KIRBY 2 Abstract: Various crops were tested in greenhouse and field trials for their potential utility in the rotation sequence in the potato cropping system in Meloidogyne chitwoodi-infested soils of the Klamath Basin in northeastern California and southern Oregon. Two Solarium accessions from the Interna- tional Potato Center in Peru were potential sources of resistance to M. chitwoodi. Cultivars of barley, oat, rye, wheat, and white lupine were maintenance hosts, supporting the nematode population at its current level without substantial increase or decline. Poor to nonhosts to race 1 of the nematode included cuhivars of alfalfa, amaranth, oilseed radish, oilseed rape, and safflower. These crops have potential for inclusion in the cropping system but are subject to various constraints, including frost sensitivity and availability of markets. Sugarbeet, a new crop in the area, is a maintenance or better host of M. chitwoodi. Potato, tomato, and sunflower are excellent hosts.

Brown3 and Vidyasagar Sathuvalli4* Abstract Background: Meloidogyne chitwoodi commonly known as Columbia root-knot nematode or CRKN is one of the most devastating pests of potato in the Pacific Northwest of the United States of America. In addition to the roots, it infects potato tubers causing internal as well as external defects, thereby reducing the market value of the crop. Commercial potato varieties with CRKN resistance are currently unavailable. Race specific resistance to CRKN has been introgressed from the wild, diploid potato species Solanum bulbocastanum into the tetraploid advanced selection PA99N82–4 but there is limited knowledge about the nature of its resistance mechanism. In the present study, we performed histological and differential gene expression profiling to understand the mode of action of introgressed CRKN resistance in PA99N82–4 in comparison to the CRKN susceptible variety Russet Burbank. Results: Histological studies revealed that the nematode juveniles successfully infect both resistant and susceptible root tissue by 48 h post inoculation, but the host resistance response restricts nematode feeding site formation in PA99N82–4. Differential gene expression analysis shows that 1268, 1261, 1102 and 2753 genes were up-regulated in PA99N82–4 at 48 h, 7 days, 14 days and 21 days post inoculation respectively, of which 61 genes were common across all the time points.

O. Box 307, Jimma, Ethiopia Email Address: [email protected] Abstract Molecular methods of identification provide accurate, reliable diagnostic approaches for the identification of plant-parasitic nematodes. The promising and attractive results have generated increasing demands for applications in new fields and for better performing techniques. Initially, the techniques were used solely for taxonomic purposes, but increasingly became popular as a component of diagnostic information. Diagnostic procedures are now available to differentiate the plant-pathogenic species from related but non-pathogenic species. The microscopic size of plant parasitic nematodes poses problems and techniques have been developed to enrich samples to obtain qualitative and quantitative information on individual species. In addition, techniques are available to evaluate single nematodes, cysts or eggs of individual species in extracts from soil and plant tissue. DNA or RNA-based techniques are the most widely used approaches for identification, taxonomy and phylogenetic studies, although the development and use of other methods has been, and in some cases still is, important. DNA barcoding and the extraction of DNA from preserved specimens will aid considerably in diagnostic information. In addition, further review is needed to identify all recovered nematode and evaluation of promising treatments for use in integrated disease management strategy to manage not only regulated species such as the potato cyst nematodes Globodera rostochiensis and Globodera pallida, and root-knot nematode Meloidogyne.

E-mail: [email protected]. *Corresponding author. 2Instituto Biológico, Campinas, SP, Brasil. ABSTRACT: Root-knot nematodes (RKN – Meloidogyne spp.) are one of the most serious threats to carrot production worldwide. In Brazil, carrots are grown throughout the year, and economic losses due to RKN are reported. Since little is known on the distribution of RKN species in carrot fields in Brazil, we collected plant and soil samples from 35 fields across six states. Based on the morphology of perineal patterns, esterase phenotypes and species-specific PCR, three Meloidogyne species were identified: 60% of the fields were infested with Meloidogyne incognita, M. javanica was reported in 42.9% of the areas, whereas M. hapla was detected in 17.1% of carrot fields. Mixed populations were reported in 20% of the areas with a predominance of M. incognita + M. javanica. The combination of morphological, biochemical, and molecular techniques is a useful approach to identify RKN species. Key words: Daucus carota, integrative taxonomy, isozyme phenotypes, species-specific PCR.

