RESUMO
KEY MESSAGE: A new resistance locus acting against the potato cyst nematode Globodera pallida was mapped to chromosome VI in the diploid wild potato species Solanum spegazzinii CPC 7195. The potato cyst nematodes (PCN) Globodera pallida and Globodera rostochiensis are economically important potato pests in almost all regions where potato is grown. One important management strategy involves deployment through introgression breeding into modern cultivars of new sources of naturally occurring resistance from wild potato species. We describe a new source of resistance to G. pallida from wild potato germplasm. The diploid species Solanum spegazzinii Bitter accession CPC 7195 shows resistance to G. pallida pathotypes Pa1 and Pa2/3. A cross and first backcross of S. spegazzinii with Solanum tuberosum Group Phureja cultivar Mayan Gold were performed, and the level of resistance to G. pallida Pa2/3 was determined in progeny clones. Bulk-segregant analysis (BSA) using generic mapping enrichment sequencing (GenSeq) and genotyping-by-sequencing were performed to identify single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that are genetically linked to the resistance, using S. tuberosum Group Phureja clone DM1-3 516 R44 as a reference genome. These SNPs were converted into allele-specific PCR assays, and the resistance was mapped to an interval of roughly 118 kb on chromosome VI. This newly identified resistance, which we call Gpa VIlspg, can be used in future efforts to produce modern cultivars with enhanced and broad-spectrum resistances to the major pests and pathogens of potato.

The plant-parasitic root-knot nematode Meloidogyne exigua causes significant damage and is an important threat in Coffea arabica plantations. The utilization of plant-beneficial microbes as biological control agents against sedentary endoparasitic nematodes has been a longstanding strategy. However, their application in field conditions to control root-knot nematodes and their interaction with the rhizospheric microbiota of coffee plants remain largely unexplored. This study aimed to investigate the effects of biological control agent-based bioproducts and a chemical nematicide, used in various combinations, on the control of root-knot nematodes and the profiling of the coffee plant rhizomicrobiome in a field trial. The commercially available biological products, including Trichoderma asperellum URM 5911 (Quality), Bacillus subtilis UFPEDA 764 (Rizos), Bacillus methylotrophicus UFPEDA 20 (Onix), and nematicide Cadusafos (Rugby), were applied to adult coffee plants. The population of second-stage juveniles (J2) and eggs, as well as plant yield, were evaluated over three consecutive years. However, no significant differences were observed between the control group and the groups treated with bioproducts and the nematicide. Furthermore, the diversity and community composition of bacteria, fungi, and eukaryotes in the rhizosphere soil of bioproduct-treated plants were evaluated. The dominant phyla identified in the 16â¯S, ITS2, and 18â¯S communities included Proteobacteria, Acidobacteria, Actinobacteria, Ascomycota, Mortierellomycota, and Cercozoa in both consecutive years. There were no significant differences detected in the Shannon diversity of 16â¯S, ITS2, and 18â¯S communities between the years of data. The application of a combination of T. asperellum, B. subtilis, and B. methylotrophicus, as well as the use of Cadusafos alone and in combination with T. asperellum, B. subtilis, and B. methylotrophicus, resulted in a significant reduction (26.08%, 39.13%, and 21.73%, respectively) in the relative abundance of Fusarium spp. Moreover, the relative abundance of Trichoderma spp. significantly increased by 500%, 200%, and 100% at the genus level, respectively, compared to the control treatment. By constructing a co-occurrence network, we discovered a complex network structure among the species in all the bioproduct-treated groups. However, our findings indicate that the introduction of exogenous beneficial microbes into field conditions was unable to modulate the existing microbiota significantly. These findings suggest that the applied bioproducts had no significant impact on the reshaping of the overall microbial diversity in the rhizosphere microbiome but rather recruited selected microrganisms and assured net return to the grower. The results underscore the intricate nature of the rhizosphere microbiome and suggest the necessity for alternate biocontrol strategies and a re-evaluation of agricultural practices to improve nematode control by aligning with the complex ecological interactions in the rhizosphere.

