2003 review

Interactions between bacteria and plant-parasitic nematodes: now and then

[Review of ]. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL FOR PARASITOLOGY, 33(11), 1269–1276.

By: D. Bird n, C. Opperman n & K. Davies*

Contributors: D. Bird n, C. Opperman n & K. Davies*

author keywords: horizontal gene transfer; Meloidogyne; Pasteuria penetrans; rhizobia; root-knot nematode; synteny
MeSH headings : Animals; Bacillus / genetics; Bacillus / physiology; Gene Transfer, Horizontal; Genes, Bacterial; Genes, Helminth; Life Cycle Stages; Plants / parasitology; Rhizobiaceae / genetics; Rhizobiaceae / physiology; Synteny; Tylenchoidea / genetics; Tylenchoidea / parasitology; Tylenchoidea / physiology
TL;DR: It is proposed that the origin of parasitism in Meloidogyne may have been facilitated by acquisition of genetic material from soil bacteria through horizontal transfer, and that such events represented key steps in speciation of plant-parasitic nematodes. (via Semantic Scholar)

Development and evaluation of a standard method for screening for resistance to Radopholus similis in bananas

PLANT DISEASE, 84(6), 689–693.

By: D. Marin*, K. Barker n, D. Kaplan*, T. Sutton* & C. Opperman n

author keywords: Cavendish; Musa AAA; nematode resistance
TL;DR: Assessments of total-root necrosis associated with this pathogen were comparable between greenhouse and field conditions, however, nematode effects on the roots were more severe in the greenhouse test than in the field, and root necrosis was relatively high in the two resistant cultivars tested in a greenhouse trial.