Potatoes (Solanum tuberosum) and tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculentum) are good hosts, while barley (Hordeum vulgare), maize (Zea mays), oats (Avena sativa), sugarbeet (Beta vulgaris var. saccharifera), wheat (Triticum aestivum) and various Poaceae (grasses and weeds) will maintain the nematode. Moderate to poor hosts occur in the Brassicaceae, Cucurbitaceae, Fabaceae, Lamiaceae, Liliaceae, Umbelliferae and Vitaceae. Capsicum annuum and tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum and N. rustica) are not hosts of M. chitwoodi. Lucerne (Medicago sativa) is a good host for race 2 but not for race 1, whereas carrots (Daucus carota) are a non-host for race 2 but a good host for race 1. Ferris et al. (1994), investigating suitable crops for rotation with potato in the presence of race 1 in USA, recommend Amaranthus, lucerne, rape (Brassica napus var. oleifera), Raphanus sativus var. oleifera and safflower (Carthamus tinctorius). In the Netherlands, host crops recorded to be attacked by M. chitwoodi are carrots, cereals, maize, peas (Pisum sativum), Phaseolus vulgaris, potatoes, Scorzonera hispanica, sugarbeet and tomatoes (OEPP/EPPO, 1991).

ABSTRACT: The accurate identification of root-knot nematode (RKN) species (Meloidogyne spp.) is essential for implementing management strategies. Methods based on the morphology of adults, isozymes phenotypes and DNA analysis can be used for the diagnosis of RKN. Traditionally, RKN species are identified by the analysis of the perineal patterns and esterase phenotypes. For both procedures, mature females are required. Over the last few decades, accurate and rapid molecular techniques have been validated for RKN diagnosis, including eggs, juveniles and adults as DNA sources. Here, we emphasized the methods used for diagnosis of RKN, including emerging molecular techniques, focusing on the major species reported in Brazil. Key words: DNA, esterase, Meloidogyne, molecular biology, morphological pattern.

    Description and SEM Observations of Meloidogyne chitwoodi n. sp. (Meloidogynidae), a Root-knot Nematode on Potato in the Pacific Northwest A. Morgan Golden, J. H. O'Bannon, G. S. Santo, and A. M. Finley 1 Abstract: Meloidogyne chitwoodi n. sp. is described and illustrated from potato (Solanum tuberosum) originally collected from Quincy, Washington, USA. This new species resembles M. hapla, but its perineal pattern is basically round to oval with distinctive and broken, curled, or twisted striae around and above the anal area. The vulva is in a sunken area devoid of striae. Vesicles or vesicle-like structures are present in the median bulb of females. The larva tail, being short and blunt with a hyaline tail terminal having little or no taper to its rounded terminus, is distinctively different from M. hapla. SEM observations revealed the nature of the perineal pattern and details of the head of larvae and males, and showed the spicules to have dentate tips ventrally. Hosts for M. chitwoodi n. sp. include potato, tomato, corn, and wheat but not straw- berry, pepper, or peanut. The latter three crops are excellent hosts for M. hapla. The known distribntion of this new root-knot species presently involves certain areas of Idaho, Washington, and Oregon.

Read Full License Page 1/9 Abstract Meloidogyne chitwoodi is a major threat to potato production in the Pacic Northwest region of United States. Infected tubers are rendered unmarketable, hence growers’ protability is adversely affected. Breeding for nematode resistance is a long-term process and phenotyping the segregating populations for nematode resistance is the most time-consuming and laborious part of the process. Using DNA-based markers closely linked to the nematode resistance trait for marker-assisted selection (MAS) could enhance breeding eciency and accuracy. In the present study, a pool of phenotyped progenies segregating for nematode resistance and susceptibility were ngerprinted using a 21K single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array. Eight candidate SNPs located on potato Chromosome 11, segregating with the nematode resistance trait were identied and used as landmarks for discovery of other marker types such as, simple sequence repeat (SSR) and insertion-deletion (INDEL) markers.