The potato cyst nematode (Globodera rostochiensis) is an obligate root pathogen of potatoes. G. rostochiensis encodes several highly expanded effector gene families, including the Gr4D06 family; however, little is known about the function of this effector family. We cloned four 29D09 genes from G. rostochiensis (named Gr29D09v1/v2/v3/v4) that share high sequence similarity and are homologous to the Hg29D09 and Hg4D06 effector genes from the soybean cyst nematode (Heterodera glycines). Phylogenetic analysis revealed that Gr29D09 genes belong to a subgroup of the Gr4D06 family. We showed that Gr29D09 genes are expressed exclusively within the nematode's dorsal gland cell and are dramatically upregulated in parasitic stages, indicating involvement of Gr29D09 effectors in nematode parasitism. Transgenic potato lines overexpressing Gr29D09 variants showed increased susceptibility to G. rostochiensis. Transient expression assays in Nicotiana benthamiana demonstrated that Gr29D09v3 could suppress reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and defense gene expression induced by flg22 and cell death mediated by immune receptors. These results suggest a critical role of Gr29D09 effectors in defense suppression. The use of affinity purification coupled with nanoliquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry identified potato hexokinase 1 (StHXK1) as a candidate target of Gr29D09. The Gr29D09-StHXK1 interaction was further confirmed using in planta protein-protein interaction assays. Plant HXKs have been implicated in defense regulation against pathogen infection. Interestingly, we found that StHXK1 could enhance flg22-induced ROS production, consistent with a positive role of plant HXKs in defense. Altogether, our results suggest that targeting StHXK1 by Gr29D09 effectors may impair the positive function of StHXK1 in plant immunity, thereby aiding nematode parasitism.

BACKGROUND: Meloidogyne incognita greatly restricts the production of protected vegetables in China. Application of biocontrol agent Purpureocillium lilacinum is an important practice to control the nematode; however, instability usually occurs especially in heavily infested field. This study aimed to illustrate the high efficiency of P. lilacinum agent with fumigant Dazomet in vitro. RESULTS: P. lilacinum YES-2-14 showed strong parasitic and nematicidal activities to M. incognita. Pre-treatment with Dazomet significantly enhanced the biocontrol effects of the fungus. After fumigation with Dazomet at a dosage of 7.5 mg kg- 1 soil, parasitism of YES-2-14 on M. incognita eggs increased by more than 50%. Meanwhile, when P. lilacinum fermentation filtrate treated following Dazomet fumigation at 10 and 20 mg kg- 1 soil, the mortalities of second-stage juveniles (J2s) increased by 110.2% and 72.7%, respectively. Both Dazomet and P. lilacinum significantly reduced the penetration ability of J2s to tomato roots. When P. lilacinum filtrate used alone, the J2s penetrating into the young roots decreased by 48.8% at 4 dpi; while in the combined treatment, almost no J2 was detected within the roots at 4 dpi and the number of knots reduced by more than 99% at 45 dpi, indicating a synergistic effect of the biocontrol fungus and fumigant. CONCLUSIONS: Pre-treatment with Dazomet greatly increased the biocontrol efficacy of P. lilacinum to M. incognita. This research provides insight into the efficient management of plant parasitic nematodes and effective use of biocontrol agents.

Potato cyst nematodes (PCNs) are major pests worldwide that affect potato production. The molecular changes happening in the roots upon PCN infection are still unknown. Identification of transcripts and genes governing PCN resistance will help in the development of resistant varieties. Hence, differential gene expression of compatible (Kufri Jyoti) and incompatible (JEX/A-267) potato genotypes was studied before (0 DAI) and after (10 DAI) inoculation of Globodera rostochiensis J2s through RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq). Total sequencing reads generated ranged between 33 and 37 million per sample, with a read mapping of 48-84% to the potato reference genome. In the infected roots of the resistant genotype JEX/A-267, 516 genes were downregulated, and 566 were upregulated. In comparison, in the susceptible genotype Kufri Jyoti, 316 and 554 genes were downregulated and upregulated, respectively. Genes encoding cell wall proteins, zinc finger protein, WRKY transcription factors, MYB transcription factors, disease resistance proteins, and pathogenesis-related proteins were found to be majorly involved in the incompatible reaction after PCN infection in the resistant genotype, JEX/A-267. Furthermore, RNA-Seq results were validated through quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR), and it was observed that ATP, FLAVO, CYTO, and GP genes were upregulated at 5 DAI, which was subsequently downregulated at 10 DAI. The genes encoding ATP, FLAVO, LBR, and GP were present in > 1.5 fold before infection in JEX-A/267 and upregulated 7.9- to 27.6-fold after 5 DAI; subsequently, most of these genes were downregulated to 0.9- to 2.8-fold, except LBR, which was again upregulated to 44.4-fold at 10 DAI.

