Plant parasitic nematodes: digesting a page from the microbe book.
It is somewhat ironic that an important finding concerned with cellulose biosynthesis in higher plants (1) appeared just before the paper in this issue of the Proceedings by Smant et al. (2) describing genes from a plant parasitic nematode that encode proteins that degrade cellulose. Cellulose is the most abundant polymer on the planet and is an essential component of the plant cell wall. Altho...

the number of bacteria per dauerjuvenile. Preliminary data established similar LD50s and LT50s for X. nematophilus subsp, nematophilus (from the DD 136 strain) and X. nematophilus subsp, nematophilus vat. mexicanus (from the Mexican strain). The absence of toxin production by either S.feltiae strain or bacterial types in a culture medium similar to the host's hemolymph has been reported (5,6). ...
متن کاملAtomic force microscopy of plant-parasitic nematodes.
A simple method for atomic force microscopy (AFM) of nematode cuticle was developed to visualize the external topography of Helicotylenchus lobus, Meloidogyne javanica, M. incognita, and Xiphinema diversicaudatum. Endospores of two isolates of the nematode parasite, Pasteuria penetrans, adhering to M. incognita and X. diversicaudatum were also visualized and measured by this technique. Scanning...
متن کاملFungal egg-parasites of plant-parasitic nematodes from Spanish soils.
We have investigated the presence of fungal egg-parasites in Spanish soils with plant endoparasitic nematodes. Nine out of 68 samples (13%) yielded fungal parasites. The most common (seven strains) was Pochonia chlamydosporia var. chlamydosporia (= Verticillium chlamydosporium var. chlamydosporium), but Lecanicillium lecanii (= Verticillium lecanii) and Paecilomyces lilacinus were also found. M...
متن کاملPlant parasitic nematodes associated with leatherleaf fern.
Seven species of plant parasitic nematodes were found to be associated with leatherleaf fern (Rumohra adiantiformis) in central Florida. Of these, Pratylenchus penetrans, Tylenchorhynchus claytoni, and Criconemoides curvatum were commonly encountered. Nematode communities generally included two or three species of plant parasitic nematodes, with greatest diversity in nematode species occurring ...
