Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Franklin published her book on cyst nematodes in 1951, the cyst nematodes were already known as serious pests of brassicas, cereals, potatoes and sugar beets. However, at that time this group of nematode, with about 12 species, was considered tobe largely temperate in distribu tion. Now a total of 105 species (including those that are considered as synonyms or species inquirende by some or all) within six genera of cyst nematodes have been described from temperate, tropical, and subtropical regions and at least five species are important constraints to crop produc tion in tropical agriculture. The previous impression of localization of cyst nematodes in the temperate region was seemingly an artifact due to a greater concentration of nematologists in the temperate regions. Based on my own experience of working in several Asian and African countries, I believe that many more undescribed species are present in the tropical countries of Asia and Africa, and probably in other tropical regions. Most growers, extension workers, and research managers in these regions are still not aware of the possible harm of presence of these nematodes in their agricultural soils. The cyst nematodes are perhaps smaller than the smallest available computer chip but they are very well programmed to survive and pro pagate despite severe hardships. These nematodes are very selective in their choice of food; about 50% of known species are parasites of plants mainly in the families Poaceae and Fabaceae.

Book Genomics and Molecular Biology Approaches to Plant parasitic Nematode Biology and Parasitism

Download or read book Genomics and Molecular Biology Approaches to Plant parasitic Nematode Biology and Parasitism written by Axel Armin Elling and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The plant-parasitic nematodes Pratylenchus penetrans and Heterodera glycines are of major economic importance worldwide. Here, we present a survey of over 1,900 expressed sequence tags (ESTs) for P. penetrans and of almost 22,000 ESTs for H. glycines. Furthermore, we conducted microarray expression profiling for over 6,800 H. glycines genes throughout the life cycle. We identified over 600 H. glycines genes that encode secretory proteins and provide microarray data for all known H. glycines parasitism genes as well as for H. glycines genes with similarity to known plant and microbe sequences. In order to extend these studies, we have identified soybean and Phytophthora sojae sequences that consistently cross-hybridize in microarray analyses with probes derived from H. glycines mRNA and identified H. glycines ESTs potentially responsible for this cross-hybridization. The impact of these findings on our understanding of host-parasite relationships is discussed. Furthermore, we showed that H. glycines parasitism proteins with nuclear localization signals are imported into plant cell nuclei. Using the same approach, we also confirmed the predicted nuclear localization for the cyst nematode-responsive soybean transcription factor GmEREBP1.

Book Advances in Molecular Plant Nematology

Download or read book Advances in Molecular Plant Nematology written by F. Lamberti and published by Springer. This book was released on 1994-11-30 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plant parasitic nematodes are a main pest to crops. For ex am pie, the root-knot nematodes belonging to the genus Meloidogyne are worldwide in their distribution and attack almost every type of crop, causing considerable losses of yield and affecting quality of produce. The cyst nematodes within the genera Globodera and Heterodera constitute a major group of plant pathogens in many countries throughout the world, suppressing yields of potato, sugar beet, soybean and cereals. Several nematodes such as longidorids and trichodorids are implicated in the transmission of numerous plant viruses. Many others cause constraints to agricultural production either locally or on large areas. However, despite their economic importance (they account for worldwide crop reduction in excess of 10%), plant parasitic nematodes are still poorly understood, because most of them are obligate parasites of roots. Environmental concerns over the agricultural use of pesticides demand the development of alternative measures to control them. To achieve environmentally sound control, knowledge of the basic biology of nematodes must be expanded. Important research areas include understanding the molecular bases for pathogenicity, the molecular mechanisms of the host parasite interactions and the genetic bases for population fluctuations. The workshop has, for the first time, brought together an international group of researchers using molecular approaches to study plant parasitic nematodes and their host responses.

Book Cellular and Molecular Aspects of Plant Nematode Interactions

Download or read book Cellular and Molecular Aspects of Plant Nematode Interactions written by C. Fenoll and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1992 a Concerted Action Programme (CAP) was initiated by Peter Sijmons with the purpose of intensifying collaborations between 16 European laboratories working on plant-parasitic nematodes. The four-year programme entitled `Resistance mechanisms against plant-parasitic nematodes' focused on molecular aspects of the interaction between sedentary nematodes and plants on the model system Arabidopsis and on novel resistance strategies. Funding was provided mainly for exchange visits between collaborating laboratories and for the organization of annual meetings. During the last annual meeting which was held in May 1996 in Toledo, Spain, Carmen Fenoll initiated the production of this volume. The book presents a series of up-to-date reviews, each written by one of the participating laboratories, which include the scientific progress achieved in the frame of this CAP but are by no means limited in scope to this work.