The nematicidal activity of buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) on the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita was tested. Dried plant methanol extract presented higher nematicidal activity than fresh plant extracts with an EC50 = 62.6 ± 26.0 and 40.8 ± 26.1 µg/ml after 48 and 72 hours of immersion, respectively. GC-MS analysis showed the presence of 17 aldehydes, with salicylaldehyde (o-hydroxybenzaldehyde) being the most abundant at 16%. Nematicidal activity of the latter refers to salicylaldehyde and other aldehydes with chemical similarities was then assessed. The most active aldehyde was o-hydroxybenzaldehyde followed by m-hydroxybenzaldehyde, p-hydroxybenzaldehyde and benzeneacetaldehyde with an EC50 of about 11.0 ± 1.0, 31.0 ± 22.0, 75.0 ± 23.0 and 168.1 ± 52.3 µg/ml after 1 day of immersion, respectively. Position 2 of the hydroxyl group in the benzene ring seems to be very important for the nematicidal activity, followed by positions 3 and 4. As a complementary experiment, synergistic activity was observed when we added o-hydroxybenzaldehyde to m-hydroxybenzaldehyde and to p-hydroxybenzaldehyde with an EC50 after 24 hours of immersion of 8.0 ± 2.5 and 6.1 ± 2.3 µg/ml, respectively. Antioxidant activity assessment showed that this latter is inversely proportional to nematicidal activity. Our results showed that F. esculentum and its major compound salicylaldehyde could be integrated into the pest management system.

Meloidogyne incognita is considered the most damaging and common root-knot nematode to numerous host plants worldwide. During a survey of nematodes in Vietnam, 1,106 samples from 22 different plant species were collected. M. incognita was recorded on 13 of the 22 host plants. Four populations of M. incognita from four host plants were chosen for comparison and confirmation of their morphologic, morphometric, and molecular characteristics. Genetically based phylogenetic trees were constructed to show relationships among root-knot nematodes. Molecular barcodes of four gene regions, ITS, D2-D3 of 28S rRNA, COI, and Nad5 mtDNA, integrated with morphologic and morphometric data were used as reliable references for molecular identification of M. incognita. Our analyses indicated that tropical root-knot nematodes are very similar in characterization of ITS, D2-D3 of 28S rRNA, and COI regions. However, these gene regions can be used to separate the tropical root-knot nematode group from other groups. On the other hand, the analysis of Nad5 mtDNA and multiplex-PCR with specific primers can be used to distinguish tropical species.

Root-knot nematodes (RKNs) are infamous plant pathogens in tomato production, causing considerable losses in agriculture worldwide. Mi-1 is the only commercially available RKN-resistance gene; however, the resistance is inactivated when the soil temperature is over 28 °C. Mi-9 in wild tomato (Solanum arcanum LA2157) has stable resistance to RKNs under high temperature but has not been cloned and applied. In this study, a chromosome-scale genome assembly of S. arcanum LA2157 was constructed through Nanopore and Hi-C sequencing. Based on molecular markers of Mi-9 and comparative genomic analysis, the localization region and candidate Mi-9 genes cluster consisting of seven nucleotide-binding sites and leucine-rich repeat (NBS-LRR) genes were located. Transcriptional expression profiles confirmed that five of the seven candidate genes were expressed in root tissue. Moreover, virus-induced gene silencing of the Sarc_034200 gene resulted in increased susceptibility of S. arcanum LA2157 to Meloidogyne incognita, and genetic transformation of the Sarc_034200 gene in susceptible Solanum pimpinellifolium conferred significant resistance to M. incognita at 25 °C and 30 °C and showed hypersensitive responses at nematode infection sites. This suggested that Sarc_034200 is the Mi-9 gene. In summary, we cloned, confirmed and applied the heat-stable RKN-resistance gene Mi-9, which is of great significance to tomato breeding for nematode resistance.

