Differences in highly induced. Molecular the balance parallelisms with lateral Auxins/Cytokinins between roots both feeding cells Aim of the chapter. This introductory chapter is composed by three different review articles with the aim of offering an insight into the current state of the art of the plant- nematode interaction research. It is mainly centred in the root-knot nematodes and particularly in molecular aspects of the interaction. The first review article entitled “Overview of Root-Knot Nematodes and Giant Cells” discusses general aspects of the morphology, the life cycle including the reproduction of the nematodes of the genus Meloidogyne spp., as well as the impact of this plague in the agriculture worldwide. Moreover, an overview of the present knowledge on the morphological and molecular changes occurring during the development of the root- knot nematode feeding cells, the giant cells, is also shown. The article gives a hint of the research on giant cells and galls biology and development based largely on microscopy and molecular biology techniques. This overview is followed by a more detailed description of those plant developmental pathways mediated by hormones that could be contributing to the formation of the giant cells induced by Meloidogyne spp. or to the syncytia induced by cyst nematodes. This review entitled “Developmental Pathways Mediated by Hormones in Nematode Feeding Sites” discusses the parallelisms found at the gene regulation level between the processes of the development of different plant tissues or organs such as the root apical meristem or the lateral roots and the formation of the nematode feeding sites, and how nematode secretions should interfere with hormone- regulated developmental pathways in the roots to establish their feeding sites. Under the title of “The Power of Omics to Identify Plant Susceptibility Factors and to Study Resistance to Root-knot Nematodes (RKNs)”, the last section of this introductory chapter reviews the approaches based on omic techniques for the study of the RKNs interaction. The vast data generated in this holistic studies helped to a better understanding of the giant cells and galls development, and to the identification of putative plant susceptibility factors; some of them helpful to the development of biotechnological tools for nematode control. Moreover, this introduction makes reference to some of the results obtained during the experimental work of this thesis, highlighting some of the main conclusions obtained. In this way, the results obtained during my PhD have been incorporated to the state of the art of the research on this field, helping to placing them in context and to understand their significance.

  • Species Concepts and the Evolutionary Paradigm in Modern Nematology
    JOURNAL OF NEMATOLOGY VOLUME 30 MARCH 1998 NUMBER 1 Journal of Nematology 30 (1) :1-21. 1998. © The Society of Nematologists 1998. Species Concepts and the Evolutionary Paradigm in Modern Nematology BYRON J. ADAMS 1 Abstract: Given the task of recovering and representing evolutionary history, nematode taxonomists can choose from among several species concepts. All species concepts have theoretical and (or) opera- tional inconsistencies that can result in failure to accurately recover and represent species. This failure not only obfuscates nematode taxonomy but hinders other research programs in hematology that are dependent upon a phylogenetically correct taxonomy, such as biodiversity, biogeography, cospeciation, coevolution, and adaptation. Three types of systematic errors inherent in different species concepts and their potential effects on these research programs are presented. These errors include overestimating and underestimating the number of species (type I and II error, respectively) and misrepresenting their phylogenetic relationships (type III error). For research programs in hematology that utilize recovered evolutionary history, type II and III errors are the most serious. Linnean, biological, evolutionary, and phylogenefic species concepts are evaluated based on their sensitivity to systematic error. Linnean and biologica[ species concepts are more prone to serious systematic error than evolutionary or phylogenetic concepts. As an alternative to the current paradigm, an amalgamation of evolutionary and phylogenetic species concepts is advocated, along with a set of discovery operations designed to minimize the risk of making systematic errors. Examples of these operations are applied to species and isolates of Heterorhab- ditis. Key words: adaptation, biodiversity, biogeography, coevolufion, comparative method, cospeciation, evolution, nematode, philosophy, species concepts, systematics, taxonomy.

  • Apch 2017 Delegates' Abstract
    APCH 2017 DELEGATES’ ABSTRACT Topic: Basic Science: Genetics, genomics, proteomics and metabolomics Abstract No: 3630 A PILOT GENOME WIDE ASSOCIATION STUDY (GWAS) IN MULTI ETHNIC POPULATION OF MALAYSIA Ms Syahirah Kaja Mohideen*1 ; Prof Datuk Dr A Rahman A Jamal1 ; Prof Dr Nor Azmi Kamaruddin1 ; Prof Dr Norlela Sukor1 ; Ms Elena Aisha Azizan1 1MEDICINE/ UNIVERSITI KEBANGSAAN MALAYSIA (UKM)/ Malaysia Objective Primary aldosteronism (PA) occurs due to the presence of aldosterone-producing lesions commonly located in the adrenal gland which can thus be cured by an adrenalectomy. Studies on surgically removed tissues found somatic mutations in five genes (KCNJ5, ATP1A1, ATP2B3, CACNA1D, and CTNNB1) can cause the excess aldosterone production. Most of these studies were performed in Caucasian patients. The aim of our study is to understand the genetic background which may promote somatic mutation in these genes and to investigate the frequency and distribution of these somatic mutations in the multiethnic Asian population in Malaysia. Method To characterize the genetic background of PA, a pilot genome wide association study (GWAS) was performed using the Human Infinium OmniExpressExome-8 v1.4 BeadChip containing 960,919 markers to compare gDNA of PA patients with healthy controls. The Association Workflow in Partek® Genomics SuiteTM was used for quality control and association analysis was performed using the Chi-square Test and reported as an odds ratio (OR). On tumour DNA, targeted sequencing of hotspots for the five causal genes were performed. Discussion From the pilot GWAS, two SNPs in chromosome 2 were identified to be associated with PA (OR=11.03, P-value=7.1x10-10, and OR=1.61, P-value=4.0x10-9,).

Box 7062, Kampala Uganda Section Objectives Going through this section will enrich you with skill to be able to: diagnose nematode problems in the field considering all aspects involved in sampling, extraction and counting of nematodes from soil and plant parts, make permanent mounts, set up and maintain nematode cultures, design experimental set-ups for tests with nematodes Section Content sampling and quantification of nematodes extraction methods for plant-parasitic nematodes, free-living nematodes from soil and plant parts mounting of nematodes, drawing and measuring of nematodes, preparation of nematode inoculum and culturing nematodes, set-up of tests for research with plant-parasitic nematodes, A. Nematode sampling Unlike some pests and diseases, nematodes cannot be monitored by observation in the field. Nematodes must be extracted for microscopic examination in the laboratory. Nematodes can be collected by sampling soil and plant materials. There is no problem in finding nematodes, but getting the species and numbers you want may be trickier. In general, natural and undisturbed habitats will yield greater diversity and more slow-growing nematode species, while temporary and/or disturbed habitats will yield fewer and fast- multiplying species. Sampling considerations Getting nematodes in a sample that truly represent the underlying population at a given time requires due attention to sample size and depth, time and pattern of sampling, and handling and storage of samples.

Less than two months later I joined the lab and took “osas#9” under my wing. When I started there was three things known about osas#9: 1) The small ascaroside is produced by starved larval stage 1 (L1) animals, 2) starved C. elegans respond aversively to the compound, and 3) starved animals subjected to the compound plus E. coli, no longer avoid osas#9. Now, five years later, we have developed an extensive model for the underlying circuitry driving response and modulation to osas#9. Of course, I say we because it was a group effort, involving discussion with peers, input from collaborators, and assistance from undergraduates.