Download or read book Management of Plant parasitic Nematodes Using Gene Manipulation and Biological Nematicides Biological Nematicides written by Weasam Adnan Radhi Aljaafri and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soybean cyst nematode (H. glycines), reniform nematode (R. reniformis), and Root-Knot nematode (M. incognita) are three damaging plant-parasitic nematodes on soybean. Syntaxin proteins are involved in the process of membrane fusion. T wo G. max syntaxin genes (Gm-SYP22-1, and Gm-SYP22-2) that were similar in amino acid composition have been found to contribute to the ability of Glycine max to defend itself from infection by the plant parasitic nematode Heterodera glycines. Syntaxin genes SYP22-1 and SYP22-2 were identified to be expressed specifically in syncytia undergoing a resistant reaction to H. glycines parasitism. The Gm-SYP22-1 and Gm-SYP22-2 genes were isolated by molecular means and genetically engineered in G. max [Williams 82/PI 518671], a genotype typically susceptible to H. glycines parasitism. Genetically engineered control plants in G. max [Williams 82/PI 518671] that lack the overexpression of Gm-SYP22-1 or Gm-SYP22-2 genes were produced to serve as a comparison. The transgenic Gm-SYP22- 1 or Gm-SYP22-2 overexpression lines with their pRAP15 control have then been infected with H. glycines. In another study, tests include three separate tests in 2015 and one test in 2016 that evaluated different biological products, application rates and product combinations as seed treatments on soybeans. Results collected from soybean plants that were infested with either H. glycines, M. incognita or R. reniformis indicated that many of these biological products significantly reduced the nematode reproduction compared to control. The number of cyst, juveniles, and eggs recovered were significantly reduced compared with the non-treated control. Other findings identified Burkholderia renojensis variant 2 (BioST Nematicide) as being a more consistent nematicide candidate when referencing data from all nematodes and rate ranges. Combinations of B. renojensis variant 2 with selected SAR (systemic acquired resistant) products numerically improved the efficacy and consistency of the biological nematicide. Another study focused about investigated of biological seed treatments on H. glycines, and F. virguliforme indicated that many of these biological products significantly reduced the nematode reproduction over the fungicide only check. Foliar disease severity happened more in the treatments that infested with H. glycines + F. virguliforme combination than F. virguliforme alone.

Book Investigating Root knot and Soybean Cyst Nematode Parasitic Interactions Through Transcriptomic Analyses of the Host and Parasite

Download or read book Investigating Root knot and Soybean Cyst Nematode Parasitic Interactions Through Transcriptomic Analyses of the Host and Parasite written by Ellie Walsh and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plant-parasitic nematodes are a major threat to global agricultural production. Root-knot nematodes (RKN, Meloidogyne spp.) are arguably the biggest threat, capable of parasitizing virtually every crop. Soybean cyst nematode (SCN; Heterodera glycines) has a narrow host range, but is the most destructive pathogen of a particularly important crop, soybean (Glycine max). RKN’s wide host range makes crop rotation often inadequate for management, and host resistance is unavailable in many crops. Effective resistance is available against SCN however populations have adapted to the most frequently used sources of resistance. RKN and SCN both induce elaborate feeding sites. In addition to being the sole source of nutrition, the feeding sites are the primary targets of nematode secretions to manipulate host cellular functions; consequently, they are very important interfaces of the interaction. The general aim of this research was to elucidate changes in the transcriptome underlying the successful interaction between these nematodes and their hosts. Although the use of RNA interference (RNAi) to knockdown nematode genes is actively being pursued as a new strategy for nematode control, little is known about the effects of general RNAi mechanisms during parasitism. As the suppression of RNAi has been characterized in other pathosystems, I hypothesized that parasitic nematodes may also be influencing these pathways. Tanscriptomic analysis of genes associated with RNAi machinery and target genes indicates that RNAi-regulated pathways are altered during the parasitic interaction. Using a silenced reporter gene, I found the disturbance to be specific to the nematode feeding site. Furthermore, disrupting these pathways with viral suppressors of RNAi renders the host more susceptible to nematode parasitism. Transcriptomic analysis indicates that this effect extends into later stages in parasitism, making the adult female stage of particular interest for further analyses. I performed a transcriptomic analysis of adult female RKN to address the hypothesis that transcriptional patterns in this later stage of parasitism will reveal new candidate genes encoding proteins that regulate the parasitic process, such as proteins that interact with RNAi among other plant pathways. Results from RNA-Seq analysis and reverse transcriptase PCR indicate that cell wall modifiers likely continue to play an important role in the parasitic interaction. Results from transcriptomic analysis including the putative secretome have highlighted new candidates for functional analysis to determine their role in the interaction. The later stage in parasitism is similarly of interest in SCN. SCN populations are adapting to the most commonly planted host resistance available in soybean, derived from Plant Introduction (PI) 88788 and “Peking.” The resistance response in PI 88788 appears to be longer-lasting than that in Peking, which impacts nematodes’ early development. Due to my focus on the adult female stage, I chose to investigate parasitism on PI 88788. I hypothesize that transcriptional differences between females from populations avirulent and virulent on PI 88788 may play a role in their adaptation to resistance. Results from this study indicate that the expression of an effector-like gene may have been lost in virulent populations, presumably allowing them to evade host detection and subsequent defense responses.

