SUMMARY The cell wall, a strong extraprotoplasmic layer surrounding plant cells that mainly consists of a variety of polysaccharides, constitutes a major barrier for potential parasites. Plant-parasitic nematodes are well equipped to overcome this barrier as they produce and secrete
Cyst nematodes consistently threaten agricultural production, causing billions of dollars in losses globally. The Rhg1 (Resistance to Heterodera glycines 1) locus of soybean (Glycine max) is the most popular resistance source used against soybean cyst nematodes (Heterodera
Tobacco cyst nematode (Globodera tabacum solanacearum) isolates were collected from 11 locations in Virginia, 3 in North Carolina, and 1 in Maryland. Isolates from each location were maintained and increased on flue-cured tobacco, Nicotiana tabacum cv K326. Plants of flue-cured tobacco cultivars
The Globodera tabacum complex infects tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) fields in the United States. In August 2001, plants of flue-cured tobacco cv. K326 from a field of the La Vera Region of Spain displayed a premature wilting and yellowing of foliage, but the roots looked healthy. In the laboratory
Plants express various antimicrobial peptides including thionins to protect themselves against pathogens. It was recently found that, in addition to four thionin genes, Arabidopsis contains 67 thionin-like (ThiL) genes including six pseudogenes. It is known that thionins have antimicrobial activity
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a major class of small non-coding RNAs with emerging functions in biotic and abiotic interactions. Here, we report on a new functional role of Arabidopsis miR827 and its NITROGEN LIMITATION ADAPTATION (NLA) target gene in mediating plant susceptibility to the beet cyst
Resistance to an undescribed species of Heterodera, Osborne's cyst nematode, was compared in Nicotiana glutinosa, N. paniculata, N. plumbaginifolia and N. Iongiflora. These species were differentially resistant in greenhouse tests as shown by nematode development, the reaction of the invaded roots,
Host resistance is an important strategy for managing Globodera tabacum subsp. solanacearum and G. tabacum subsp. tabacum, important nematode pests of flue-cured tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) in Virginia, and cigar wrapper tobacco (N. tabacum) in Connecticut and Massachusetts, respectively. Field
The soybean cyst nematode (SCN), Heterodera glycines, is one of the most destructive pathogens of soybeans. SCN is an obligate and sedentary parasite that transforms host plant root cells into an elaborate permanent feeding site, a syncytium. Formation and maintenance of a viable syncytium is an
Parasitism genes encoding secreted effector proteins of plant-parasitic nematodes play important roles in facilitating parasitism. An annexin-like gene was isolated from the cereal cyst nematode Heterodera avenae (termed Ha-annexin) and had high similarity to annexin 2, which encodes a secreted
Cereal cyst nematode (Heterodera avenae) is attracted to and aggregated around wheat roots to initiate infection, but this interaction between wheat and the nematode is not fully understood. The transcriptional responses of both wheat and H. avenae were examined during their early contact stage by
Cereal cyst nematode (CCN, Heterodera avenae) is a most important pathogen of wheat and causes tremendous yield loss annually over the world. Since the lack of resistance materials among wheat cultivars, identification and characterization of the resistance-related genes from the relatives of wheat
The reproductive potentials of Heterodera glycines (mixture of races 3 and 4 and unidentified races) and a tobacco cyst nematode Globodera tabacum solanacearum were studied in the field. The experiments involved four cultivars of soybean Glycine max and four cultivars of Nicotiana tabacum. The
Stimulation of hatching of a tobacco cyst nematode (Globodera tabacum solanacearum) by root exudates from resistant NC 567 and susceptible K 326 cultivars of flue-cured tobacco, Nicotiana tabacum, was investigated. Root exudates were collected by soaking seedlings in deionized water for 2 hours at
Genotypes of burley (cultivars B-21 and B-49), flue-cured (line VA-81 and cultivar PD-4), and Connecticut broadleaf (cultivar C9) tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) resistant (R) or susceptible (S) to the tobacco cyst nematode Globodera tabacum tabacum were crossed. F1 progeny of burley and susceptible
