چکیده

Second-stage larvae of Meloidodera floridensis kept in tap water developed without feeding into small, slender males. They completed three molts, and the molted cuticles remained superimposed. All organ systems were well developed in third- and fourth-stage male larvae. Structures in the head region such as cephalic framework, styler and esophagus were smaller and differed morphologically from those of second-stage larvae. Development of the male reproductive system was similar to that of other tylenchids, and sex was recognizable at the end of the second molt. Second-stage larvae, developing in pine roots, increased in size and molted three times to become ovoid to spherical females. Each larval stage had a stylet and fed actively. Sex could be determined at the end of the second molt. Detailed observations were made on the development of the reproductive system, cuticle, esophagus and tail region.

Relative DNA Content and Chromosomal Relationships of some Meloidogyne, Heterodera, and Meloidodera spp. (Nematoda: Heteroderidae).

The relative DNA content of hypodermal nuclei of preparasitic, 2nd-stage larvae was determined cytophotometrically in 19 populations belonging to 13 species of Meloidogyne, Heterodera and Meloidodera. In Meloidogyne hapla, M. arenaria, M. incognita and M. javanica, total DNA content per nucleus is proportional to their chromosome number, indicating that chromosomal forms with high chromosome nu...

Influence of plant-parasitic nematodes on longleaf pine seedlings.

Seedlings of longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) were grown in 20-cm pots for 5 to 7 months in the greenhouse following inoculation with a high or low level of one of seven species of plant-parasitic nematodes. Belonolaimus longicaudatus and Helicotylenchus dihystera had no effect on seedling growth. High inoculum densities of Hoplolaimus galeatus and Tylenchorhynchus claytoni caused a significant ...
