  • Engineered Soybean Cyst Nematode Resistance
    Chapter 6 Engineered Soybean Cyst Nematode Resistance Vincent P. Klink, Prachi D. Matsye, Katheryn S. Lawrence and Gary W. Lawrence Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/54514 1. Introduction A variety of plant parasitic nematodes (PPNs), including the soybean cyst nematode (SCN), elicit the initiation, development and maintenance of a specialized nurse cell from which they derive their nutriment (Figure 1). Remarkably, during parasitism by the PPN, the nurse cell survives the apparently significant resource drain on the root cell that would be expect‐ ed to detrimentally impact normal physiological processes of the cell. This outcome indi‐ cates that the nematode has developed a well tuned apparatus to ensure that the root cell does not collapse and die during parasitism. In contrast, in the soybean-SCN pathosystem, the nurse cell and sometimes the surrounding cells are the sites of the defense response to the parasite (Ross, 1958; Endo, 1965). Therefore, plants have in place a mechanism to over‐ come the influence of the activities of the nematode. Identifying the factor(s) is of utmost im‐ portance in developing resistance to PPNs. 1.2. History Documented accounts reveal that soybean has been in cultivation for thousands of years (Hymowitz et al. 1970), beginning in Asia perhaps as early as 3,500 B.C. (Liu et al. 1997). While the natural range of soybean is East Asia, after thousands of years of cultivation a true understanding of its native range is complicated at best. However, the extensive range of wild soybean and obvious differences in its growth habit indicates that while environmental cues may be responsible for changes in soybean and plant growth habit in general (Garner Allard 1930; Chapin III et al.

Al-Sadek Mohamed Salem Ghazala December 2012 Abstract Peas suffer from several diseases, and there is a need for accurate, rapid in-field diagnosis. This study used proteomics to investigate the response of pea plants to infection by the root knot nematode Meloidogyne hapla, the root rot fungus Fusarium solani and the downy mildew oomycete Peronospora viciae, and to identify potential biomarkers for diagnostic kits. A key step was to develop suitable protein extraction methods. For roots, the Amey method (Chuisseu Wandji et al., 2007), was chosen as the best method. The protein content of roots from plants with shoot infections by P. viciae was less than from non-infected plants. Specific proteins that had decreased in abundance were (1->3)-beta-glucanase, alcohol dehydrogenase 1, isoflavone reductase, malate dehydrogenase, mitochondrial ATP synthase subunit alpha, eukaryotic translation inhibition factor, and superoxide dismutase. No proteins increased in abundance in the roots of infected plants. For extraction of proteins from leaves, the Giavalisco method (Giavalisco et al., 2003) was best. The amount of protein in pea leaves decreased by age, and also following root infection by F.

    Evaluating Seed Treatments for the Management of Soybean Cyst Nematode (Heterodera glycines Ichinohe) in Dry Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) by Trust T. Katsande A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Plant Agriculture Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Trust T. Katsande, September, 2019 ABSTRACT Evaluating Seed Treatments for the Management of Soybean Cyst Nematode (Heterodera glycines Ichinohe) in Dry Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) Trust T. Katsande Advisor: University of Guelph, 2019 Chris L. Gillard Soybean cyst nematode (Heterodera glycines; SCN) infestation is a major cause of yield loss in soybean (Glycine max), and dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) is an alternative host. In soybean, genetic resistance and seed treatments are mainly used for SCN management however these options are not available in dry bean. Seven seed treatments were assessed for effects on SCN populations in black (cv. Zorro) and kidney (cv. Dynasty; Red Hawk) bean. Two field studies were conducted in 2018 on naturally infested soils near Highgate and Rodney, Ontario. In addition, two different controlled environment studies were completed. There was little treatment response in field studies. In the first controlled environment study, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens and Bacillus firmus reduced cysts in black and kidney bean while fluopyram reduced cysts in Red Hawk only. In second study, fluopyram reduced cysts by 50% and 88% in Dynasty and Red Hawk, respectively while other treatments were inconsistent. iii DEDICATION This dissertation is dedicated to my caring and loving parents Michael and Sarudzai Katsande, my brothers Austin and Omega for their endless support.