The potato cyst nematode (PCN), Globodera pallida, has acquired significant importance throughout Europe due to its widespread prevalence and negative effects on potato production. Thus, rapid and reliable diagnosis of PCN is critical during surveillance programs and for the implementation of control measures. The development of innovative technologies to overcome the limitations of current methodologies in achieving early detection is needed. Lab-on-a-chip devices can swiftly and accurately detect the presence of certain nucleotide sequences with high sensitivity and convert the presence of biological components into an understandable electrical signal by combining biosensors with microfluidics-based biochemical analysis. In this study, a specific DNA-probe sequence and PCR primers were designed to be used in a magnetoresistive biosensing platform to amplify the internal transcribed spacer region of the ribosomal DNA of G. pallida. Magnetic nanoparticles were used as the labelling agents of asymmetric PCR product through biotin−streptavidin interaction. Upon target hybridization to sensor immobilized oligo probes, the fringe field created by the magnetic nanoparticles produces a variation in the sensor's electrical resistance. The detection signal corresponds to the concentration of target molecules present in the sample. The results demonstrate the suitability of the magnetic biosensor to detect PCR target product and the specificity of the probe, which consistently distinguishes G. pallida (DV/V > 1%) from other cyst nematodes (DV/V < 1%), even when DNA mixtures were tested at different concentrations. This shows the magnetic biosensor's potential as a bioanalytical device for field applications and border phytosanitary inspections.

Nonhost or poor host cover crops can provide an alternative method for nematode management. A total of 25 cover crop species/cultivars, along with three controls were evaluated in greenhouse experiments for their host suitability to the root-lesion nematode Pratylenchus penetrans. Trials were conducted in a completely randomized design using nematode-infested soil and terminated 3 months after planting. Nematodes were extracted from the roots and soil of each crop to determine their final population densities, reproductive factor (Rf = final population density/initial population density), and distributions in the soil and root habitats. Reproductive factor was used to categorize the host suitability of crops. Faba bean cv. Petite produced the greatest nematode population density in all trials, whereas only alfalfa cv. Bullseye constantly demonstrated the poor host ability to P. penetrans. Annual ryegrass, winter rye cv. ND Dylan, and white proso millet also showed poor hosts in most trials. Five cover crops consistently maintained the population throughout the experiments, with Rf values less than 2, and the remaining tested cover crops were suitable hosts for P. penetrans. The majority of the tested cover crops had less than or equal to 30% of the final population residing in the roots after three months of growth in all the trials. This research helps us gain the knowledge on cover crops and P. penetrans interaction and will be useful for potato growers to select better cover crops and avoid susceptible hosts to manage P. penetrans in infested fields to minimize potato yield losses.

Globodera pallida, the pale cyst nematode, is a regulated potato pest which is economically detrimental. Restrictions on use of the soil fumigant methyl bromide and lack of resistant russet type varieties for U.S. markets have led to investigations of alternative strategies to control this pest. The efficacy of Brassica juncea seed meal extract (SME; 0, 0.14, 0.28, 0.56, 1.12, and 2.24 t/ha) was studied, either alone or in combination with the trap crop Solanum sisymbriifolium under greenhouse and field conditions. The impact of the application of SME pre- or postplanting of S. sisymbriifolium was also determined. S. sisymbriifolium only induced hatch of G. pallida and significantly fewer (up to 57 and 55% in pre- and postplant experiments, respectively) encysted eggs remained at termination of the experiment compared with the untreated control. However, when SME was applied preplant, the encysted eggs remained unchanged, which may indicate that SME inhibited egg hatch in the presence of S. sisymbriifolium. When applied individually, S. sisymbriifolium in all experiments, or SME at all rates tested in the greenhouse or 0.56 t/ha or higher rates of SME in the field, significantly reduced the viability, hatch, and reproduction of G. pallida. Combined treatment with S. sisymbriifolium and SME at lower rates (0.14 t/ha for preplant or 0.56 t/ha or less for the greenhouse postplant experiment) reduced G. pallida egg hatch further than each strategy alone. In the field, a combination of S. sisymbriifolium and SME at 1.12 t/ha or less reduced G. pallida more effectively than SME alone. SME alone applied at higher rates (0.56 and 1.12 t/ha) in preplant greenhouse trials, whether or not combined with S. sisymbriifolium, eliminated G. pallida reproduction. Under field conditions, SME applied at a rate of 1.12 t/ha highly reduced G. pallida reproduction compared with the untreated control by 97 and 61% in 2019 and 2020, respectively. Furthermore, reproduction of G. pallida was eliminated when SME was combined with S. sisymbriifolium. Our results indicated that a combination of SME and S. sisymbriifolium reduces the amount of SME needed to control G. pallida and further decreases the potential reserve of the viable population remaining after individual treatment with each strategy.

