Comparative molecular analysis of Bursaphelenchus vallesianus,a wood‐inhabiting nematode isolated from declining pine trees in the Czech Republic

The Bursaphelenchus genus (Nematoda: Parasitaphelenchidae) comprises mostly wood‐inhabiting nematodes that feed on various tree‐colonizing fungi. One species of the genus, B. xylophilus, has been proven as an agent causing pine wilt disease (PWD). However, involvement of other Bursaphelenchus species in the PWD remains enigmatic. In the current paper, comparative molecular analysis is performed based on nuclear ribosomal DNA (rDNA) of B. vallesianus, a species that was recently isolated from pine trees (Pinus sylvestris) exhibiting wilting and declining symptoms in the Czech Republic. Sequencing of the nuclear‐encoded ITS1–5·8S–ITS2 rDNA region confirmed previous taxonomic conclusions based on morphology. Evolutionary reconstructions resulted in a phylogenetic tree, where the Czech isolate of B. vallesianus occupied a common clade together with other species belonging to the so‐called B. sexdentati group. Unexpectedly, comprehensive analysis of the sequence data revealed a genetic variation distinguishing the Czech isolate of B. vallesianus from all other species of the B. sexdentati group. This dissimilarity consists of the presence of a four nucleotide exchange found in the 5·8S rRNA‐coding gene. The newly identified genetic variation appears to affect the 5·8S rRNA folding, as deduced from secondary structure models. Additionally, it is shown that for the first time, to the authors’ knowledge, both bursaphelenchid internal transcribed spacers (ITS1 and ITS2) fold into the multibranched closed loops. While the ITS2 closed loop is formed with help of canonical 5·8S‐28S rRNA pairing, the ITS1 forms the thermodynamically stable closed loop with no support of flanking rRNA sequences. The current information on bursaphelenchid ITS rDNA sequence diversity and structure is further discussed.     

Molecular characterisation and diagnostics of some Longidorus species (Nematoda: Longidoridae) from Russia and other countries using rRNA genes

The needle nematodes of the genus Longidorus can cause diseases of various crops and trees, and are comprised of more than 150 valid species. Eleven valid and six unidentified species of the genus Longidorus collected in different regions of Russia, two states of USA, Germany, New Zealand and Ukraine were molecularly characterized using analysis of the partial 18S rRNA and the D2–D3 expansion segments of the 28S rRNA gene sequences. Fifty-four partial 28S rRNA and fifteen partial 18S rRNA gene sequences were obtained for the present study. Using molecular criteria, we confirmed the morphological identification and distinguished between the following species: L. aetnaeus, L. africanus, L. andalusicus, L. artemisiae, L. caespiticola, L. distinctus, L. elongatus, L. euonymus, L. intermedius, L. leptocephalus and L. lignosus. Two longidorid populations from Russia and four from California were not identified to a species level. We obtained the full length D2–D3 of 28S rRNA gene sequence from several freshly-collected L. artemisiae samples. We confirmed the identity of the D2 region of 28S rRNA gene sequence with a short D2 of 28S rRNA gene fragment sequence previously obtained from formalin-fixed nematodes embedded in the L. artemisiae paratype slides. Longidorus lignosus was molecularly characterized and L. aetnaeus was reported from Russia for the first time. PCR-D2-D3-RFLP diagnostic profiles generated by five restriction enzymes: AluI, HinfI, Bsp143I, Tru1I and RsaI are presented for sixteen Longidorus species.     

较小拟毛刺线虫不同群体的形态及分子特征比较研究

毛刺类线虫系一类重要的植物外寄生线虫,其内包括一些可传播植物病毒的种类。本研究基于形态学和rDNA分子特征从我国海南儋州、云南呈贡和昆明、福建厦门等植物根围土壤样品中分离鉴定出8个较小拟毛刺线虫(Paratrichodorus minor)群体;通过对种群数量较大的海南儋州群体与福建厦门群体的形态及测量值比较,发现不同地理群体间主要形态测量值存在一定差异;各群体18S RNA区、r DNA-ITS1区、r DNA-ITS2区和28S RNA基因中D2D3区序列与Gen Bank已登录的较小拟毛刺线虫不同群体相应序列(AJ438053、AJ438054及AJ438056;KJ934126;JN123380和JN123381;JN123396和KJ513001)相似度分别介于99.1%~99.9%、95.8%~96.3%、99.5%~99.8%和99.4%~99.9%。对上述较小拟毛刺线虫群体r DNA-ITS1区、r DNA-ITS2区和28S RNA基因中D2D3区序列比较和酶切分析显示,该3段序列在较小拟毛刺线虫种内群体间都较为保守。其中28S RNA基因中D2D3区序列在种内群体稳定,种间群体有明显的差异,系毛刺类线虫鉴定一较好的分子靶标。有关结果对较小拟毛刺线虫的鉴定及鉴别有直接的指导意义。     

