Nematoda: Hoplolaimidae) 1 Description and Larval Heteromorphism of Hoplolaimus concaudajuvencus, n. sp. (Nematoda: Hoplolaimidae) 1 A. MORGAN GOLDEN AND NORMAN A. MINTON 2 Abstract: Hoplolaimus concaudajuvencus n. sp., of the genus Hoplolaimus Daday, 1905, characterized by larval heteromorphism, is described and illustrated as recovered from ryegrass/bermudagrass golf green turf in Florida. Females and males are closely related to H. galeatus (Cobb, 1913) Thorne, 1935, but have longer stylets with more definitely tulip-shaped stylet knobs which anteriorly tend to close upon the stylet shaft more than in H. galeatus. First and second-stage larvae have a conically-pointed tail unlike any known species of the genus. Subsequent stages, including females, have rounded tails es- sentially similar to other species of the genus and males possess the typical hopolaimid tail and bursa. The first molt was found to occur within the egg. Key Words: Taxonomy, Hoplolaimus concaudaju- vencus n. sp., Morphology, Larval heteromorphism. In November of 1966 a moderately high Hoplolaimus concaudajuvencus, population of Hoplolaimus Daday, 1905 was n. sp. recovered along with other nematodes from Measurements (20 ~ 2, Fig. 1 A, B, a sample of golf green turf, consisting of and Fig. 2 J, K): Length 1.606 mm (1.120- annual ryegrass (Loliurn multiIlorum Lam.) 2.041); a -- 28.6 (23.9-31.9); b = 8.6 (6.3- and "Tifgreen" bermuda grass (Cynodon dac- 11.0); c = 65.1 (49.5-85.9); V = 54.4% tylon [L.] Pers.), from Pensacola, Florida.

Plant Parasitic nematodes known as Phyto-nematodes; a threat for the agricultural crops such as cotton. Nematodes are very small, worm-like, multicellular animals adapted to living in water and soil. Some species of nematode are plant feeder and aerial feeder. Different methods such as cultural, biological, botanical etc. are used for the management of nematodes globally. The aim of present review is to evaluate the best method for controlling the nematodes. Botanicals nematicides are the best method for nematodes management because botanical have no harmful impact on human, animals and environment. New, more efficient and ecofriendly nematicides are needed along with machineries for more effective application.

Experiments with a monoxenic culture of Hoplolaimus columbus on excised roots were conducted to evaluate effects of temperature and initial population density (Pi) on final population numbers (Pf), evaluate host range, and compare virulence and host specificity to that in field populations. The nematodes fed and reproduced on excised root cultures, with average reproductive factors (Pf/Pi) of 254 on alfalfa and 121 on soybean after 90 days. Incubation at 30°C and an initial population of 10 nematodes per 9-cm petri dish were optimal for reproduction. Nematodes maintained in excised root culture for one year retained their virulence and host specificity in the greenhouse when compared to extracted field populations.

Richards2 and J. Antonio Baeza2,3,4* Abstract Background: The plant-parasitic nematode Hoplolaimus columbus is a pathogen that uses a wide range of hosts and causes substantial yield loss in agricultural felds in North America. This study describes, for the frst time, the complete mitochondrial genome of H. columbus from South Carolina, USA. Methods: The mitogenome of H. columbus was assembled from Illumina 300 bp pair-end reads. It was annotated and compared to other published mitogenomes of plant-parasitic nematodes in the superfamily Tylenchoidea. The phylogenetic relationships between H. columbus and other 6 genera of plant-parasitic nematodes were examined using protein-coding genes (PCGs). Results: The mitogenome of H. columbus is a circular AT-rich DNA molecule 25,228 bp in length. The annotation result comprises 12 PCGs, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 19 transfer RNA genes. No atp8 gene was found in the mitog- enome of H. columbus but long non-coding regions were observed in agreement to that reported for other plant- parasitic nematodes. The mitogenomic phylogeny of plant-parasitic nematodes in the superfamily Tylenchoidea agreed with previous molecular phylogenies. Mitochondrial gene synteny in H. columbus was unique but similar to that reported for other closely related species. Conclusions: The mitogenome of H. columbus is unique within the superfamily Tylenchoidea but exhibits similarities in both gene content and synteny to other closely related nematodes.

