Detection of Meloidogyne incognita and Pochonia chlamydosporia by fluorogenic molecular probes*

Fluorescent molecular probes were applied for detection of the plant parasitic nematode Meloidogyne incognita and the nematode‐egg parasitic fungus Pochonia chlamydosporia var. chlamydosporia. A region in the M. incognita rDNA including ITS2 was selected for amplification and recognition with a real‐time PCR assay, based on a combination of three specific motifs, each recognized by a specific fluorescent probe. Similarly, a Scorpion probe was designed for the RT‐PCR quantification of P. c. chlamydosporia. For this purpose, the ITS‐2 rDNA gene of the fungus was sequenced from a number of Italian isolates. A conserved region unique for P. c. chlamydosporia found in the ITS‐2 rDNA gene was used. The probes allowed recognition of single juveniles of M. incognita and of the mycelium‐ or soil‐extracted fungal DNA. The potentialities of the detection procedures are discussed.

Host–parasite relationships of Meloidogyne incognita on spinach

Host–parasite relationships in root-knot disease of spinach caused by Meloidogyne incognita race 1 were studied under glasshouse conditions. Nematode-induced mature galls were large and usually contained one or more females and egg masses with eggs. Feeding sites were characterized by the development of giant cells containing granular cytoplasm and many hypertrophied nuclei. The cytoplasm in these giant cells was aggregated alongside the thickened cell walls. Stelar tissues within galls appeared disorganized. The relationship between initial nematode population density ( P _i) in a series from 0–128 eggs and second-stage juveniles per cm³ soil and growth of spinach cv. Symphony F₁ seedlings was tested under glasshouse conditions. A Seinhorst model [ y = m  + (1 −  m ) z ^P–T ] was fitted to fresh top- and total plant-weight data for inoculated and control plants. Tolerance limits ( T ) of spinach cv. Symphony F₁ to M. incognita race 1 for fresh top and total plant weights were 0·25 and 0·5 eggs and second-stage juveniles per cm³ soil, respectively. The minimum relative values for fresh top and total plant weights were zero in both cases at P _i ≥ 32 eggs and second-stage juveniles per cm³ soil. Root galling was least at low initial population densities and greatest at 16 eggs and second-stage juveniles per cm³ soil. Maximum nematode reproduction rate was 33·1-fold at the lowest P _i.

Reactions of Cowpea to Meloidogyne incognita in Eastern Nigeria

Abstract

One hundred and three cultivars of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) were rated in replicated trials in the field and glasshouse for their reactions to the root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita. Forty-one cultivars consistently showed some resistance to the nematode in both field and glasshouse trials; 25 were consistently susceptible and the remaining 37 were inconsistent.     

温度和湿度对南方根结线虫存活的影响

在实验室条件下,测试了不同温度处理对离体南方根结线虫存活的影响,结果表明,在25、30、35℃和40℃下,杀死90%以上离体南方根结线虫分别需要30d(100%)、26d(96.6%)、24d(94.1%)和9d(99.6%),而45、50℃下则需要15min和2.3min。同时测试了不同温湿度处理对土壤中南方根结线虫存活的影响,结果表明,25、30℃是土壤中根结线虫的适宜温度,当土壤含水量为14%时,40d死亡率分别为91.1%、90.4%;35℃线虫处于抑制状态,40d死亡率为85.3%;而线虫对40℃以上的高温敏感,随着处理温度升高,杀死线虫所需时间缩短。根结线虫在不同温湿度下的死亡情况不同,土壤温度为25～35℃,土壤含水量为6%是线虫的适宜湿度;土壤温度达到40℃且含水量为6%和14%时,杀死100%根结线虫仅需4d,不利于其存活;而50℃的高温和含水量达18%的高湿更不利于其存活。     

Nematode quantitative resistance conferred by the pepper genetic background presents additive effects and is stable against different isolates of Meloidogyne incognita