Distribution and genetic diversity of root‐knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) in potatoes from South Africa

A molecular‐based assay was employed to analyse and accurately identify various root‐knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) parasitizing potatoes (Solanum tuberosum) in South Africa. Using the intergenic region (IGS) and the 28S D2–D3 expansion segments within the ribosomal DNA (rDNA), together with the region between the cytochrome oxidase subunit II (COII) and the 16S rRNA gene of the mtDNA, 78 composite potato tubers collected from seven major potato growing provinces were analysed and all Meloidogyne species present were identified. During this study, M. incognita, M. arenaria, M. javanica, M. hapla, M. chitwoodi and M. enterolobii were identified. The three tropical species M. javanica, M. incognita and M. arenaria were identified as the most prevalent species, occurring in almost every region sampled. Meloidogyne hapla and M. enterolobii occurred in Mpumalanga and KwaZulu‐Natal, respectively, while M. chitwoodi was isolated from two growers located within the Free State. Results presented here form part of the first comprehensive surveillance study of root‐knot nematodes to be carried out on potatoes in South Africa using a molecular‐based approach. The three genes were able to distinguish various Meloidogyne populations from one another, providing a reliable and robust method for future use in diagnostics within the potato industry for these phytoparasites.     

甘肃小麦禾谷孢囊线虫rDNA-ITS和28S rDNA-D2/D3区序列特征及ITS-RFLP分析

禾谷孢囊线虫是危害禾谷类作物的重要病原,严重威胁我国小麦主产区的小麦产量和品质。利用通用引物对甘肃、河南、安徽禾谷孢囊线虫群体28SrDNA-D2/D3区和rDNA-ITS区进行PCR扩增和序列测定,利用UPG-MA方法分析了甘肃省7个种群、河南1个种群、安徽1个种群的禾谷孢囊线虫群体D2/D3区和ITS区的系统发育关系;用9种限制性内切酶对7个甘肃禾谷孢囊线虫群体的rDNA-ITS区进行了RFLP分析。结果表明:中国甘肃的禾谷孢囊线虫rDNA-D2/D3区片段长度约为780bp,rDNA-ITS片段长度约为1040bp。7个甘肃禾谷孢囊线虫群体、1个河南安阳群体、1个安徽蚌埠群体的D2/D3区和新西兰的H.aucklandica群体亲缘关系很近;其ITS区同澳大利亚的H.australis、北京通州的H.avenae(AY148382)的亲缘关系很接近。RFLP分析表明,9种限制性内切酶酶切禾谷孢囊线虫群体的rDNA-ITS共产生了22个酶切片段,不同酶切的RFLP分布型在7个种群间没有差异。甘肃省禾谷孢囊线虫群体的rDNA-ITS区具有高度的保守性,与中国的C型群体相近,但不同于欧洲的A型群体和印度的B型群体。这是首次报道甘肃CCN种群分子特征。     

New Group 16SrIII Phytoplasma Lineages in Lithuania Exhibit rRNA Interoperon Sequence Heterogeneity

Previously undescribed phytoplasmas were detected in diseased plants of dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) exhibiting virescence of flowers, thistle (Cirsium arvense) exhibiting symptoms of white leaf, and a Gaillardia sp. exhibiting symptoms of stunting and phyllody in Lithuania. On the basis of restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of 16S rDNA amplified in PCR, the dandelion virescence (DanVir), cirsium whiteleaf (CirWL), and gaillardia phyllody (GaiPh) phytoplasmas were classified in phylogenetic group 16SrIII (X-disease phytoplasma group), new subgroups III-P and III-R and subgroup III-B, respectively. RFLP and nucleotide sequence analyses revealed 16S rRNA interoperon sequence heterogeneity in the two rRNA operons, rrnA and rrnB, of both DanVir and CirWL. Results from phylogenetic analysis based on nucleotide sequences of 16S rDNA were consistent with recognition of the two new subgroups as representatives of distinct new lineages within the group 16SrIII phytoplasma subclade. The branching order of rrnA and rrnB sequences in the phylogenetic tree supported this interpretation and indicated recent common ancestry of the two rRNA operons in each of the phytoplasmas exhibiting interoperon heterogeneity.     

