Microbial biomass was higher in the old fallow soil than in the two other soils; bacteria and fungi were more abundant in the old fallow soil, particularly fungi belonging to the genus Mucor. The soils were autoclaved and inoculated with their own soil filtrates, either sterilised or unsterilised. Millet seedlings were planted in the different soils and Helicotylenchus dihystera was added. Irrespective of the microflora treatment, the reproductive index of H. dihystera was similar in the cultivated and the one-year-old fallow soils (Pf/Pi = 20 for an inoculum of about 800 H. dihystera per dm 3 of soil) and the nematodes had no measurable effect on plant dry weight. The native microorganisms had no effect on the reproductive index of H. dihystera. Reproduction in these sandy loam soils was greater than in the old fallow soil which was a loam (Pf/Pi = 6 for an inoculum of about 800 H. dihystera per dm 3 of soil). Soil texture may explain the difference. In the loam soil of the old fallow, the reproductive index of the plant-parasitic nematodes was doubled (Pf/Pi = 8 versus 4) in the presence of the native soil microorganisms. In this treatment, the dry weight of millet was 15% less than that in the nematode-free control. The pathogenicity of H. dihystera increased in soil with a high microbial status and high population of saprophytic fungi.","PeriodicalId":18988,"journal":{"name":"Nematologica","volume":"143 1","pages":"195-206"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86183866","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The presence of carbohydrates in the hatching medium of two populations of Heterodera avenae from India and the UK was determined using Western blots probed with different biotinylated lectins. Eighteen specific bands with molecular weights in the range 12-78 kDa were detected in the hatching media collected over the six weeks hatching period. There were no differences between the two populations. The majority of the lectin bands were inhibited by the appropriate competitive sugar, indicating sugar-specific binding. Four different sugars were detected. Of the bands detected with Con A, only two were not completely inhibited which may indicate non sugar-specificity. The possible origin of these carbohydrates during the hatching process is discussed. There were differences in the protein banding pattern of hatched second stage juveniles; an extra band was present at 20 kDa in the population from India, whereas the population from the UK had a band at 34 kDa.","PeriodicalId":18988,"journal":{"name":"Nematologica","volume":"5 1","pages":"171-180"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87622128","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The process is subdivided into eight distinct phases, each readily identified by characteristic morphological features. The replacement odontostyle takes the functional position by assembling the new stoma behind the lining of the old cheilostoma, at the level where the replacement odontostyle inserts into the old odontophore during early moulting. A new spear is produced by the formation of the new odontophore behind the base of the new functional odontostyle, which was formed either during the previous moulting, or during embryogenesis (spear of the second stage juveniles). The most obvious event during spear replacement is development of a large space, void of tissues, in the region of the old chcilostoma, where a delicate sleeve-like membranous structure, coaxial with the old stoma, was observed. This extends posteriorly from about the old amphids to the lip region border of the newly forming stage. There are two, dorsal and ventral, flap-like cuticular extensions of the base of the cheilostoma lining. In the postlabial region there are, most likely four, sabre blade or carrot-like cuticular extensions.","PeriodicalId":18988,"journal":{"name":"Nematologica","volume":"44 1","pages":"137-151"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85550728","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

E. pratensis comprised 3.5% of all nematodes in the littoral, 3.1% in the littoriprofundal and 5.5% in the profundal. The species contributed to a considerable portion of nematode biomass in Konigssee with mean annual biomass being highest at 1 m depth (0.14 mg/100 cm 2 ww; 17% of total nematode biomass) and 2 m depth (0.13 mg/100 cm 2 ww; 22% of total nematode biomass). At 190 m depth it was 40% of total nematode biomass. Population density of E. pratensis peaked three times a year at 1 m and 2 m water depth (spring, summer, winter) and twice in deeper regions. There was considerable water depth and time dependent variation in sex ratios of E. pratensis. In littoral and littoriprofundal zones the sex ratio was about 1 : 1, while in the profundal males were very rare. About 48% of E. pratensis individuals were found in the top sediment layer and the percentage increased with increasing water depth. Juveniles and adults of E. pratensis were partially segregated in the sediment column.