Root‐knot nematodes (RKNs), Meloidogyne spp., are a major disease problem in solanaceous crops worldwide, including pepper (Capsicum spp.). Genetic control provides an economically and environmentally sustainable protection alternative to soil fumigants. In pepper, resistance to the main RKN species (M. incognita, M. javanica and M. arenaria) is conferred by the major genes (R genes) Me1, Me3 and N. However, RKNs are able to develop virulence, thus endangering the efficiency of R genes. Quantitative resistance (QR) against Meloidogyne spp. is expected to provide an alternative to R genes, or to be combined with R genes, to increase the resistance efficiency and durability in pepper. In order to explore the ability of QR to protect pepper against RKNs, five pepper inbred lines, differing in their QR level, were tested directly, or after combination with the Me1 and Me3 genes, for their resistance to a panel of M. arenaria, M. javanica and M. incognita isolates. The M. arenaria and M. javanica isolates showed low pathogenicity to pepper, unlike the M. incognita isolates. The QR, controlled by the pepper genetic background, displayed a high resistance level with a broad spectrum of action, protecting pepper against Me3‐virulent as well as avirulent M. incognita isolates. The QR was also expressed when combined with the Me1 and Me3 genes, but presented additive genetic effects so that heterozygous F₁ hybrids proved less resistant than homozygous inbred lines. The discovery of this QR is expected to provide promising applications for preserving the efficiency and durability of nematode resistance.     

无机化合物对南方根结线虫作用方式的研究

Long-term biological effectiveness of Pochonia chlamydosporia var. catenulata against Meloidogyne incognita infection in a crop rotation systemi

The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of Pochonia chlamydosporia var. catenulata and the bacteria Tsukamurella paurometabola strain C-924 (HeberNem?), to control Meloidogyne incognita infection in a crop rotation system (cucumber, tomato and pepper) under greenhouse production during six crop cycles. We determined gall index, prevalence, intensity of disease, and number of juvenile nematodes in soil. At the end of the sixth cycle, plants protected with P. chlamydosporia showed a reduction in gall index (≤2), prevalence, and median (42%) intensity of disease similar or more pronounced than those observed in plants protected with T. paurometabola (80%). Both treatments were more efficient at reducing galling than at reducing prevalence and therefore reduction of intensity of disease was mainly due to the reduction in galling. The hydrolytic activity of P. chlamydosporia and its resistant spores make this fungus one of the best options for the long-term control of RKNs by decreasing egg masses or galls. Pochonia chlamydosporia var. catenulata is an important part of a potential biological control strategy in rotation systems of vegetable crop and can be used for long-time IPM strategies in Cuba and the Caribbean.     

Nematicidal activity of anion transport blockers against Meloidogyne incognita, Caenorhabditis elegans and Heterorhabditis bacteriophora

BACKGROUND: Because methyl bromide has been phased out as a soil sterilant, new nematicides are urgently needed. Four different chemical classes of organic acids acting as anion transport (AT) blockers were tested against a free-living nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans Maupas, a plant-parasitic nematode, Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid and White) Chitwood, and an entomopathogenic nematode, Heterorhabditis bacteriophora Poinar, in toxicity bioassays. The materials tested were DIDS (4,4'-diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid), 9-AC (anthracene-9-carboxylic acid), NPPB [5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino)benzoic acid] and IAA-94 (indanyloxyacetic acid). RESULTS: All the compounds showed slowly developing nematicidal activity against second-stage juveniles of M. incognita and adults of C. elegans, but not against H. bacteriophora infective-stage juveniles. The LC(50) values of these compounds were < 50 mg L(-1) after 48 and 72 h incubation, while at 168 h incubation the LC(50) values were < 10 mg L(-1) for both sensitive species. Across both species and time, the LC(50) values generally differed no more than twofold among the four compounds tested in this study. In contrast, none of the compounds (200 mg L(-1)) caused more than control mortality to H. bacteriophora, even after 168 h of incubation. CONCLUSION: These compounds are potential leads for commercial nematicides. The insensitivity to H. bacteriophora is consistent with the natural exposure of this nematode to DST (3,5-dihydroxy-4-isopropylstilbene), a stilbene produced by its symbiotic bacterium. Based on the known activity of the compounds used in this study, it is suggested that anion transporters form the probable target sites for DIDS, 9-AC, NPPB and IAA-94 in nematodes.
