Detection and Partial Characterization of Egg Polypeptides from Heterodera glycines.
نویسنده
چکیده
The presence of two major egg polypeptides was demonstrated in the plant-parasitic nematode Heterodera glycines. The polypeptides were present in equal amounts in, and were most abundant in, eggs from yellow females. They were also present in brown females but were not detected in second-stage juveniles (J2). The two major egg polypeptides, MEP-I and MEP-II, accounted for more than 50% of the total protein in egg extracts evaluated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. During development of females from the yellow stage to the brown stage, the levels of MEP-I and MEP-II declined at twice the rate as total protein. MEP-I and MEP-II had estimated molecular masses of 190 kD and 180 kD, respectively, similar to those reported for female-specific proteins, vitellins, from free-living nematodes.

متن کاملIn-vitro Assays of Meloidogyne incognita and Heterodera glycines for Detection of Nematode-antagonistic Fungal Compounds.
In-vitro methods were developed to test fungi for production of metabolites affecting nematode egg hatch and mobility of second-stage juveniles. Separate assays were developed for two nematodes: root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne incognita) and soybean cyst nematode (Heterodera glycines). For egg hatch to be successfully assayed, eggs must first be surface-disinfested to avoid the confounding effe...

Fructose-bisphosphate aldolase (EC 4.1.2.13) is a key enzyme in glycolysis. We have characterized full-length coding sequences for aldolase genes from the cyst nematodes Heterodera glycines and Globodera rostochiensis, the first for any plant-parasitic nematode. Nucleotide homology is high (83% identity), and the respective sequences encode 40 kDa proteins with 89% amino acid identity. Genomic ...
