Root-knot nematodes (RKN; Meloidogyne incognita) are phytoparasitic that cause significant damage to crop plants worldwide. Recent studies have revealed RKNs disrupt various physiological processes in host plant cells induce gall formation. However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms of formation induced by nematodes. We previously found RNA expression levels some genes related micr...

Nematodes comprise a large phylum of animals that includes plant and animal parasites as well as many free-living species (Maggenti, 1981). Plant parasitic nematodes are obligate parasites, obtaining nutrition only from the cytoplasm of living plant cells. These tiny roundworms (generally 4 mm long and barely visible to the human eye) damage food and fiber crops throughout the world and cause b...

Roundworms of the Nematoda comprise one of the largest animal phyla on Earth (1). They inhabit diverse terrestrial and aquatic niches through adaptations of a spectrum of trophic groups, including parasites that threaten human, animal and crop plant health. The most well-known nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans, is a native soil-dwelling microbivore that has emerged as a premier model for animal ...

The presence of plant-parasitic nematodes causing crop loss every year had been overlooked in the existing fruits, vegetables and flowers cultivation system Bangladesh. Therefore, study was conducted to isolate identify plantparasitic from soil infected plant-parts fruits (banana, orange), (pointed gourd, tomato brinjal) flower (gerbera) districts Jashore, Jhenaidah, Gazipur Sylhet during 2017-...

Research was initiated to physically characterize the mitochondrial genomes of several Meloidogyne spp. and host-races, to address questions regarding their systematics and dispersal, and to assess the possibility of developing molecular diagnostics for these nematodes. Techniques were developed for purification and rapid detection of mitochondrial DNA from root-knot nematodes. Mitochondrial DN...

High infection rates of roots of wild kiwifruit (Actinidia chinensis Planch) and soil infestation by a root-knot nematode were found in Anshun, GuiZhou Province, China. Morphology, esterase phenotype and molecular analyses confirmed that this nematode was different from previously described root-knot nematodes. In this report, the species is described, illustrated and named Meloidogyne aberrans...