This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plant-parasitic nematodes represent a substantial constraint on global food security by reducing the yield potential of all major crops, including soybean (Glycine max L.). The soybean cyst nematode (SCN) (Heterodera glycines I.) is widely distributed across all soybean production areas of the US, and is the major yield-limiting factor, especially in the Midwestern US. Double cropping (DC) is defined as producing more than one crop on the same parcel of land in a single growing season. Compared to conventional single annual crops, DC provides many advantages, including improving soil health, enhanced nutrient provisioning to plants, improvement of soil physical properties, control of erosion, decrease in tillage requirements, and enhanced profitability. In some double-cropping systems, soybean is planted following winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), and several reports suggest the potential of wheat to suppress SCN populations. Field trials were conducted from 2017 to 2018 to investigate the effect of wheat on SCN populations in double-cropping soybean. Nine fields with three levels of initial SCN populations (low, moderate, and high) were selected in Illinois. Wheat was planted in strips alternating with strips-maintained weed-free and under fallow over winter and early spring. Soybean was planted in all strips after the wheat harvest. Soybean cyst nematode egg densities were acquired at four time points: wheat establishment, post-wheat/pre-soybean, mid-soybean (R1 growth stage or beginning of flowering), and post-soybean harvest. Wheat strips reduced SCN egg densities compared with fallow strips at the R1 stage (−31.8%) and after soybean harvest (−32.7%). Field locations with noted SCN suppression were selected for a metagenomics study. The structure of fungal communities differed significantly between DC and fallow plots at soybean planting and after harvest (P

Book Functional Analysis Identifies Glycine Max Genes Involved in Defense to Heterodera Glycines

This book was released on 2013 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The infection of plants by Heterodera glycines, commonly known as soybean cyst nematode (SCN), is a serious agricultural problem of worldwide extent. Meanwhile, it provides an excellent experimental model to study basic aspects of how cells function, in particular, during biotic challenge. Heterodera glycines challenges plant cells by initiating, developing and sustaining an interaction that results in the formation of a nurse cell from which the nematode derives nourishment. The presented experiments examine (1) how a cell can be de-differentiated and reprogrammed to perform a much different biological role and (2) how a cell’s immune responses can be engaged or suppressed to accomplish that goal. The observation of alpha soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein (alpha-SNAP) expression, its location within the rhg1 locus and known involvement in the vesicular transport machinery relating to defense made it a strong candidate for further functional analysis. Functional studies demonstrated that overexpression of alpha-SNAP in the susceptible G. max[Williams 82/PI 518671] genotype that lacks its expression results in the partial suppression of H. glycines infection. This indicated that the vesicles could be delivering cargo to the site of infection to engage a defense response. High levels of expression of a cell wall modifying gene called xyloglucan endotransglycosylase also occur during defense. XTHs associate with vesicles, act in the apoplast outside of the cell, and have a well-known function in cell wall restructuring. These observations indicated that alterations in the cell wall composition of nurse cells could be important for the successful defense response. Overexpression of a G. max xyloglucan endotransglycosylase (Gm-XTH) in the susceptible G. max[Williams 82/PI 518671] genotype resulted in a significant negative effect on H. glycines as well as R. reniformis parasitism. The results, including preliminary experiments on components of the vesicle transport system, identify a potent mechanism employed by plants to defend themselves from two types of plant-parasitic nematodes.
