pasteuria penetrans is a bacterial parasite of some plant parasite of nematodes whichcan attach to the cuticle of nematode. differences in attachment of p. penetrans spores to the second stag juvenile (j2) cuticle may provide evidence for nematode cuticle diversity even between different ages of j2s. for investigating this purpose, we studied the effect of different ages of the same population ...

one of the methods for controlling cucumber root-knot nematode is the use of plant extracts that have nematicidal effect. in this research, sweet wormwood and castor bean were selected and their anti-nematode activity has been investigated against cucumber root-knot nematode (meloidogyne incognita) in laboratory and greenhouse. experiments were carried out by using randomized completely design ...

the present study is based on the investigation of a soil hyphomyces, paecilomyces lilacinus, an opportunistic bio-control agent, in controlling root-knot nematode meloidogyne javanica on tomato in greenhouse conditions. p. lilacinus, effectively promoted the growth of plants inoculated with m. javanica by suppressing its pathogenesis as root galling by the nematode and egg mass production was ...

the influence of different initial inoculum densities of the root-knot nematode meloidogyne javanica on the growth of sage (salvia officinalis), root-knot development and nematode multiplication was investigated 90 days after inoculation under greenhouse conditions. with the increase in the nematode initial inoculum densities, shoot fresh/dry weight, shoot/root length and root fresh/dry weight ...

Nonchemical methods and strategies for nematode management including cultural methods and engineered measures have been recommended as an alternative to methyl bromide (a major soil fumigant), due to its role in the depletion of the ozone layer. Hence, an international agreement has recently been reached calling for its reduced consumption and complete phasing out. This present research evaluat...

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...

Perla, David E. M.S., Purdue University, August, 2014. Management of Root Knot Nematode (Meloidogyne incognita) in Indiana Soybeans. Major Professors: Ricky Foster and Virginia Ferris. The aim of this project was to evaluate different strategies for management of Root Knot Nematode (RKN) on soybean and tomato in Indiana. Seed treatments were evaluated under field and greenhouse conditions, but ...

Root-knot nematodes secrete effectors that manipulate their host plant cells so that the nematode can successfully establish feeding sites and complete its lifecycle. The root-knot nematode feeding structures, their "giant cells," undergo extensive cytoskeletal remodeling. Previous cytological studies have shown the cytoplasmic actin within the feeding sites looks diffuse. In an effort to study...

Plant parasitic nematodes, including root knot nematode Meloidogyne species, cause extensive damage to agriculture and horticultural crops. As Vitis vinifera cultivars are susceptible to root knot nematode parasitism, rootstocks resistant to these soil pests provide a sustainable approach to maintain grapevine production. Currently, most of the commercially available root knot nematode resistan...

Like any other branch of Agricultural Sciences, the Division of Nematology at IARI, initiated researches in the exciting field of biochemistry and molecular biology of plant parasitic nematodes during the early seventies of last century. The main research areas were biochemical mechanism of resistance against phytonematodes and diagnostics of economically important plant parasitic nematodes. Sp...
