Biocontroh Fungal Parasites of Female Cyst Nematodes 1
نویسنده
چکیده
Three species of fungi, Catenaria auxiliarls (Kiihn) Tribe, Nematophthora gynophila Kerry and Crump, and a Lagenidiaceous fungus have been found attacking female cyst nematodes. All are zoosporic fungi which parasitize females on the root surface, cause the breakdown of the nematode cuticle, and prevent cyst formation. Their identification and some aspects of their biology are reviewed. N. gynophila is widespread in Britain and reduces populations of the cereal cyst nematode, Heterodera avenae Woll., to nondamaging levels. The potential of these nematophagous fungi as biocontrol agents is discussed.

Fungal 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...

From an agronomic perspective, the interactions of phytoparasitic nematodes with leguminous crops can be devastating (Barker, 1998). On a cellular and molecular level, the complexities of the interactions of these microscopic worms with legumes are comparable to those of well-known symbionts (Mathesius, 2003). Because of their agricultural importance, the soybean cyst nematode Heterodera glycin...
متن کاملFungal Parasites of the Cereal Cyst Nematode Heterodera avenae in Southern Sweden.
Fungal parasites of the cereal cyst nematode Heterodera avenae were isolated from four sites in southern Sweden. In all, 15 different fungi were isolated from different stages of the nematode life cycle. Among the egg parasites, Verticillium chlamydosporium was common in young cysts on roots, whereas an unidentified species of Verticillium (Verticillium sp. 1) was the dominating species in cyst...
متن کاملMycobiome of Cysts of the Soybean Cyst Nematode Under Long Term Crop Rotation
The soybean cyst nematode (SCN), Heterodera glycines Ichinohe (Phylum Nematoda), is a major pathogen of soybean. It causes substantial yield losses worldwide and is difficult to control because the cyst protects the eggs which can remain viable for nearly a decade. Crop rotation with non-host crops and use of biocontrol organisms such as fungi and bacteria offer promising approaches, but remain...
متن کاملEffective and specific in planta RNAi in cyst nematodes: expression interference of four parasitism genes reduces parasitic success
Cyst nematodes are highly evolved sedentary plant endoparasites that use parasitism proteins injected through the stylet into host tissues to successfully parasitize plants. These secretory proteins likely are essential for parasitism as they are involved in a variety of parasitic events leading to the establishment of specialized feeding cells required by the nematode to obtain nourishment. Wi...
