Maximum-likelihood phylogenetic trees of pectate lyases of Radopholus similis (Rs-PELs) and other organisms. Phylogenetic tree for proteins with conserved domains of pectate lyases from cyst nematodes, root-knot nematodes, Aphelenchus, Bursaphelenchus, bacteria, and fungi generated by MEGA6.0. The Rs-PELs amino acid sequences were marked in bold, and each sequence was followed by its accession number in GenBank

Radopholus similis is a destructive, migratory, and endophytoparasitic nematode. It has two morphologically indistinguishable pathotypes (or physiological races): banana and citrus pathotypes. At present, the only reliable method to differentiate the two pathotypes is testing the infestation and parasitism of nematodes on Citrus spp. via inoculatio...

Cyst nematodes are obligate parasitic nematodes found in the fields of many cultivated crops. These nematodes, which have great economic importance, pose a threat to food security, though they are frequently ignored or misdiagnosed as pests because of covert parasitism. A cyst nematode population parasitizing on Artemisia lavandulaefolia DC., one o...
