MULTIFACTORIAL ANALYSIS OF MORTALITY OF SOYBEAN CYST NEMATODE (Heterodera glycines Ichinohe) POPULATIONS IN SOYBEAN AND IN SOYBEAN FIELDS ANNUALLY ROTATED TO CORN IN NEBRASKA by Oscar Pérez-Hernández A DISSERTATION Presented to the Faculty of The graduate College at the University of Nebraska In Partial Fulfillment of Requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Major: Agronomy (Plant Pathology) Under the Supervision of Professor Loren J. Giesler Lincoln, Nebraska August, 2013 MULTIFACTORIAL ANALYSIS OF MORTALITY OF SOYBEAN CYST NEMATODE (Heterodera glycines Ichinohe) POPULATIONS IN SOYBEAN AND IN SOYBEAN FIELDS ANNUALLY ROTATED TO CORN IN NEBRASKA Oscar Pérez-Hernández, Ph.D. University of Nebraska, 2013 Advisor: Loren J. Giesler The soybean cyst nematode (SCN; Heterodera glycines Ichinohe) is the most economically important pathogen of soybean in the U.S. The effect of annual corn rotation, soil properties, weather, and agronomic factors on SCN population densities was quantified in 45 fields in Nebraska over three years. SCN population densities (eggs/100 cm3 of soil) in each field were determined before (Pi) and after (Pf) annual corn rotation. Average SCN population density reduction was 50.62%. Multivariate analysis was used to describe the relationship of soil texture (% of sand, silt, and clay), Pi, and Pf. Two principal components explained 92% of the variability in the data set. The first component was represented by texture and accounted for 60.5% and the second was represented by Pi and Pf and explained 31.5%. Cluster analysis identified two groups of fields: one group with predominantly sandy soil (57 to 95%) and the other with predominantly silty soil (23 to 61%). SCN Pi was significantly higher in the sandy group than in the silty group (F = 271.19, P<0.0001). The SCN Pf was modeled using an initial set of eight predictors. A negative binomial regression model with the log link function was applied to a 35-field training data set and a final model was selected. This model was used to estimate the nematode population density after annual corn rotation in the training data set and its prediction power was 82.1%. This predicting capability was confirmed in a validation data set in which the model’s predicting capability was 79.6%. Intra and interplot spatial variability of SCN population densities was analyzed in three experimental areas and its relationship with soybean yield was examined. SCN population densities had an aggregated pattern, showing spatial dependence with those of adjacent plots. The β-binomial distribution adequately described data of incidence and suggested that SCN population density aggregation also occurred within plots. The SCN reproduction factor was not related to the number of SCN-positive cores per plot nor was it related to soybean yield in two soybean varieties assessed, one resistant and one susceptible. iv DEDICATION To Amy, my wife.

In the Okanagan Valley, Canada, the root-lesion nematode, Pratylenchus penetrans, is widely distributed and implicated in poor growth of newly planted fruit trees. Restrictions on soil fumigants have generated interest in alternative management strategies for disease control.

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.

Ex DC.) is an underutilized leguminous crop which has been used as a food source across central America and Asia. It is adapted to a range of environments and is closely related to major leguminous food crops, offering the potential to understand the genetic basis of environmental adaptation, and it may be used as a source of novel genes and alleles for the improvement of other legumes. Here, we assembled a draft genome of P. erosus of 460 Mbp in size containing 37,886 gene models. We used this assembly to compare three cultivars each of P. erosus and the closely related P. tuberosus and identified 10,187,899 candidate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). The SNP distribution reflects the geographic origin and morphology of the individuals.

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.

Becker5 Abstract: Pasteuria sp., strain S-1, is a gram-positive, obligate endoparasitic bacterium that uses the phytoparasitic sting nematode, Belonolaimus longicaudatus, as its host in Florida. The host attachment of S-1 appears to be specific to the genus Belonolaimus with development occurring only in juveniles and adults of B. longicaudatus. This bacterium is characterized from other described species of Pasteuria using ultrastructure of the mature endospore. Penetration, development, and sporogenesis were elucidated with TEM, LTSEM, and SEM and are similar to other nematode-specific Pasteuria. Recent analysis of 16S rDNA sequence homology confirms its congeneric ranking with other Pasteuria species and strains from nematodes and cladocerans, and corroborates ultrastructural, morphological, morphometric, and host-range evidence suggesting separate species status. Key words: Belonolaimus longicaudatus, development, obligate nematode endoparasitic bacterium, Pasteuria sp. (S-1 strain), sporo- genesis, sting nematode, ultrastructure.

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.
