Identification of the root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita, using monoclonal antibodies raised to non-specific esterases
(1996-08)
The esterase isozyme from Meloidogyne incognita with pI similar to 4.95 was purified using a Rotofor electrophoresis system. The purified enzyme was then used to raise monoclonal antibodies. Hybridoma cell lines producing ...
Comparison of two sympatric Pasteuria populations isolated from a tropical vertisol soil
(1996-07)
An isolate of Pasteuria (designated PPMJ) recovered from the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne javanica, was characterized using host preference, spore morphometrics, and serology, and compared with another sympatric Pasteuria ...
Adhesion of Pasteuria penetrans to the cuticle of root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) inhibited by fibronectin : A study of electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions
(1996-05)
Pasteuria penetrans is a bacterium with the potential to control plant-parasitic nematode populations; the mechanism of spore adhesion, however, is poorly understood. Attachment assays were performed in media supplemented ...
Serologically based diagnostic and quantification tests for nematodes
(1996-05)
Plant parasitic nematodes are important plant pests which are difficult to identify and quantify. Serologically based techniques offer new ways to identify and quantify these parasites. Several factors need to be considered ...
Characterisation of pasteuria isolated from Heterodera cajani using morphology, pathology and serology of endospores
(1996-03)
Pasteuria spp. are potentially useful natural parasites of nematodes. An isolate of Pasteuria, recovered from the pigeonpea cyst nematode, Heterodera cajani, was characterised using host range, spore morphometrics, and ...
