fmrfamide-like peptides in root knot nematodes and their potential role in nematode physiology.	fmrfamide-like peptides (flps) are a diverse group of neuropeptides that are expressed abundantly in nematodes. they exert potent physiological effects on locomotory, feeding and reproductive musculature and also act as neuromodulators. however, little is known about the specific expression patterns and functions of individual peptides. the current study employed rapid amplification of cdna ends-polymerase chain reaction (race-pcr) to characterize flp genes from infective juveniles of the root k ...	2010	19843350
first record of the root knot nematode, <i>meloidogyne</i> <i>minor</i> in new zealand with description, sequencing information and key to known species of <i>meloidogyne</i> in new zealand.	meloidogyne minor karssen et al. 2004 was collected from perennial ryegrass (lolium perenne l.) growing in a sports ground in christchurch, new zealand. this is a new record for m. minor, the first report of this nematode occurring in new zealand, and the second report from the southern hemisphere (after chile). in general, the new zealand isolate of m. minor corresponds well to the descriptions of m. minor given by karssen et al. (2004). the new zealand isolate is characterized by having a fema ...	2017	28187538
