the biolog program, and 16s rrna sequencing analyses. the population density and the nem ...201425289015
the diverse nematicidal properties and biocontrol efficacy of bacillus thuringiensis cry6a against the root-knot nematode meloidogyne hapla.cry6a toxin from bacillus thuringiensis is a representative nematicidal crystal protein with a variety of nematicidal properties to free-living nematode caenorhabditis elegans. cry6a shares very low homology and different structure with cry5b, another representative nematicidal crystal protein, and probably acts in a distinct pathway. all these strongly indicate that cry6a toxin is likely a potent candidate for nematicide. the present study dealt with global investigation to determine the detrim ...201525556591
in vitro uptake of 140 kda bacillus thuringiensis nematicidal crystal proteins by the second stage juvenile of meloidogyne hapla.plant-parasitic nematodes (ppns) are piercing/sucking pests, which cause severe damage to crops worldwide, and are difficult to control. the cyst and root-knot nematodes (rkn) are sedentary endoparasites that develop specialized multinucleate feeding structures from the plant cells called syncytia or giant cells respectively. within these structures the nematodes produce feeding tubes, which act as molecular sieves with exclusion limits. for example, heterodera schachtii is reportedly unable to ...201222737212
