First report of the maize cyst nematode in Sichuan Province of Southwest China.

Maize is the largest crop planted in China. Nine species of cyst nematodes have been reported to affect maize production. Heterodera zeae, H.

First record of cyst nematode (Heterodera filipjevi) on winter wheat from Shanxi Province in North China.

Heterodera avenae, H. filipjevi, and H. laptipons are considered to be the major cyst nematode pathogens affecting most cereals and causing severe crop losses (Smiley and Yan 2015).

First report of the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita on Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge in Henan Province, China.

Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge is an important Chinese herbal medicine, mainly used to treat cardiovascular disease. At present, the planting area of S. miltiorrhiza is near 20,000 hectares in China, mainly in Shandong, Henan, Shanxi, Shaanxi and Sichuan provinces.

First record of Aphelenchoides besseyi on foxtail millet (Setaria italica) in Henan Province of China.

Aphelenchoides besseyi is one of the important plant-parasitic nematodes on rice, reducing approximate 10-20% of the rice yield annually (Jones et al. 2013). Foxtail millet (Setaria italica) has been a major cereal crop in Northern China, especially in the semi-arid areas of this region, for thousands of years.

First report of Heterodera filipjevi on winter wheat from Hebei Province in North China.

Three of the cereal cyst nematodes, Heterodera avenae, H. filipjevi and H. latipons are considered to be the most economically important cyst nematodes that affect cultivated cereals around the world.

First record of Heterodera elachista infecting rice in Henan Province of central China.

From June 2018 to November 2019, a survey for cyst-forming nematodes was conducted in rice fields in Henan Province of central China. Cysts were recovered from two rice fields (N32° 14' 048″8 and E115° 4' 008″) at Huangchuan County, leading to more intensive sampling. A further 25 soil samples were then collected with a valve bag from each of these two locations.

Characterization of Putative Effectors from the Cereal Cyst Nematode Heterodera avenae.

Few molecular details of effectors of Heterodera avenae parasitism are known. We performed a high-throughput sequencing analysis of the H. avenae transcriptome at five developmental stages.

Efficacy Evaluation of Seed-Coating Compounds Against Cereal Cyst Nematodes and Root Lesion Nematodes on Wheat.

Cereal cyst nematodes (Heterodera avenae and H. filipjevi) and root lesion nematodes (Pratylenchus spp.) have been found to infect cereals in 16 provinces of China.

Mutations in Acetylcholinesterase2 (ace2) increase the insensitivity of acetylcholinesterase to fosthiazate in the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita.

The root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita causes severe damage to continuously cropping vegetables. The control of this nematode relies heavily on organophosphate nematicides in China. Here, we described resistance to the organophosphate nematicide fosthiazate in a greenhouse-collected resistant population (RP) and a laboratory susceptible population (SP) of M.

Large-scale identification of wheat genes resistant to cereal cyst nematode Heterodera avenae using comparative transcriptomic analysis.

Background: Cereal cyst nematode Heterodera avenae, an important soil-borne pathogen in wheat, causes numerous annual yield losses worldwide, and use of resistant cultivars is the best strategy for control. However, target genes are not readily available for breeding resistant cultivars. Therefore, comparative transcriptomic analyses were performed to identify more applicable resistance genes for cultivar breeding.

Efficacy evaluation of fungus Syncephalastrum racemosum and nematicide avermectin against the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita on cucumber.

The root-knot nematode (RKN) is one of the most damaging agricultural pests.Effective biological control is need for controlling this destructive pathogen in organic farming system. During October 2010 to 2011, the nematicidal effects of the Syncephalastrum racemosum fungus and the nematicide, avermectin, alone or combined were tested against the RKN (Meloidogyne incognita) on cucumber under pot and field condition in China.
