Relative DNA Content and Chromosomal Relationships of some Meloidogyne, Heterodera, and Meloidodera spp. (Nematoda: Heteroderidae).

چکیده
The relative DNA content of hypodermal nuclei of preparasitic, 2nd-stage larvae was determined cytophotometrically in 19 populations belonging to 13 species of Meloidogyne, Heterodera and Meloidodera. In Meloidogyne hapla, M. arenaria, M. incognita and M. javanica, total DNA content per nucleus is proportional to their chromosome number, indicating that chromosomal forms with high chromosome numbers are truly polyploid. M. graminicola, M. grarninis and M. ottersoni have a DNA content per chromosome significantly lower than that of the other Meloidogyne species. Within Heterodera, species with high chromosome numbers have proportionally higher DNA content, indicating again polyploidy. DNA content per chromosome in Meloidogyne is one third that of Heterodera and one haft that of Meloidodera floridensis. The karyotypic relationships of the three genera are still not clearly understood.

Phylogenetic relationships within the cyst-forming nematodes (Nematoda, Heteroderidae) based on analysis of sequences from the ITS regions of ribosomal DNA.
The ITS1, ITS2, and 5.8S gene sequences of nuclear ribosomal DNA from 40 taxa of the family Heteroderidae (including the genera Afenestrata, Cactodera, Heterodera, Globodera, Punctodera, Meloidodera, Cryphodera, and Thecavermiculatus) were sequenced and analyzed. The ITS regions displayed high levels of sequence divergence within Heteroderinae and compared to outgroup taxa. Unlike recent findin...

The body wall cuticle of adult females of Meloidodera charis, Atolodera lonicerae, and Sarisodera hydrophila is examined by transmission electron and light microscopy for comparison with Heterodera schachtii and previous observations of additional species of Heterodera, Globodera, and Punctodera. The cuticle of M. charis is least complex, consisting of layers A, B, C (with A outermost), and var...
متن کاملGametogenesis and Reproduction of Meloidogyne graminis and M. ottersoni (Nematoda: Heteroderidae).
Oogenesis and spermatogenesis of seven populations of Meloidogyne graminis and one population of M. ottersoni (formerly Hypsoperine spp.) were of the meiotic type. When males were abundant, reproduction was by amphirnixis. In most greenhouse cultures, however, males were rare and reproduction was by meiotic parthenogenesis. M. graminis and M. ottersoni are closely related to each other and to M...
متن کاملA survey of the Cape Floristic Region of South Africa for the presence of cyst nematodes (Nematoda: Heteroderidae).
A survey was performed to detect the presence of cyst nematodes in the Cape Floristic Region of South Africa. Soil was collected in the rhizosphere of the dominant plant species within blocks of indigenous vegetation and cysts were extracted from them. A total of 81 blocks of indigenous vegetation were sampled as described. Cysts were detected in 7 of these samples, representing 6 different veg...

Atalodera ucri, Wouts and Sher, 1971, and A. lonicerae, (Wouts, 1973) Luc et al., 1978, induce similar multinucleate syncytia in roots of golden bush and honeysuckle, respectively. The syncytium is initiated in the cortex; as it expands, it includes several partially delimited syncytial units and distorts vascular tissue. Outer walls of the syncytium are relatively smooth and thickest near the ...
