Host Suitability of Lettuce and Bean Germplasm for and Isolates from Spain.

spp. are an important threat to horticulture and cause substantial yield losses. Plant resistance is an alternative control method for chemical nematicides.

Crop rotation with -resistant germplasm is useful to manage and revert the (a)virulent populations of gene and reduce yield losses.

A rotation sequence of ungrafted and grafted tomato-melon-pepper-watermelon on resistant rootstocks 'Brigeor', , 'Oscos' and , respectively, was carried out in a plastic greenhouse, ending with a susceptible or resistant tomato crop. The rotation was conducted in plots infested by an avirulent (Avi) or a partially virulent (Vi) population to the gene. At the beginning of the study, the reproduction index (RI, relative reproduction in the resistant respect susceptible tomato) of Avi and Vi populations was 1.

Development of Microscopic Techniques for the Visualization of Plant-Root-Knot Nematode Interaction.

Plant-parasitic nematodes are a significant cause of yield losses and food security issues. Specifically, nematodes of the genus can cause significant production losses in horticultural crops around the world. Understanding the mechanisms of the ever-changing physiology of plant roots by imaging the galls induced by nematodes could provide a great insight into their control.

Tomato and Melon Resistant Rootstocks Improve Crop Yield but Melon Fruit Quality Is Influenced by the Cropping Season.

Four rotation sequences consisting of ungrafted tomato cv. Durinta - melon cv. Paloma or tomato grafted onto the resistant rootstock 'Aligator' - melon grafted onto the resistant accession BGV11135, and in reverse order, were conducted from 2015 to 2017 in a plastic greenhouse infested or not with to determine the plant tolerance (), the minimum relative crop yield () and fruit quality.

Strain I-1582, a Nematode Antagonist by Itself and Through the Plant.

I-1582 is approved in Europe for the management of on vegetable crops. However, little information about its modes of action and temperature requirements is available, despite the effect of these parameters in its efficacy. The cardinal temperatures for bacterial growth and biofilm formation were determined.
