Detection 3.1 Symptoms Above-ground symptoms due to PCNs are not specific and often go undetected. General symptoms include patches of poor growth in the crop, with plants sometimes showing yellowing, wilting or death of foliage; tuber size is reduced and roots are extensively branched with soil stuck to them. However, there are many other causes of these symptoms. Plants should therefore be lifted for a visual check for the presence of cysts and young females on the roots, or a soil sample should be taken for testing. Young females and cysts are just visible to the naked eye as tiny white, yellow Fig. 3 Broken cyst with eggs of G. pallida. (Courtesy: Plant Protection Service, NL.) or brown pin-heads on the root surface (Figs 2 and 3). Detection by lifting plants is only possible for a short time nematode cysts. Prior to identification, cysts need to be as females mature into cysts and then can easily be lost at removed from the floats. This process usually requires lifting, and it is time-consuming.

(2015) and is described in Appendix 7. 4. Identification Identification of G. rostochiensis and G. pallida should preferably combine morphological and molecular methods, especially when new introductions are suspected. For identification based on morphology, second-stage juveniles and cysts should be obtained from soil, plant roots or tubers.

December 2012 This copy has been supplied on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgment. Al-Sadek Mohamed Salem Ghazala December 2012 Abstract Peas suffer from several diseases, and there is a need for accurate, rapid in-field diagnosis. This study used proteomics to investigate the response of pea plants to infection by the root knot nematode Meloidogyne hapla, the root rot fungus Fusarium solani and the downy mildew oomycete Peronospora viciae, and to identify potential biomarkers for diagnostic kits. A key step was to develop suitable protein extraction methods. For roots, the Amey method (Chuisseu Wandji et al., 2007), was chosen as the best method. The protein content of roots from plants with shoot infections by P. viciae was less than from non-infected plants. Specific proteins that had decreased in abundance were (1->3)-beta-glucanase, alcohol dehydrogenase 1, isoflavone reductase, malate dehydrogenase, mitochondrial ATP synthase subunit alpha, eukaryotic translation inhibition factor, and superoxide dismutase. No proteins increased in abundance in the roots of infected plants. For extraction of proteins from leaves, the Giavalisco method (Giavalisco et al., 2003) was best. The amount of protein in pea leaves decreased by age, and also following root infection by F.

Additionally, I would like to thank my advisor Senyu Chen for giving me the opportunity to conduct research on nematodes and, in many ways, for making the research possible. Additionally, technicians Cathy Johnson and Wayne Gottschalk at the Southern Research and Outreach Center (SROC) at Waseca deserve much credit for the hours of technical work they devoted to these experiments without which they would not be possible. I thank Yong Bao for his patient in initially helping to train me to identify free-living nematodes and his assistance during the first year of the field project. Similarly, I thank Eyob Kidane, who, along with Senyu Chen, trained me in the methods for identification of fungal parasites of nematodes. Jeff Vetsch from SROC deserves credit for helping set up the field project and advising on all things dealing with fertilizers and soil nutrients. I want to acknowledge a number of people for helping acquire the amendments for the greenhouse study: Russ Gesch of ARS in Morris, MN; SROC swine unit; and Don Wyse of the University of Minnesota.

  • Medit Cereal Cyst Nem Circ221
    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.

Further detail is given below. After the description of H. tabacum, two other similar cyst nematodes, colloquially referred to as horsenettle cyst nematode and Osbourne's cyst nematode, were later designated by Miller et al. (1962) from Virginia, USA. These cyst nematodes were fully described and named as H. virginiae and H. solanacearum by Miller & Gray (1972), respectively. The type host for these species was Solanum carolinense L.; other hosts included different species of Nicotiana, Physalis and Solanum, as well as Atropa belladonna L., Hycoscyamus niger L., but not S.
