PEFUXY and Marcus W. TRETT Department of Nematology, Rothamsted Experimental Station, Harpenden, Ultrastructure de la coque de l’cswf de Heterodera schachtii et H. glycines (Nematoda : Tylenchida) TJhrastructural studies demonstrate that the eggshells of Heterodera schachtii and H. glycines consist of a chitinous layer and a lipid layer. The chitinous layer comprises an osmiophilic outer portion and a more substantial, less-densely staining inner portion. The lipid layer is composed of a thin, amorphous outer layer external to a predominantly tetra- or pentalaminate imrer layer. An outer vitelline membrane was not identified in either species. During embryonation, a secondary vitelline membrane, initially indistinguishable from the inner lipid layer, separates to form the epicuticle as the fïrst-stage juvenile cuticle is secreted. The inner lipid layer was not detected in eggs of H. schachtii from cysts with extensive fungal contamination and this is discussed in context of possible fungal enzyme action and mechanical abrasion by the enclosed juvenile. Ultrastructure de la coque de l’œuf de Heterodera schachtii et ,H. glycines (Nematoda : Tylenchidal L’étude ultrastructurale de la coque de l’œuf chez Heterodera schachtii et H. glycines a montré que celle-ci comprend une couche chitineuse et une couche interne lipidique. La couche chitineuse est constituée d’une partie externe osmiophile et d’une partie interne, plus importante, moins densément colorée. La couche lipidique est composée d’une fine couche basale et d’une membrane plus importante comportant elle-même quatre ou cinq couches. Lors de la formation de l’embryon, une membrane vitelline secondaire est formée, qui au début ne se distingue pas de la membrane de l’œuf et qui se sépare ensuite pour former I’épicuticule lorsque la cuticule du juvénile de premier stade est secrétée. Ces membranes de la coque de l’œuf n’ont pu être distinguées sur les œufs de H. schachtii provenant de kystes très contaminés par des champignons; ce point est discuté dans le contexte d’une éventuelle action enzymatique du champignon et d’une abrasion mecanique par le juvénile.

    Nematology Circular No. 221 Fl. Dept. Agriculture & Cons. Svcs. November 2002 Division of Plant Industry The Mediterranean Cereal Cyst Nematode, Heterodera latipons: a Menace to Cool Season Cereals of the United States1 N. Greco2, N. Vovlas2, A. Troccoli2 and R.N. Inserra3 INTRODUCTION: Cool season cereals, such as hard and bread wheat, oats and barley, are among the major staple crops of economic importance worldwide. These monocots are parasitized by many pathogens and pests including plant parasitic nematodes. Among nematodes, cyst-forming nematodes (Heterodera spp.) are considered to be very damaging because of crop losses they induce and their worldwide distribution. The most economically important cereal cyst nematode species damaging winter cereals are: Heterodera avenae Wollenweber, which occurs in the United States and is the most widespread and damaging on a world basis; H. filipjevi (Madzhidov) Stelter, found in Europe and Mediterranean areas and most often confused with H. avenae; and H. hordecalis Andersson, which seems to be confined to central and north European countries. In the 1950s and early 1960s, a cyst nematode was detected in the Mediterranean region (Israel and Libya) on the roots of stunted wheat plants (Fig. 1 A,B). It was described as a new species and named H. latipons based on morphological characteristics of the Israel population (Franklin 1969). Subsequently, damage by H. latipons was reported on cereals in other Mediterranean countries (Fig. 1). MORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND DIAGNOSIS: Heterodera latipons cysts are typically ovoid to lemon-shaped as those of H. avenae. They belong to the H. avenae group be- cause they have short vulva slits (< 16 µm) (Figs.

  • Phylogenetic Implications of Phasmid Absence in Males of Three Genera in Heteroderinae 1 L
    Journal of Nematology 22(3):386-394. 1990. © The Society of Nematologists 1990. Phylogenetic Implications of Phasmid Absence in Males of Three Genera in Heteroderinae 1 L. K. CARTA2 AND J. G. BALDWINs Abstract: Absence of the phasmid was demonstrated with the transmission electron microscope in immature third-stage (M3) and fourth-stage (M4) males and mature fifth-stage males (M5) of Heterodera schachtii, M3 and M4 of Verutus volvingentis, and M5 of Cactodera eremica. This absence was supported by the lack of phasmid staining with Coomassie blue and cobalt sulfide. All phasmid structures, except the canal and ampulla, were absent in the postpenetration second-stagejuvenile (]2) of H. schachtii. The prepenetration V. volvingentis J2 differs from H. schachtii by having only a canal remnant and no ampulla. This and parsimonious evidence suggest that these two types of phasmids probably evolved in parallel, although ampulla and receptor cavity shape are similar. Absence of the male phasmid throughout development might be associated with an amphimictic mode of reproduction. Phasmid function is discussed, and female pheromone reception ruled out. Variations in ampulla shape are evaluated as phylogenetic character states within the Heteroderinae and putative phylogenetic outgroup Hoplolaimidae.

HANDOO2 Summary Anatomical changes induced by the cabbage cyst nematode (Heterodera cruciferae) have been insufficiently characterized. Here these changes were described in the root tissues of white head cabbage variety (Yalova F1) commonly grown in the Black Sea region of Turkey, where cabbage-growing areas are heavily infested. In glasshouse experiments conducted at 20 degrees C, susceptible white head cabbage seedlings were inoculated with 0 (untreated control) or 1000 juveniles/300 ml soil. Three, 6, 12, 24, 48, 72 h and 30 days after inoculations, two plants from each treatment were removed, embedded in paraffin by using microwave technique and then examined by photomicrography. Second-stage passed through the vascular system after root penetration and they started to feed as sedentary. In cross section of the roots, large cells in the cortex of infected plants were filled with moderately dense cytoplasm and the walls were heavily stained and ruptured. In longitudinal section, internal walls were perforated. Syncytia that had different degrees of vacuolization, and syncytial nuclei were hypertrophied and deeply indented. Contained conspicuous nucleoli were noticeable 24 h after inoculation. Syncytia originating from endodermal cells possessed ruptured walls around the feeding site of the developing juvenile. White females were observed on the roots 30 days after inoculation, a time at which plant height was reduced and root proliferation increased.

Van Gansberghelaan 96, 9820 Merelbeke, Belgium Received: 30 September 2002; revised: 27 February 2003 Accepted for publication:5 March 2003 Summary – Species of the Heterodera avenae complex, including populations of H. arenaria, H. aucklandica, H. australis, H. avenae, H. lipjevi, H. mani, H. pratensis and H. ustinovi, obtained from different regions of the world were analysed with PCR-RFLP and sequencing of the ITS-rDNA, RAPD and light microscopy. Phylogenetic relationships between species and populations of the H. avenae complex as inferred from analyses of 70 sequences of the ITS region and of 237 RAPD markers revealed that the cereal cyst nematode H. avenae is a paraphyletic taxon. The taxonomic status of the Australian cereal cyst nematode H. australis based on sequences of the ITS-rDNA and RAPD data is con rmed. Morphometrical and ITS-rDNA sequence analyses revealed that the Chinese cereal cyst nematode is different from other H. avenae populations infecting cereals and is related to H. pratensis. Bidera riparia Kazachenko, 1993 is transferred to the genus Heterodera as H. riparia (Kazachenko, 1993) comb. n. As a consequence, H. riparia Subbotin, Sturhan, Waeyenberge & Moens, 1997 becomes a junior secondary homonym and is renamed as H.
