  • Rhynchus Claytoni Steiner 1) by Lr
    INVESTIGATIONS ON THE LIFE CYCLE, REPRODUCTION, FEEDING HABITS AND HOST RANGE OF TYLENCHO- RHYNCHUS CLAYTONI STEINER 1) BY L. R. KRUSBERG N. C. State College, Raleigh, North Carolina, U.S.A. The tobacco stunt nematode, Tylenchorhynchus claytoni., is one of the more serious plant-parasitic nematodes in North Carolina. It was first described from specimens collected around and in roots of stunted to- bacco plants (Nicotiana tabacum L.) (STEINER, 1937). This nematode was found in soil from 6/% of 175 tobacco fields sampled in South Carolina (GRAHAM, 1954). Besides reproducing on cotton and tobacco it also reduced the root systems and caused stunting of these plants in the greenhouse. T. claytoni severely reduced the root systems of hybrid corn breeding lines in greenhouse tests (NELSON, 1956). Several in- breds were resistant resulting in reduction of the nematode populations. This species has been causing considerable damage to tobacco in North Carolina (DROLSOM & MOORE, 1955), and a recently developed variety (Dixie Bright 101) is reported to support larger nematode populations than old line varieties (NUSBAUM, 1954). T. claytoni has been found in golf green turfs (TROLL & TARJAN, 1954), in the soil around roots of sugar cane, strawberry, camellia, sweet potato and rice (MARTIN & BIRCHFIELD, 1955), and in the rhizospheres of chlorotic and stunted peanut plants (BOYLE, 1950). Host-parasite relations have been studied with two other Tylencho- rhynchus species. The relations of T. dubius Biltschli to cotton and Te- pary bean (Phaseolits acutifolius, Gray, var. latifolius, Freem.) were investigated in Arizona (REYNOLDS & EVANS, 1953). Nematodes ap- peared to feed on the epidermal tissues of young roots and larvae were found inside some small secondary roots.

Among the identified species, Tylenchorhynchus zeae Sethi and Swarup, 1968 of Telotylenchidae Siddiqi, 1960 is a new record from Iran and the isolate is described and illustrated based on morphological, morphometric, and molecular characteristics. The phylogenetic tree inferred from partial sequences of the 28S rRNA (D2D3 segments) grouped the Iranian isolate with other T. zeae sequences, forming a strongly supported clade (Bayesian posterior probability: 100%). T. zeae is reported here for the first time on Ziziphus zizyphus for Iranian nematofauna. Additional morphological and molecular information is also provided for other species including Amplimerlinius globigerus, Merlinius brevidens, Pratylenchoides alkani, P. ritteri, Scutylenchus rugosus, S. tartuensis, and Trophurus impar from B. vulgaris, C. sativus, and Z.

We are constantly out in the field "doing it," exploring, photographing and gathering the latest information about what we love to do. In this issue, you might notice that ADM is once again expanding by 16 pages to bring you, our readers, even more information and contin- ued high-quality photography.

Introduction Activities conducted under this project fell into two components addressing coral diseases in the Florida Keys: (1) etiologic studies and (2) reef surveys. Each is discussed in turn below. Note that activities were coordinated by and based at Mote's "Pigeon Key Marine Research Center" which has been relocated and renamed the "Center for Tropical Research" since completion of the project. All future correspondence regarding this project should be to the current address. This project involved personnel from a number of institutions in addition to those of the grant recipients. A brief description of project roles follows. Erich Mueller (Mote Marine Laboratory - MML) was the project director. In addition to project management and report generation, he conducted all drilling to establish stations, conducted coral and disease (June 1998 only) counts on surveys, mapped the LK03 site, drilled holes in lesions and secured pins. Esther Peters (Tetra Tech., Inc. - TTI) was Quality Assurance (QA) officer. She also conducted or supervised all sample collection activities and conducted coral disease surveys (August, 1998 only).

Surveys were conducted in Idaho, USA during the 2000-2006 cropping seasons to study the occurrence, population density, host association and distribution of plant-parasitic nematodes associated with major crops, grasses and weeds. Eighty-four species and 43 genera of plant-parasitic nematodes were recorded in soil samples from 29 crops in 20 counties in Idaho. Among them, 36 species are new records in this region. The highest number of species belonged to the genus Pratylenchus; P. neglectus was the predominant species among all species of the identified genera. Among the endoparasitic nematodes, the highest percentage of occurrence was Pratylenchus (29.7) followed by Meloidogyne (4.4) and Heterodera (3.4). Among the ectoparasitic nematodes, Helicotylenchus was predominant (8.3) followed by Mesocriconema (5.0) and Tylenchorhynchus (4.8). Keywords.
