during a survey on the identification of plant-parasitic nematodes associated with walnut in sanandej region (kurdistan province, western iran), a population of paratylenchus labiosus was collected and identified morphologically. description, illustrations and morphometrics of the species are given and comparisons are made between it and some related species. paratylenchus labiosus comes more c...

Plant-parasitic nematodes were found in 4 of the 12 clades of phylum Nematoda. These nematodes in different clades may have originated independently from their free-living fungivorous ancestors. However, the exact evolutionary process of these parasites is unclear. Here, we sequenced the genome sequence of a migratory plant nematode, Ditylenchus destructor We performed comparative genomics amon...

A field experiment was conducted to investigate the soil application of two Rhizobacteria, (MTCC and Pf-5) and urea treatments, separately and in combination on free living and plant parasitic nematodes. All the treatments significantly decreased the number of plant-parasitic nematodes with the increasing of plant growth. Both Rhizobacteria and urea were separately effective in suppressing plan...

Pratylenchus neglectus reduced the growth of alfalfa cultivars in greenhouse and growth chamber studies. Inocula (1,000, 5,000 and 10,000 nematodes per plant) reduced shoot dry weights of Ranger by 16, 27, and 40%, of Lahontan by 16, 32, and 40%, and of Nevada Synthetic XX (Nev Syn XX) by 18, 26, and 37%, respectively, at 26 ñ 2 C. Pratylenchus neglectus at 1,000 nematodes per plant reduced Ran...

Organic amendments have been widely used for management of plant-parasitic nematodes. Relatively rapid declines in nematode population levels may occur when decomposing materials release toxic compounds, while longer-term effects might include increases in nematode antagonists. Improved crop nutrition and plant growth following amendment use may lead to tolerance of plant-parasitic nematodes. R...

plant parasitic nematodes with various populations have found in the soil around the roots of plants. due to the biologic value of landscape and the importance of plant parasitic nematodes in the reduction of the growth of landscape plants; the study of identification, abundance and distribution of plant-parasitic nematodes in landscape of tehran city, iran was in interest. in order to dentific...

Restrictions on the use of conventional nematicides have increased the need for new methods of managing plant-parasitic nematodes. Consequently, nematode-antagonistic microbes, and active compounds produced by such organisms, are being explored as potential additions to management practices. Programs in this area at the USDA Agricultural Research Service investigate applied biocontrol agents, n...

Root-knot nematodes and cyst nematodes are obligate, biotrophic pathogens of numerous plant species. These organisms cause dramatic changes in the morphology and physiology of their hosts. The molecular characterization of induced plant genes has provided insight into the plant processes that are usurped by nematodes as they establish their specialized feeding cells. Recently, several gene prod...

Nuclear receptors (NRs) are a diverse class of transcription factors, which are involved in regulating a large number of physiological events in metazoans. However, the function of NRs is poorly understood in plant-parasitic nematodes. Here, members of the NR1J+K group of NRs in nematodes, including the free-living and plant parasites, were examined and phylogenetically analyzed. We found that ...
