The pine wilt nematode is spread by a number of bark beetles and wood borers, typically associated with the genus Monochamus of pine sawyers. [17] Pine sawyers lay their eggs in the bark of dead timber. The growing larva feeds on the wood and pupates in the resulting cavity. Nematodes of the third juvenile stage congregate in the cavity around ...
Enoplea (enopleans) is a class, which with the classes Secernentea [1] and Chromadorea make up the phylum Nematoda in current taxonomy. [2] [3] [4] The Enoplea are considered to be a more ancestral group than the Chromadorea, and researchers have referred to its members as the "ancestrally diverged nematodes", compared to the "more recently diverged nematodes" of Chromadorea.
Tylenchidae is a family of nematodes. They are an important group of soil dwelling species that frequently contributes as much as 30% to the nematode species richness of soil samples. [ 2 ] They diverged relatively early on and many species pose little risk to economically important plant species. [ 2 ]
Gould's Ecoregions of Texas (1960). [1] These regions approximately correspond to the EPA's level 3 ecoregions. [2] The following is a list of widely known trees and shrubs found in Texas. [3] [4] [5] Taxonomic families for the following trees and shrubs are listed in alphabetical order by family. [6]
The nematodes (/ ˈ n ɛ m ə t oʊ d z / NEM-ə-tohdz or NEEM-; Ancient Greek: Νηματώδη; Latin: Nematoda), roundworms or eelworms constitute the phylum Nematoda. Species in the phylum inhabit a broad range of environments. Most species are free-living, feeding on microorganisms, but many are parasitic.
Heterodera is a genus of nematodes in the family Heteroderidae. Members of the genus are obligate parasites and different species attack different crops, often causing great economic damage. The genus is unique among nematode genera because of the ability of the female to transform into a tough, brown, cyst which protects the eggs which have ...
Tylenchulus semipenetrans, also known as the citrus nematode or citrus root nematode, is a species of plant pathogenic nematodes and the causal agent of slow decline of citrus. T. semipenetrans is found in most citrus production areas and diverse soil textures worldwide. Their feeding strategy is semi-endoparasitic and has a very narrow host ...
Xiphinema americanum, the American dagger nematode, is a species of plant pathogenic nematodes.It is one of many species that belongs to the genus Xiphinema.It was first described by N. A. Cobb in 1913, who found it on both sides of the United States on the roots of grass, corn, and citrus trees. [1]