Growth of the Chinese herbal medicine industry has resulted in several new pests and diseases. China is one of the world largest producers of monkshood (Aconitum carmichaelii Debx.), but an unidentified root-knot nematode has become a significant pest in the southwestern provinces of Yunnan and Sichuan. Morphological characteristics and the ribosomal DNA-internal transcribed spacer and D2-D3 region of the 28S ribosomal RNA gene sequences were used to identify the nematode as Meloidogyne hapla. Through investigation, this is the first report of M. hapla infecting monkshood in Yunnan and Sichuan Provinces.

Globodera pallida, a potato cyst nematode (PCN), is a quarantine endoparasitic pest of potato (Solanum tuberosum) in the US due to its effects on yield and quality of potato tubers. A new rhabdovirus, named potato cyst nematode rhabdovirus (PcRV), was revealed and characterized in the G. pallida populations collected in Idaho through use of high-throughput sequencing (HTS) and RT-PCR and found to be most closely related to soybean cyst nematode rhabdovirus (ScRV). PcRV has a 13,604 bp long, single-stranded RNA genome encoding five open reading frames, including four rhabdovirus-specific genes, N, P, G, and L, and one unknown gene. PcRV was found present in eggs, invasive second-stage juveniles, and parasitic females of G. pallida, implying a vertical transmission mode. RT-PCR and partial sequencing of PcRV in laboratory-reared G. pallida populations maintained over five years suggested that the virus is highly persistent and genetically stable. Two other Globodera spp. reproducing on potato and reported in the US, G. rostochiensis and G. ellingtonae, tested negative for PcRV presence. To the best of our knowledge, PcRV is the first virus experimentally found infecting G. pallida. Based on their similar genome organizations, the phylogeny of their RNA-dependent RNA polymerase domains (L gene), and relatively high identity levels in their protein products, PcRV and ScRV are proposed to form a new genus, provisionally named "Gammanemrhavirus", within the family Rhabdoviridae.

Potato cyst nematodes (PCNs), golden (yellow) cyst nematode (Globodera rostochiensis, gPCN) and pale (white) cyst nematode (G. pallida, pPCN), are important invasive pests in many countries and regions where they can cause significant yield and economic loss for agriculture. Prediction and identification of habitats suitable for PCNs are critical for developing biosecurity strategies, both pre and post border, to maximise the potential for early elimination should an incursion occur. To date, the potential global distribution of PCNs has not been thoroughly studied. Therefore, this study conducted a species distribution model to illustrate the potential global distribution of PCNs and risk regions. In this study, the Maximum Entropy Model (Maxent) associated with the Geographic Information System (GIS) was employed to reveal the potential distribution of the gPCN and pPCN. In addition to bioclimate, soil quality was also included in the model. The global cultivated lands, whether the susceptible hosts were present or not, were used to assess the maximum potential risk regions. The limitation factors for PCNs distribution were also assessed. Results showed that 66% of the global land surface was suitable for gPCN or pPCN or both, and both species can colonise more than 75% of the global cultivated lands. The coldest quarter's mean temperature and precipitation were critical limitations in unsuitable regions. In summary, the global risk maps of PCNs contribute valuable additional information that complements previous national/regional distribution predictions. The results of this distribution research will contribute practical support for decision-makers and practitioners to implement biosecurity strategies from a global perspective, that incorporate prevention or promptly enforce control practices to limit the damage caused by future incursions.

Plant-parasitic cyst nematodes (Heterodera and Globodera spp.) secrete CLAVATA3/EMBRYO SURROUNDING REGION-RELATED (CLE) effector proteins, which act as ligand mimics of plant CLE peptides to promote successful nematode infection. Previous studies of the Arabidopsis-beet cyst nematode (BCN; H. schachtii) pathosystem showed that Arabidopsis CLE receptors including CLAVATA1 (CLV1), CLV2, and RECEPTOR-LIKE PROTEIN KINASE 2 (RPK2) are required for BCN CLE signaling. Studies further revealed that nematode CLE signaling through GmCLV2 and StCLV2, an Arabidopsis CLV2 orthologue from soybean (Glycines max) and potato (Solanum tuberosum), respectively, is required for the soybean cyst nematode (SCN; H. glycines) and the potato cyst nematode (PCN; G. rostochiensis) to induce disease in their respective host plant. In this study, we identified and characterized two additional potato receptors, StRPK2 and StCLV1, homologues of Arabidopsis RPK2 and CLV1, for a role in PCN parasitism. Using promoter-reporter lines we showed that both StRPK2 and StCLV1 are expressed in the potato root but vary in their spatial expression patterns. Interestingly, StRPK2 but not StCLV1 was found to be expressed and upregulated at PCN infection sites. Nematode infection assays on StRPK2-knockdown lines revealed a decrease in nematode infection. Collectively, our results suggest that parallel CLE signaling pathways involving StCLV2 and StRPK2 are important for PCN parasitism and that manipulation of nematode CLE signaling may represent a viable means to engineer nematode resistance in crop plants including potato.

