  • Race Genesis in Ditylenchus Dipsaci 1) by D. R. Viglierchio
    RACE GENESIS IN DITYLENCHUS DIPSACI 1) BY D. R. VIGLIERCHIO Department of Nematology, University of California, Davis A garlic isolate of Ditylenchus dipsaci has been found to be polyphagous.Under aseptic conditions this isolate has reproduced on a wide range of plant host tissues many of which are the key hosts reported for the biological races of the stem and bulb nematode. In addition the garlic isolate reproduced on two of nineteen fungus cultures tested. It is clear from the literature reports of many workers that different populations of D. dipsaci can vary in host ranges from very narrow to very broad. It is suggested, as a working hypothesis, that the nominal species, Ditylenchus dipsaci, gene pool be considered as "wild type" polyphagous with race deviations as part of the gene continuum in the fashion illustrated by the schematic representation. The stem and bulb nematode, Ditylenchu.r dipsaci, has been recognized for just over a century. It is perhaps the best known of all plant-parasitic nematodes for complexity in racial characterization. Though restricted essentially to the temperate zones of the world, representatives of the species have been found in hot desert soils, irrigated warm lands, cool most areas, and cold high mountain valleys wherever a host plant is able to grow. The nematode's cryptobiotic state enables it to survive sub-zero winter temperatures, summer soil temperatures of 55°C, or decades of desiccation. It is one of the more cosmopolitan of plant-parasitic nema- todes. It has been reported on nearly 50 botanical families including bryophytes and monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous plants (Filipjev & Schuurmans Stek- hoven, 1941).

  • Impact of Trade on Distribution of Potato Rot Nematode (Ditylenchus Destructor) and Other Plant Nematodes
    Agronomy Research 10 (1–2), 319–328, 2012 Impact of trade on distribution of potato rot nematode (Ditylenchus destructor) and other plant nematodes E. Kruus Institute of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, Estonian University of Life Sciences, Kreutzwaldi 1, 51014 Tartu, Estonia; e-mail: [email protected] Abstract. Scarce status reports give but little substance for convincing conclusions about the gravity of the current problem with the potato rot nematode (Ditylenchus destructor Thorne 1945). This paper reviews the international experience and presents the survey of the most recent plant nematode interception reports by member states of the European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization. Factors influencing the distribution and invasiveness of the species are discussed. The majority of the nematode infestations were identified in consignments of bonsai or aquarium plants, originating predominantly from Asia via Western European countries. Potatoes were the most frequent nematode pathways as detected by Northern, Eastern and Southern Europe. D. destructor has been among the ten best recognised phytonematodes in the international plant trade, even though it was present only in about 3% of the nematode-related interceptions of potato lots. Seed potato has been found contaminated with Potato Cyst Nematodes on several occasions, whereas latent potato rot nematode infestation in ware potato or ornamental plants may easily be overlooked. Special research programs, including the comparative population genetic analyses are necessary to establish the natural and introduced distribution of D. destructor and substantiate creating pest free areas. Key words: plant health, invasion, phytosanitary measures INTRODUCTION Potato rot nematode Ditylenchus destructor Thorne 1945has resulted in serious economic consequences in Eastern European potato production.
