Abstract
A new species of the genus Ditylenchus was recovered from rhizosphere soil of a ‘TifEagle’ hybrid bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers. × C. transvaalensis (Burtt-Davy)) putting green located at the Pee Dee Research & Education Center, Clemson University, Florence, SC, USA. It is described herein as Ditylenchus dactylonae n. sp. and is characterised by possessing the combined characters of a medium body size (682-815 μm in females; 618-718 μm in males), six incisures at the lateral fields, a delicate stylet (7.6-8.0 μm) with rounded knobs, a bottle-shaped basal pharyngeal bulb (BPB), an excretory pore (EP) near anterior end of BPB, a posteriorly located vulva (V = 78-83%), a reflexed ovary, a uterus with crustaformeria anteriorly and nearly spherical structure posteriorly, a post-vulval uterine sac (30-50% of the vulva-anus distance), an elongate conoid and ventrally bent tail, a tylenchoid spicule (17-18 μm), and a leptoderan bursa. Ditylenchus dactylonae n. sp. was differentiated from other sequenced species by the partial small subunit (SSU) rRNA gene, D2-D3 expansion segments of the large subunit (LSU) rRNA gene and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) rRNA. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that D. dactylonae n. sp. belongs to the D. dipsaci-group, and is sister to D. medicaginis and/or D. ferepolitor based on SSU 18S, LSU D2-D3 and ITS sequences.
期刊介绍:
Nematology is an international journal for the publication of all aspects of nematological research (with the exception of vertebrate parasitology), from molecular biology to field studies. Papers on nematode parasites of arthropods, and on soil free-living nematodes, and on interactions of these and other organisms, are particularly welcome. Research on fresh water and marine nematodes is also considered when the observations are of more general interest.
Nematology publishes full research papers, short communications, Forum articles (which permit an author to express a view on current or fundamental subjects), perspectives on nematology, and reviews of books and other media.