The current study assessed the nematicidal and plant growth promoting potential of metabolites produced by Streptomyces hydrogenans strain DH-16 on morphological and physiological activities in 60 days old Solanum lycopersicum plants grown under Meloidogyne incognita stress. M. incognita infestation altered the levels of various photosynthetic pigments, various stress markers, enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants in S. lycopersicum plants grown under in-vivo conditions. However, treatment with culture cells, supernatant and extract produced by S. hydrogenans strain DH-16 significantly reduced the number of galls in M. incognita infested plants when compared with untreated M. incognita infected plants. Moreover, the culture cells/ supernatant/ extract remarkably lowered the levels of stress markers (Hydrogen peroxide and Malondialdehyde) in infected plants and enhanced the activities of non-enzymatic antioxidants (glutathione, tocopherol) and enzymatic antioxidants (Catalase, Superoxide dismutase, Ascorbate peroxidase, Guaiacol peroxidase, Gluatathione-S-transferase and Polyphenol oxidase) in metabolites treated M. incognita infected plants. The enhanced level of different photosynthetic attributes were also evaluated by studying gas exchange parameters and different plant pigments. Moreover, an increment in the content of phenolic compounds such as total phenols, anthocyanin and flavonoids were also reflected in treated and nematode infested plants. The present study also evaluated the microscopic analysis depicting cell viability, nuclear damage and hydrogen peroxide localization in differently treated plants. The outcome of the present study therefore endorses the efficacy of DH-16 as a potential biocontrol agent that help plants in mitigating M. incognita stress.

Plant-parasitic cyst nematodes use a stylet to deliver effector proteins produced in oesophageal gland cells into root cells to cause disease in plants. These effectors are deployed to modulate plant defence responses and developmental programmes for the formation of a specialized feeding site called a syncytium. The Hg2D01 effector gene, coding for a novel 185-amino-acid secreted protein, was previously shown to be up-regulated in the dorsal gland of parasitic juveniles of the soybean cyst nematode Heterodera glycines, but its function has remained unknown. Genome analyses revealed that Hg2D01 belongs to a highly diversified effector gene family in the genomes of H. glycines and the sugar beet cyst nematode Heterodera schachtii. For functional studies using the model Arabidopsis thaliana-H. schachtii pathosystem, we cloned the orthologous Hs2D01 sequence from H. schachtii. We demonstrate that Hs2D01 is a cytoplasmic effector that interacts with the intracellular kinase domain of HAESA (HAE), a cell surface-associated leucine-rich repeat (LRR) receptor-like kinase (RLK) involved in signalling the activation of cell wall-remodelling enzymes important for cell separation during abscission and lateral root emergence. Furthermore, we show that AtHAE is expressed in the syncytium and, therefore, could serve as a viable host target for Hs2D01. Infective juveniles effectively penetrated the roots of HAE and HAESA-LIKE2 (HSL2) double mutant plants; however, fewer nematodes developed on the roots, consistent with a role for this receptor family in nematode infection. Taken together, our results suggest that the Hs2D01-AtHAE interaction may play an important role in sugar beet cyst nematode parasitism.

