A Draft Genome Sequence of the Burrowing Nematode Radopholus similis [PDF]

Journal of Nematology, 2019
Radopholus similis also known as the burrowing nematode is a devastating pest of banana (Musa spp.) and many economically important crops and ornamentals. In this publication, we present the genome assembly of R. similis.

Phenalenone-type phytoalexins mediate resistance of banana plants (Musa spp.) to the burrowing nematode Radopholus similis. [PDF]

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2014
The global yield of bananas, one of the most important food crops is severely hampered by parasites, such as nematodes, which cause yield losses up to 75%.

Burrowing Nematode Radopholus similis (Cobb, 1893) Thorne, 1949 (Nematoda: Secernentea: Tylenchida: Pratylenchidae: Pratylenchinae)

EDIS, 2012
The burrowing nematode is the most economically important nematode parasite of banana in the world. Infection causes toppling disease of banana, yellows disease of pepper and spreading decline of citrus.

Molecular identification and functional characterization of the fatty acid- and retinoid-binding protein gene Rs-far-1 in the burrowing nematode Radopholus similis (Tylenchida: Pratylenchidae). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Fatty acid- and retinoid-binding protein (FAR) is a nematode-specific protein expressed in the nematode hypodermis. It is involved in nematode development, reproduction, and infection and can disrupt the plant defense reaction. In this study, we obtained

Study on burrowing nematode, Radopholus similis, pathogenicity test system in tobacco as host

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2022
Radopholus similis (Cobb 1893) Thorne (1949) is a destructive migratory endoparasitic plant nematode. In this study, the pathogenic process of R. similis infection in Nicotiana benthamiana (tobacco) was studied using quartz sand culture in laboratory ...

Strongyloides species exhibit distinct behaviors on the skin of different mammals [PDF]

BMC Infectious Diseases
Background Skin-penetrating nematodes, including the human parasite Strongyloides stercoralis and the rat parasite Strongyloides ratti, are gastrointestinal parasites that infect when infective third-stage larvae (iL3s) invade host skin.

Exploring the transcriptome of the burrowing nematode Radopholus similis [PDF]

Molecular Genetics and Genomics, 2008
Radopholus similis is an important nematode pest on fruit crops in the tropics. Unraveling the transcriptome of this migratory plant-parasitic nematode can provide insight in the parasitism process and lead to more efficient control measures. For the first high throughput molecular characterization of this devastating nematode, 5,853 expressed sequence

Targeted transcriptomics reveals signatures of large-scale independent origins and concerted regulation of effector genes in Radopholus similis.

PLoS Pathogens, 2021
The burrowing nematode, Radopholus similis, is an economically important plant-parasitic nematode that inflicts damage and yield loss to a wide range of crops.
