Predicting the conserved regions of pectate lyases of the Class III PEL family from Radophulus similis. Regions I–IV indicate conserved regions characteristic of the Class III pectate lyase family (Shevchik et al.1997). Highly conserved charged residues are indicated with asterisks (*), RS_PEL2 to 5 indicate the amino acid sequences of Rs-PEL-2 to Rs-PEL-5 from R. similis, the species of the bacterium or the fungus, the gene, the amino acid size, and the accession number of the aligned sequences are: F_sol_PelA = Fusarium solani f. sp. pisi, PelA, 242 aa (M94692.1); F_sol_PelB = F. solani f. sp. pisi, PelB, 242 aa (U13051); F_sol_PelC = F. solani f. sp. pisi, PelC, 215 aa (U13049); F_sol_PelD = F. solani f. sp. pisi, PelD, 233 aa (U13050); E_car_PelB = Erwinia carotovora, PelB, 347 aa (X79232)

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...