Root-knot nematodes are one of the plant damaging nematodes in agriculture causing a projected annual yield loss of â¼12 % (â¼$160 billion) worldwide. Conventional solutions to control these plant-parasitic nematodes involve chemical nematicides. To reduce the use of harmful chemicals, microalgal extracts can be used as greener alternatives for nematode management. Microalgae produce valuable metabolites, including cyanotoxins which can aid in nematode suppression. In this study, two microalgae species, Trichormus variabilis and Nostoc punctiforme, were treated with ultrasound for intensified recovery of secondary metabolites. Ultrasound results in cell wall disruption of the microalgal species, thus resulting in enhanced release of secondary metabolites. Microalgal biomass was treated with an ultrasound probe at 50 % amplitude, 20 kHz frequency, using water as the extraction medium, for 5-30 min. The extraction efficiency was determined in terms of the total chlorophyll (Chl) content of the extract. Microscopic images of the treated cells were also investigated to gain insight into the effect of the ultrasonication time on the cell morphology. Our results suggest that ultrasonication resulted in the intensified release of secondary metabolites, as established through the total chlorophyll content of the ultrasonicated microalgal samples as well as the microscopic images of the ruptured cells. The best extraction for Trichormus variabilis was achieved with 15 min extraction time where the Total Chl content increased by 29 times (compared to the non-ultrasonicated sample), and for the Nostoc punctiforme, 30 min extraction time gave the highest metabolite recovery of 6.4 times higher than the non-ultrasonicated sample. Ultrasonicated algal extracts were then tested for their nematicidal potential against root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne hapla, in infested field soil samples. Experimental study was conducted using different concentrations of each microalga, Trichormus sp. and Nostoc sp., individually, as well as in combination. The nematode count for the treated soil was compared with that of the control (untreated soil). Ultrasonicated microalgal extracts showed 66% to 100% inhibition on root-knot nematodes in the soil samples tested.

Potato cyst nematodes (PCNs; Globodera spp.) are one of the most difficult pests of potato to manage worldwide. Indiscriminate use of pesticides and their hazardous effects discourage the use of many chemicals for the management of PCNs. As a result, biological control agents and trap crops have received more attention from growers as safer ways to manage PCNs. The biological control agents such as Pochonia chlamydosporia, Purpureocillium lilacinum, Trichoderma spp., Pseudomonas fluorescens, Bacillus spp., Pasteuria spp., and others are recognized as potential candidates for the management of PCNs. Moreover recently, the use of trap crop Solanum sisymbriifolium also showed promise by drastically reducing soil populations of PCNs. Integration of these management strategies along with other practices including identification, conservation, and multiplication of native antagonists, will facilitate efficient management of the PCNs in potato cropping system. Some of the promising research approaches that are being used against PCNs are addressed in this review. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

The rhg1-a GmSNAP18 (an α-SNAP) and Rhg4 GmSHMT08 are two major cloned genes conferring soybean cyst nematode resistance in Peking-type soybeans, but the application of α-SNAPs and SHMTs in cyst nematode management remains elusive. In this study, GmSNAP18 and GmSHMT08, together with their orthologs in Arabidopsis, AtSNAP2 (an α-SNAP) and AtSHMT4, were individually transformed into Arabidopsis Col-0 to generate the transgenic lines, and the growth of transgenic plants, beet cyst nematode (BCN) infection phenotypes, and AtSNAP2, AtSHMT4, and AtPR1 expression patterns were analyzed using Arabidopsis-BCN compatible interaction system, in addition with protein-protein interaction assay. Pulldown and BiFC assays revealed that GmSNAP18 and GmSHMT08 interacted with AtSHMT4 and AtSNAP2, respectively. Plant root growth was not impacted by overexpression of GmSNAP18 and AtSNAP2. However, overexpression of GmSHMT08 and AtSHMT4 both increased plant height, additionally, overexpression of GmSHMT08 decreased rosette leaf size. Overexpression of GmSNAP18 and GmSHMT08 both suppressed AtPR1 expression and significantly enhanced BCN susceptibility, while overexpression of AtSNAP2 and AtSHMT4 both substantially boosted AtPR1 expression and remarkably enhanced BCN resistance, in transgenic Arabidopsis. Overexpression of GmSNAP18 reduced, while overexpression of AtSNAP2 unaltered AtSHMT4 expression. Overexpression of GmSHMT08 and AtSHMT4 both suppressed AtSNAP2 expression in transgenic Arabidopsis. Thus, different expression patterns of AtPR1 and AtSHMT4 are likely associated with opposite BCN infection phenotypes of Arabidopsis between overexpressing GmSNAP18 and AtSNAP2, and between overexpressing GmSHMT08 and AtSHMT4; and boosted AtPR1 expression are required for enhanced BCN resistance in Arabidopsis. All these results establish a basis for extension of α-SNAPs and SHMTs in cyst nematode management.
