Temperature Effects on Expression Levels of Genes in Eggs and Second-Stage Juveniles of Chitwood, 1949.

is one of the most important nematode pathogens. It is a sedentary, biotrophic parasite of plants that overwinters in the soil or in diseased roots. The development of is temperature dependent.

Effect of Vicia sativa L. on Motility, Mortality and Expression Levels of hsp Genes in J2 Stage of Meloidogyne hapla.

Assuming that the seeds of L. have a stressful effect on J2 stage , we undertook research on the effect of these seeds on the motility and mortality of J2 and determined the expression levels of selected genes in J2. The assessment of the effect of seeds on the motility of specimens consisted of observing the movement of J2 immersed in a seed diffusate or in a tomato root filtrate at temperatures of 10, 17, and 21°C.

Description of Pratylenchoides ojcowensis sp. nov. (Nematoda: Merlinidae) from Polish Jurassic Highland.

A new species of the genus Pratylenchoides has been described. It was found in Polish Jurassic Highland, in Ojców National Park. Pratylenchoides ojcowensis sp.

Suppression of NGB and NAB/ERabp1 in tomato modifies root responses to potato cyst nematode infestation.

Plant-parasitic nematodes cause significant damage to major crops throughout the world. The small number of genes conferring natural plant resistance and the limitations of chemical control require the development of new protective strategies. RNA interference or the inducible over-expression of nematicidal genes provides an environment-friendly approach to this problem.

A fast and sensitive method for the simultaneous identification of three important nematode species of the genus Ditylenchus.

Background: Nematodes of the genus Ditylenchus are parasites of a wide range of hosts, including higher plants. The most destructive of these species are D. dipsaci and D.

TaqMan REAL-Time PCR-based approach for differentiation between Globodera rostochiensis (golden nematode) and Globodera artemisiae species.

Cyst nematodes from the genus Globodera are common, and widely distributed parasites of Solaraceae. Intact cysts persist in soil even up to 10 years without detriment. Out of two Globodera species occurring in Poland, Globodera rostochiensis is considered by European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization (EPPO) as a quarantine pest, while Globodera artemisiae is not.