Although a 35% population increase is projected by 2050. Significant improvements are consequently necessary in terms of resource use efficiency. In moving crop yields towards an efficiency frontier, optimal pest and disease management will be essential, especially as the proportional production of some commodities steadily shifts. With this in mind, it is essential that the full spectrums of crop production limitations are considered appropriately, including the often overlooked nematode constraints about half of all nematode species are marine nematodes, 25% are free-living, soil inhabiting nematodes, I5% are animal and human parasites and l0% are plant parasites. Today, even with modern technology, 5-l0% of crop production is lost due to nematodes in developed countries. So, the aim of this work was to review some agricultural nematodes genera, species they contain and their management methods. In this review work the species, feeding habit, morphology, host and symptoms they show on the effected plant and management of eleven nematode genera was reviewed.

November 2002 Division of Plant Industry The Mediterranean Cereal Cyst Nematode, Heterodera latipons: a Menace to Cool Season Cereals of the United States1 N. Greco2, N. Vovlas2, A. Troccoli2 and R.N. Inserra3 INTRODUCTION: Cool season cereals, such as hard and bread wheat, oats and barley, are among the major staple crops of economic importance worldwide. These monocots are parasitized by many pathogens and pests including plant parasitic nematodes. Among nematodes, cyst-forming nematodes (Heterodera spp.) are considered to be very damaging because of crop losses they induce and their worldwide distribution. The most economically important cereal cyst nematode species damaging winter cereals are: Heterodera avenae Wollenweber, which occurs in the United States and is the most widespread and damaging on a world basis; H. filipjevi (Madzhidov) Stelter, found in Europe and Mediterranean areas and most often confused with H. avenae; and H. hordecalis Andersson, which seems to be confined to central and north European countries. In the 1950s and early 1960s, a cyst nematode was detected in the Mediterranean region (Israel and Libya) on the roots of stunted wheat plants (Fig. 1 A,B). It was described as a new species and named H. latipons based on morphological characteristics of the Israel population (Franklin 1969). Subsequently, damage by H. latipons was reported on cereals in other Mediterranean countries (Fig. 1). MORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND DIAGNOSIS: Heterodera latipons cysts are typically ovoid to lemon-shaped as those of H. avenae. They belong to the H. avenae group be- cause they have short vulva slits (< 16 µm) (Figs.

DNA-based diagnostic methods have already gained acceptance in applications ranging from quarantine determinations to assessments of biodiversity. Researchers are currently in an information-gathering mode, with intensive efforts applied to accu- mulating nucleotide sequence of 18S and 28S ribosomal genes, internally transcribed spacer regions, and mitochondrial genes. Important linkages with collateral data such as digitized images, video clips and specimen voucher web pages are being established on GenBank and NemATOL, the nematode-specific Tree of Life database.

  • The Mitochondrial Genome of the Soybean Cyst Nematode, Heterodera Glycines
    565 The mitochondrial genome of the soybean cyst nematode, Heterodera glycines Tracey Gibson, Daniel Farrugia, Jeff Barrett, David J. Chitwood, Janet Rowe, Sergei Subbotin, and Mark Dowton Abstract: We sequenced the entire coding region of the mitochondrial genome of Heterodera glycines. The sequence ob- tained comprised 14.9 kb, with PCR evidence indicating that the entire genome comprised a single, circular molecule of ap- proximately 21–22 kb. The genome is the most T-rich nematode mitochondrial genome reported to date, with T representing over half of all nucleotides on the coding strand. The genome also contains the highest number of poly(T) tracts so far reported (to our knowledge), with 60 poly(T) tracts ≥ 12 Ts. All genes are transcribed from the same mitochon- drial strand. The organization of the mitochondrial genome of H. glycines shows a number of similarities compared with Ra- dopholus similis, but fewer similarities when compared with Meloidogyne javanica. Very few gene boundaries are shared with Globodera pallida or Globodera rostochiensis. Partial mitochondrial genome sequences were also obtained for Hetero- dera cardiolata (5.3 kb) and Punctodera chalcoensis (6.8 kb), and these had identical organizations compared with H. gly- cines. We found PCR evidence of a minicircular mitochondrial genome in P. chalcoensis, but at low levels and lacking a noncoding region. Such circularised genome fragments may be present at low levels in a range of nematodes, with multipar- tite mitochondrial genomes representing a shift to a condition in which these subgenomic circles predominate. Key words: mitochondrial, nematode, gene rearrangement, Punctodera, Punctoderinae, Heteroderidae, Heterodera cardio- lata.
