parasitism of beta vulgaris by meloidogyne hapla and heterodera schachtii alone and in combination.interrelationships of meloidogyne hapla and heterodera schachtii in combinations of several population levels and different inoculation periods were studied. results indicated suppression of gall development of m. hapla in any treatment in which inoculations of h. schachtii preceded those of m. hapla by 10 days. this interrelationship was characterized by amensalism with m. hapla serving as an amensat and h. schachtii serving as an inhibitor. conversely, when inoculations of m. hapla preceded h. ...197619308223
self-interactions of meloidogyne hapla and of heterodera schachtii on beta vulgaris.double inoculations of sugar beet with larvae of meloidogyne hapla resulted in a higher galling incidence in only one treatment than did a single inoculation using the same number of larvae. double inoculations with larvae of heterodera schachtii, however, resulted in three- to five-fold more cysts in most cases than did single inoculations using the same number of larvae. in general, plants died more quickly after double inoculations than after single inoculations of the same total number of ei ...197619308195
a putative nuclear growth factor-like globular nematode specific protein.expressed sequence tags (ests) are an effective approach for discovery of novel genes. in the current study, approximately 250 ests of the cattle parasitic nematode setaria digitata were examined and a cdna clone identified whose coding sequence could not be functionally annotated by searching over publicly available genome, protein, est and sts databases. here, we report the extensive characterization of this orf (up) and its homologues using a bioinformatic approach. uncharacterized protein (s ...200919759810
proteomic and bioinformatic analysis of the root-knot nematode meloidogyne hapla: the basis for plant parasitism.on the basis of the complete genome sequence of the root-knot nematode melodogyne hapla, we have deduced and annotated the entire proteome of this plant-parasite to create a database of 14,420 proteins. we have made this database, termed happep3, available from the superfamily repository of model organism proteomes (http://supfam.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/superfamily). to experimentally confirm the happep3 assignments using proteomics, we applied a data-independent lc/ms(e) analysis to m. hapla protein ...201020804128
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
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