Molecular diagnosis of trichodorid species from Portugal

A PCR‐RFLP assay was developed for the identification of trichodorid nematodes belonging to Nanidorus, Paratrichodorus and Trichodorus genera. Using the variability of the 18S SSU rDNA gene, this method provides a new molecular diagnosis tool which allows identification within mixed samples of trichodorid and non‐trichodorid species, differentiation of juveniles, and represents an alternative to the difficult and time consuming phenotyping of similar species. Based on the alignment of previously obtained 18S rDNA nucleotide sequences of trichodorids from Portugal, a pair of selective primers was designed in conserved regions to allow the amplification of a variable region located at the 3′ end of the gene in all known Portuguese species. The 615 bp PCR product showed nucleotide variability enabling the generation of restriction fragment patterns which were consistent among populations of the same species but allowed discrimination of trichodorids at the species level. The proposed protocol was tested and proved effective with 12 trichodorid species from Portugal (N. minor, P. allius, P. anemones, P. divergens, P. hispanus, P. pachydermus, P. porosus, T. beirensis, T. lusitanicus, T. primitivus and two other Trichodorus species, A and B) and six non‐indigenous trichodorid populations (N. minor, P. allius, P. anemones, P. pachydermus, P. porosus and T. primitivus).     

Characterization of Longidorus helveticus (Nematoda: Longidoridae) from the Czech Republic

Longidorus helveticus was found at two out of 285 sampling sites for the first time in the Czech Republic. Females, males and juvenile stages were analyzed morphologically and morphometrically. The morphological identification of samples was verified by polymerase chain reaction using a species specific primer. Four markers of ribosomal DNA (18S, ITS1, ITS2, D2-D3 expansion segments of 28S rRNA) and two markers of mitochondrial DNA (cox1 and nad4) were sequenced and analyzed and compared with published gene sequences of other populations of L. helveticus. The partial mitochondrial cytochrome c-oxidase subunit 1 gene and partial nicotinamide dehydrogenase subunits 4 gene showed relatively high genetic variation within the species compared with ribosomal DNA markers.

 短体属线虫(Pratylenchus Flipjev,1936)又称根腐线虫,是一类重要的迁移性植物内寄生线虫,世界范围内分布广泛且危害性大,在我国多个省份皆有发生危害。本文采用改进的贝尔曼漏斗法从河南省商丘市、荥阳市和洛阳市的3个玉米土壤样品中分离出根腐线虫,利用光学显微镜进行形态学鉴定,基于rDNA的 ITS和28S D2-D3区序列以及mtDNA-COI序列对供试根腐线虫进行了分子鉴定。形态学和分子生物学鉴定结果均表明来源于商丘样品的SY-1和SY-2种群分别为咖啡短体线虫(P. coffeae)和斯克里布纳短体线虫(P. scribneri);来源于荥阳样品的XY-1种群和洛阳样品的XC-250种群,均为斯克里布纳短体线虫(P. scribneri)。基于rDNA-ITS、28S D2-D3区和mtDNA-COI序列构建的系统进化树结果与已知鉴定结果相一致,本研究鉴定的短体线虫种类,分别单独聚类在各自分支。本研究明确了河南省玉米田3个病样品的病原种类,发现采自商丘的病样品存在两种根腐线虫复合侵染的现象,且3个病样品均发现斯克里布纳短体线虫(P. scribneri)的存在,研究结果为玉米根腐线虫病害的识别与防控提供了一定的科学依据。     

Phylogenetic analysis of the citrus Huanglongbing (HLB) bacterium based on the sequences of 16S rDNA and 16S/23S rDNA intergenic regions among isolates in China

