Abstract/Contents: | "The distribution and diversity of Pratylenchus species associated with biofuel crops was investigated in Midwestern USA. The populations were identified based on morphology and morphometrics, and further characterized based on the rDNA D3A/B region of the large subunit (LSU). The root lesion nematode was present in 30 of the 73 Miscanthus and switchgrass fields sampled, with population ranging from 45-486/100 cc soil. A total of 4 Pratylenchus species were detected belonging to Pratylenchus penetrans, P. hexincisus, P. scribneri, P. brachyurus. The D3A/B rDNA region revealed large sequence variation between the different species and low sequence divergence within the same species supporting the morphometric analysis. The identification of different species of root lesion nematode associated with biofuel crops suggests that these nematodes might have significant effect on biomass yield. However, nothing is known about the effect of Pratylenchus species on biofuel crops. Therefore, it is essential to determine the relative level of pathogenicity to recommend effective control measures and to distinguish between species in diagnostic samples." |
