Phytoalexins are antibiotic compounds synthesized in an infected plant in response to infection. Nematodes are capable of eliciting phytoalexins in resistant plants. Resistant lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus) infected by Pratylenchus penetrans produces the phytoalexin coumestrol; soybean (Glycine max) infected by Meloidogyne incognita produces glyceollin; cotton (Gossypium hirsuturn) infected by M. incognita produces terpenoid aldehydes.

Isolation, Morphological and Molecular-Phenological Identification of Nematophagous Fungi Inhabiting the Soils of Agricultural Lands in Southern Kazakhstan.
J Fungi (Basel)
January 2025
Faculty of Biology and Biotechnology, Al-Fabari Kazakh National University, Almaty 050040, Kazakhstan.
The aim of the present research is the isolation and morphological and molecular-phenological identification of nematophagous fungi of Southern Kazakhstan for the production of effective bionematicides on their basis. Nematophagous fungi, which include nematode-trapping, ovicidal, endoparasitic, toxin-producing, and special substance-producing fungi, are among the most effective biological agents in controlling phytoparasitic nematodes. To isolate and characterize nematophagous fungi, soil samples were collected at 12 sites in three regions of Southern Kazakhstan.

Research on nematode management globally highlights the use of nematicidal biomolecules and biocontrol agents. However, the availability of biomolecules to manage plant-parasitic nematodes remains limited. The discovery of microbial biomolecules offers new opportunities in this field, though they are underexplored for suppressing nematodes.

Article Synopsis
- The increased focus on biological pesticides for crop protection has led to studying Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) and its toxic proteins against harmful root-knot nematodes.
- In laboratory tests, proteins Cry5, Cry21, App6, and Xpp55 showed high levels of toxicity against root-knot nematodes M. incognita and M. javanica.
- However, in field tests with cucumber and tomato plants, the effectiveness of the Bt proteins varied by plant type, suggesting that how these proteins are delivered is critical for their pest control success.
