    SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO BOTANY 0 NCTMBER 52 Chromosome Numbers in Compositae, XII: Heliantheae Harold Robinson, A. Michael Powell, Robert M. King, andJames F. Weedin SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION PRESS City of Washington 1981 ABSTRACT Robinson, Harold, A. Michael Powell, Robert M. King, and James F. Weedin. Chromosome Numbers in Compositae, XII: Heliantheae. Smithsonian Contri- butions to Botany, number 52, 28 pages, 3 tables, 1981.-Chromosome reports are provided for 145 populations, including first reports for 33 species and three genera, Garcilassa, Riencourtia, and Helianthopsis. Chromosome numbers are arranged according to Robinson’s recently broadened concept of the Heliantheae, with citations for 212 of the ca. 265 genera and 32 of the 35 subtribes. Diverse elements, including the Ambrosieae, typical Heliantheae, most Helenieae, the Tegeteae, and genera such as Arnica from the Senecioneae, are seen to share a specialized cytological history involving polyploid ancestry. The authors disagree with one another regarding the point at which such polyploidy occurred and on whether subtribes lacking higher numbers, such as the Galinsoginae, share the polyploid ancestry. Numerous examples of aneuploid decrease, secondary polyploidy, and some secondary aneuploid decreases are cited. The Marshalliinae are considered remote from other subtribes and close to the Inuleae. Evidence from related tribes favors an ultimate base of X = 10 for the Heliantheae and at least the subfamily As teroideae.

Some populations of this nematode show preference for certain hosts, revealing the existence of “races/groups” with different behaviour and making nematode management difficult. A possible biological control alternative to reduce the damage caused by this species may be the use of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). In the present work, the effect of Glomus intraradices on tomato plants inoculated with the nematode at transplanting and three weeks later was tested. At 60 days, the following parameters were estimated: percentage of AMF colonization, root and aerial dry weight, number of galls and egg masses, and reproduction factor (RF=final population/initial population) of N. aberrans . AMF colonization was higher in the presence of the nematode.

Acceplecl for publication 5 November 1996. Summary - In Argentina, soil nematodes constitute a diverse group of invertebrates. This widely distributed group incJudes more than twO hundred currently valid species, among which the plant-parasitic and entomopathogenic nematodes are the most remarkable. The former includes species that cause damages to certain crops (mainly MeloicU:igyne spp, Nacobbus aberrans, Ditylenchus dipsaci, Tylenchulus semipenetrans, and Xiphinema index), the latter inc1udes various species of the Mermithidae family, and also the genera Steinernema and Helerorhabditis. There are few full-time nematologists in the country, and they work on taxonomy, distribution, host-parasite relationships, control, and different aspects of the biology of the major species. Due tO the importance of these organisms and the scarcity of information existing in Argentina about them, nematology can be considered a promising field for basic and applied research. Résumé - Les nématodes et l'agriculture en Argentine. Un aperçu général - Les nématodes du sol représentent en Argentine un groupe très diversifiè. Ayant une vaste répartition géographique, il comprend actuellement plus de deux cents espèces, celles parasitant les plantes et les insectes étant considèrées comme les plus importantes. Les espèces du genre Me/oi­ dogyne, ainsi que Nacobbus aberrans, Dùylenchus dipsaci, Tylenchulus semipenetrans et Xiphinema index représentent un réel danger pour certaines cultures.

National University of Catamarca, Argentina 4. Extension Agency National Agricultural Technology Institute (INTA) Santa María, Catamarca, Argentina Abstract: The surface of continental Argentina is 2,791,810 square kilometers, with phytogeographic regions characterized by soils, climates and different vegetation cover. Of that area, 34 million hectares are used for agriculture. In this context, soil nematodes that cause damage to crops can find many suitable places to colonize and multiply. So far, the true importance of these organisms is not taken into account. We believe that this situation is due to the limited information held by producers and technicians who advise, regarding soil nematodes in general and phyto-parasites in particular. Because of this, the task of extension is very limited and does not contribute to raise awareness of the serious damage that some species cause to agriculture. Therefore, some people who work mainly in basic research, we decided to engage with agronomists, producers and members of ministries of agriculture, to convey results of our daily work. As a result, research projects on nematodes that affect the cultivation of pepper for paprika began.

  • Review on Nematode Molecular Diagnostics: from Bands to Barcodes
    Journal of Biology, Agriculture and Healthcare www.iiste.org ISSN 2224-3208 (Paper) ISSN 2225-093X (Online) Vol.4, No.27, 2014 Review on Nematode Molecular Diagnostics: From Bands to Barcodes Alemu Nega Department of Horticulture and Plant Science, Jimma University, P. 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.

  • Revision of the Genus Nacobbus Thorne and Allen, 1944 (Nematoda: Tylenchoidea)
    Revision of the Genus Nacobbus Thorne and Allen, 1944 (Nematoda: Tylenchoidea) S. A. SHER ~ Abstract: All four species and one subspecies of the genus Nacobbus Thorne and Allen, 1944 were studied and measured from type specimens. Nacobbus batatiformis Thorne and Schuster, 1956; N. serendipiticus Franklin, 1959; and N. serendipiticus bolivianus LordeUo, Zamith and Boock, 1961 are proposed as synonyms of N. aberrans (Thorne, 1935) Tborne and Allen, 1944. Nacobbus aberrans is distinguished from the type species N. dorsalis Thcrne and Allen, 1944 by the larger number of body annules between the vulva and anus; the lower position of the vulva in the young female; and the shape and number of eggs retained in the mature female. Key Words: Taxonomy, Nacobbus. Juveniles, immature females and males of on the original descriptions. For this revision Nacobbus Thorne and Allen 1944, have preserved type specimens of all the described been found, usually in low numbers ( 1 to 10 species were studied and measured. In addi- per 477 cc of soil), in soil samples from tion, fresh material of N. dorsalis from the widely distributed areas (usually unculti- type locality was used for comparison. vated) in the western United States. Rarely have the mature females been found in the HISTORY roots, even after repeated sampling of some Thorne and Allen (12) pointed out that of these infested areas. Native plants from Cobb (4) was apparently the first to re- these places were grown in infested soil in cord specimens of Nacobbus from Colorado, the greenhouse on several occasions without U.S.A. Cobb illustrated a male and juvenile finding mature females in the roots.
