Heterodera mediterranea completes embryogenic development in 15-18 days at 24 +/- 2 C. On olive and pistachio seedlings the postembryogenic development was completed in 42-50 days at 24-30 C. Juveniles and adults have semiendoparasitic habits and do not penetrate completely into the root tissue. This cyst forming nematode has been detected only on Olea europaea, Pistacia lentiscus, and P. vera....

Abstract The ryegrass cyst nematode, Heterodera mani , is reported from Western Australia for the first time. Cysts were recovered soil samples collected on a broadacre cropping property near town of Esperance. production area dominated by cereal/oilseed rotation and species annual ( Lolium rigidum ) common weed issue in these paddocks. Morphometrics cysts second stage juveniles (J2s) Australia...

Metyrapone, an inhibitor of steroid synthesis, affected the survival and rate of development of Heterodera glycines. Metyrapone in aqueous tartaric acid solvent influenced sex ratios. The effect on sex ratios was mediated through the host, whereas the effect on survival was apparently effected directly. Tartaric acid increased larval penetration of soybean roots.

The first internally transcribed spacer region (ITS1) from cyst nematode species (Heteroderidae) was compared by nucleotide sequencing and PCR-RFLP. European, Asian, and North American isolates of five heterodefid species were examined to assess intraspecific variation. PCR-RFLP patterns of amplified ITS1 DNA from pea cyst nematode, Heterodera goettingiana, from Northern Ireland were identical ...

The taxonomically uncharacterized nematophagous fungus ARF18, which parasitizes cysts, juveniles, and adults of the soybean cyst nematode (Heterodera glycines), was proposed as a nematode biological control agent in 1991. A 46.3-Mb draft genome sequence of this fungus is presented, and a tentative taxonomic identification as a novel species of Brachyphoris is proposed.

A technique was developed in the early 1980's for recovery and quantification of Heterodera glycines (soybean cyst nematode) cysts from soil and soybean roots. Cysts were collected on sieves and counted on lincd filter paper. This technique could be applied to other particles of similar dimension and density.

Occurrence of cyst nematode Heterodera daverti Wouts and Sturhan 1978 (Wouts & 1978) is reported from Australia for the first time. Cysts were recovered soil samples collected a hop farm in Merriang, Victoria. Morphological morphometric characteristics cysts second stage juveniles match those described this species other parts world. Identification was further supported by molecular evidence th...
