Narabu","doi":"10.3725/jjn.49.19","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3725/jjn.49.19","url":null,"abstract":"Multiplex endpoint PCR techniques are among the essential diagnostic tools used for identifying the potato cyst nematodes (PCNs: Globodera rostochiensis and G. pallida ). Multiplex endpoint PCR assays for PCNs published to date, based on three-step PCR, are not integrated with primers to verify successful PCR in testing non-target species. Besides, carry-over contamination is a serious problem in diagnostic PCR assays. To improve the run time and reliability of the endpoint PCR test, we developed a two-step multiplex PCR identification method for PCNs using the dUTP/UNG carry-over prevention system. For this purpose, primers with high melting temperatures were newly designed to amplify mitochondrial DNA fragments specific to the respective PCN species and the nuclear ribosomal RNA gene fragments as PCR positive controls across cyst nematodes. In addition, the DNA preparation method from juveniles and cysts was simplified using sodium dodecyl sulfate and disposable homogenizers. This multiplex amplification generated amplicons of 150 bp, 287 bp and ca . 450 bp for G. rostochiensis , G. pallida and the non-target cyst nematode species, respectively. No cross-reactions were observed among the tested nematodes including 11 species and 22 populations. In examining mixed juveniles and cysts of PCNs, our method successfully detected both species even in the ratio of one to ten. These PCR runs took ca . 1 h, faster than the other three-step PCR protocols. The new PCR diagnostic method described here is reliable, fast and thus a good alternative to the other assays based on conventional PCR for diagnosis of PCNs. Nematol. Res. 49 ( 2 ), 19 – 27 .

Based on their ecological and morphological characteristics, these nematodes are identified as members of the genus Contortylenchus . They show some differences in not only parasitic manners but also molecular profiles. Ribosomal DNA sequences for small subunit (SSU), and D 2 -D 3 expansion segments of the large subunit (D 2 -D 3 LSU) of the nematodes in the two different beetle species are almost identical, but they show one base-pair substitution in the D 2 -D 3 LSU. These results suggest that the nematodes from I. typographus and I. cembrae are closely related but separate species. Interestingly, the D 2 -D 3 LSU of the nematode in I. typographus was identical to those of both Contortylenchus sp. from the Moscow region, the Russian Federation, and C. diplogaster in I. cembrae from the Czech Republic. This result indicates that the nematode in I. typographus is closely related to or could be conspecific to the European Contortylenchus species, including especially C. diplogaster or a related species, C. pseudodiplogaster .

PWN numbers in dead trees were lower in the cold climate than previously reported in warm climates. PWNs were widely distributed throughout each dead tree and had a contagious distribution. Oviposition scars of the PWN vector, Monochamus alternatus , were not detected on the dead trees killed in spring to early summer because the time of disease development and tree death did not coincide with the time of insect oviposition.