Phylogenetic analysis of Chinese isolates of the citrus Huanglongbing (HLB) bacterium based on the 16S rDNA and 16S/23S rDNA intergenic regions sequences was carried out. Nine HLB samples collected from different hosts with different symptoms in seven Chinese provinces, were subjected to PCR for amplifying and sequencing the 16S rDNA. The identity level among Chinese isolates was 98.5% to 100% and was the same with the Indian HLB isolate ‘Poona’ (GenBank accession number: L22532). By contrast, identity values were 97.5% to 97.8% with Candidatus Liberibacter africanus strain ‘Nelspruit’ (L22533), 96.3% to 97.3% with Ca. L. africanus subsp. ‘Capensis’ (AF137368), 95.3% to 96.5% with the Ca. Liberibacter sp. ‘LSg2’ (AY919312), and 94.9% to 96.0% with a strain of Ca. L. americanus from Brazil (São Paulo State; AY742824). A phylogenetic tree constructed with 16S rDNA sequences showed that all Chinese isolates belong to Ca. L. asiaticum. Analysis of the 16S/23S rDNA intergenic region was conducted on 18 HLB-diseased citrus samples with different symptoms, collected in seven provinces. These isolates showed no obvious variation and had an identity level >99.0% with one another. Sequence analysis of 16S/23S rDNA intergenic region and the relative phylogenetic tree showed that the Chinese isolates are very close to Ca. L. asiaticus, and distinct from Ca. L. africanus and Ca. L. americanus. These results suggest that the Chinese HLB isolates belong to the species Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus. This is the first report on the classification of HLB isolates from China based on molecular investigations.

Morphological and molecular analysis of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Paratrichodorus teres</Emphasis> (Hooper 1962) (Nematoda: Trichodoridae): a groundwork for discussion on the phylogeny and pathogenicity of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Paratrichodorus</Emphasis> species

Due to its ability to transmit plant viruses, Paratrichodorus teres (Hooper in Nematologica, 7, 273–280, 1962) is recognized as an economically important trichodorid species. Morphological and molecular analyses (18S and 28S rDNA) were performed, and 10 new plant hosts are reported for Polish P. teres populations. Major morphological features and the measurements obtained for the investigated specimens were within the wide ranges indicated for this species. However, a more detailed comparative analysis of Polish and Iranian P. teres showed significant morphological differences, particularly, in the shape and the structure of the walls of pars proximalis vaginae and the shape of the rectum.Phylogenetic study based on the 18S rDNA data suggests positioning of the Polish P. teres sequences within a cluster of sequences originating from the Netherlands. A comparison of the 28S rDNA fragment from Polish populations with the only P. teres 28S rDNA sequence available (from Iran) in GenBank revealed a sequence variability of 9.3%. The variation across these two representatives was higher than in the case of many other pairs of Trichodoridae species. The results obtained on the Polish P. teres specimens are discussed in the framework of the species taxonomy and phylogenetic relationships.

Molecular characterization of a phytoplasma causing Phyllody in Clover and other herbaceous hosts in Northern Italy

Red clover (Trifolium pratense) and Ladino clover (Trifolium repens) plants showing phytoplasma-associated symptoms (yellowing/reddening, virescence and phyllody) have been recovered in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy. Using AluI RFLP analysis of PCR amplified 16S rDNA we showed that the disease can be caused independently by two phylogenetically distinct phytoplasmas. One of them showed the very typical 16S rDNA RFLP pattern of the agent of Clover Phyllody in Canada (CCPh). The 16S rDNA of the other phytoplasma (Italian Clover Phyllody phytoplasma, ICPhp) has been PCR amplified, cloned and sequenced. The sequence revealed high similarity (>98%) with phytoplasmas belonging to the X disease cluster, which includes organisms not reported to cause phyllody on their hosts. The analysis by AluI RFLP of the PCR amplified pathogen 16S rDNA from other herbaceous plants (Crepis biennis, Taraxacum officinale, Leucanthemum vulgare) collected nearby with phytoplasma-associated symptoms showed similar patterns. Southern blot hybridization of their EcoRI digested total DNA revealed identical RFLP patterns, suggesting that the causative agent may be the same organism.Abbreviations PCR Polymerase Chain Reaction - rDNA gene for the small subunit ribosomal RNA - RFLP Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism
