Abstract Nematodes are important components of terrestrial ecosystems. There is currently limited understanding how soil nematode communities altered by non-native vegetation encroachment. The spatial turnover was studied on Ascension Island in the South Atlantic: an isolated and degraded volcanic island sparse native vegetation. Many plants were introduced mid-1800’s, shrubs have more recently spread across lowlands. Ascension’s elevation gradient represented a unique space-for-time proxy...
Abstract In this work, a new terrestrial cyanobacterial species, Oculatella lusitanica LEGE 161147, was isolated and characterized using polyphasic approach. Morphologically, O . shares characteristics with different species (mainly crustae - formantes ), lacking distinctive features. However, the phylogeny based on 16S rRNA gene sequence 16S-23S ITS secondary structures support establishment of isolate as species. O. is placed within clade mainly composed by other strains; however, it forms...
In October 2018, infective juveniles of Meloidogyne mali were isolated from a soil sample taken the rhizosphere elm trees (Ulmus sp.) located at one site in southern England. This surveillance work was carried out by Plant Health and Seed Inspectorate following recommendations outlined EPPO pest risk analysis for apple root-knot nematode, M. (EPPO, 4). Statutory sampling location December with populations observed infesting roots this additional (Fig. 1). Host exhibited typical large galls,...
Darmera peltata (umbrella plant or Indian rhubarb) is a perennial that prefers moist soil with partial to full shade. It has thick rhizome from which leaves emerge directly petiole and wide peltate lamina attaching centrally, forming leaf cup (Wunnenberg et al., 2021). In the UK, it grown as an ornamental plant. No report of foliar nematode infestation on D. had been recorded prior this study. An investigation by APHA Plant Health Seed Inspector found exhibiting symptoms typical...