  • 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. Key words: anaphimixis, ampulla, cell death, Cactodera eremica, Heterodera schachtii, Heteroderinae, parallel evolution, parthenogenesis, phasmid, phylogeny, ultrastructure, Verutus volvingentis.

Knowing the main lines of research and concerns about nematodes that affect plants is fundamental. Methods: For this reason, an analysis using bibliometric data has been carried out, with the aim of tracing the state of world research in this field, as well as knowing the main lines of work, their priorities, and their evolution. Results: This will allow us to establish strategic lines for the future development of this research. Conclusions: The analysis has allowed us to detect that the interest in nematodes affecting plants has not stopped growing in the last decades, and that tomato, soybean, and potato crops are the ones that generate the most interest, as well as nematodes of the genus Meloidogyne and Globodera. Likewise, we have detected that the main lines of research in this field are focused on biological control and host–parasite interaction.

  • Hoplolaimus Puertoricensis N.Sp. (Nematoda: Hoplolaimidae)
    Hoplolaimus puertoricensis n.sp. (Nematoda: Hoplolaimidae) Carmen T. Ramirez1 INTRODUCTION Large numbers of parasitic nematodes are frequently found associated with our sugarcane soils. Among them, lance nematodes of the genus Hoplolaimus are sometimes encountered. On a recent collection of soil samples made in the Luce & Co. sugarcane fields at Santa Isabel, P.R., some specimens of Hoplolaimus were found, showing characters which make them different from all other described species. The specimens were killed by gentle heat, fixed in FAA, and passed through Thome's method of desiccating and mounting in glycerin. Perma­ nent mounts were made and added to the Nematode Collection of the Agricultural Experiment Station of the University of Puerto Rico. The description of the new species is as follows: HOPLOLAIMUS PUERTORICENSIS N.SP. Measurements Females: 1.3-1.7 mm.; a—28-35; 6—7.2-10.8; c—32-63; V—17-32/46-56/ 18-31 Hololype: 1.4 mm.; a—32; 6—7.2; c—53; V—32/5Z/30 Males: Not observed. Description Female: Body cylindroid, slightly arcuate when relaxed by gentle heat. Lip region distinctly offset, with 3 annules marked by 6-9 longitudinal striae. In face view 6 lips are seen with 1 papilla on each submedian lip. Amphids slitlike. Cephalic framework prominent with 6 segments, the ventral and dorsal ones bifurcated. Spear, massive, 41-45 ¡i long with tulip-shaped knobs. Cuticle annules, about 1 \i apart, continous around body except on tail (fig. 1,K). Hemizonid, 3-9 ¡i posterior to excretory pore. Deirids not observed. Scutellum ovate, migratory but always an­ terior to vulva.

It is located here: http://www.cabi.org/cabreviews © CAB International 2018 (Online ISSN 1749-8848) Abstract Soyabean, because of its importance in food security and wide diversity of uses in industrial applications, is one of the world’s most important crops. There are a number of abiotic and biotic constraints that that threaten soyabean production. Soyabean pests are major biotic constraints limiting soyabean production and quality. Crop losses to animal pests, diseases and weeds in soyabeans average 26–29% globally. This review discusses biology, global distribution and plant damage and yield losses in soyabean caused by insect pests, plant diseases, nematodes and weeds. The interactions among insects, weeds and diseases are detailed. A soyabean integrated pest management (IPM) package of practices, covering the crop from pre-sowing to harvest, is outlined. The effect of climate changes on arthropod pests, plant diseases and weeds are discussed. The history and evolution of the highly successful soyabean IPM programme in Brazil and the factors that led to its demise are explained. Keywords: Biological control, Biotic constraints, Chemical control, Climate change, Cultural control, Insect pests, Mechanical practices, Nematodes, Pesticides, Package of practices, Plant diseases, Plant pest interactions, Soybean IPM programme, Weeds Review Methodology: Search terms used were: scientific and common names of all of the insects, plant diseases, nematodes and weeds listed in the tables.
