Characterization of Pratylenchus crenatus and P. neglectus (Nematoda: Pratylenchidae) associated with wheat crop

Abstract

SummaryThe distribution of Pratylenchus species associated with wheat crops was investigated in Bohemian region of the Czech Republic. In total twelve localities were sampled. The populations were identifi ed based on morphology and morphometrics, and further characterised based on sequences of the rDNA D2/D3 region and 18S gene. Pratylenchus crenatus was present in two localities and P. neglectus in fi ve localities. At one locality both species were detected. Sequence analysis of 18S and D2/D3 region of three populations of P. crenatus reveal no variation while fi ve populations of P. neglectus differ by 0 to 0.14 % (18S) and 0.17 to 0.50 % (D2/D3).

Some Plant Parasitic Nematodes Associated With Grapevines in Thrace, Turkey

“…The morphology of Thrace populations was similar to reports of Kumari (2015) and Wu et al (2013) P. negectus was found on different host plants in Turkey including corn, potato, pepper, wheat, strawberry, grapevine and walnut (Yüksel, 1974;Borazancı, 1977;Tunçdemir, 1983;Akgül, 1996;Kepenekçi, 1999a;Kovancı et al, 2000;İmren, 2007;Erdoğuş, 2009;Tan et al, 2018).…”
