Abstract
Root-lesion nematode (RLN; Pratylenchus neglectus) is a migratory endoparasite and a major soilborne pathogen that affects wheat (Triticum spp.) production worldwide. Genetic resistance is one of the most economical and effective ways to manage P. neglectus in wheat. This study evaluated 37 local cultivars and germplasm lines in seven greenhouse experiments, including 26 hexaploid wheat, six durum wheat, two synthetic hexaploid wheat, one emmer wheat, and two triticale for P. neglectus resistance from 2016 to 2020. North Dakota field soils infested with two RLN populations (350 to 1,125 nematodes per kilogram of soil) were used for resistance screening under controlled greenhouse conditions. The final nematode population density for each cultivar and line was counted under the microscope to categorize the resistance ranking of these entries as resistant, moderately resistant, moderately susceptible, and susceptible. Out of the 37 cultivars and lines, one was classified as resistant (Brennan); 18 were moderately resistant (Divide, Carpio, Prosper, Advance, Alkabo, SY Soren, Barlow, Bolles, Select, Faller, Briggs, WB Mayville, SY Ingmar, W7984, PI 626573, Ben, Grandin, and Villax St. Jose); 11 were moderately susceptible; and seven were susceptible to P. neglectus. The resistant to moderately resistant lines identified in this study could be used in breeding programs after the resistance genes or loci are further elucidated. This research provides valuable information about P. neglectus resistance among wheat and triticale cultivars used in the Upper Midwest region of the United States.

Abstract
Root-lesion nematodes (genus Pratylenchus) belong to a diverse group of plant-parasitic nematodes (PPN) with a worldwide distribution. Despite being an economically important PPN group of more than 100 species, genome information related to Pratylenchus genus is scarcely available. Here, we report the draft genome assembly of Pratylenchus scribneri generated on the PacBio Sequel IIe System using the ultra-low DNA input HiFi sequencing workflow. The final assembly created using 500 nematodes consisted of 276 decontaminated contigs, with an average contig N50 of 1.72 Mb and an assembled draft genome size of 227.24 Mb consisting of 51,146 predicted protein sequences. The benchmarking universal single-copy ortholog (BUSCO) analysis with 3131 nematode BUSCO groups indicated that 65.4% of the BUSCOs were complete, whereas 24.0%, 41.4%, and 1.8% were single-copy, duplicated, and fragmented, respectively, and 32.8% were missing. The outputs from GenomeScope2 and Smudgeplots converged towards a diploid genome for P. scribneri. The data provided here will facilitate future studies on host plant-nematode interactions and crop protection at the molecular level.

Abstract
Pratylenchus is one of the most limiting nematodes of Musaceae production in the world. Knowledge of the nematode species is one of the requirements for its management in the field. This study aimed to identify up to the species level Pratylenchus populations associated with plantain and banana crops in the states of Caldas, Quindío, and Valle del Cauca in Colombia. In these regions, Pratylenchus has been reported to affect these crops in the past, but with records of the nematode only up to the genus level. For this purpose, five populations of Pratylenchus extracted from samples composed of roots and rhizospheric soil, four from plantain and one from banana, were identified through morphological, morphometric, and molecular analysis (sequencing of the D2-D3 of rRNA and cytochrome oxidase subunit I of mtDNA). All populations were identified as P. araucensis, a species reported previously in eastern Colombia, and one that the present study found in the center and southwest of the country, indicating that this species of nematode is widely distributed in the Musaceae-producing areas of Colombia. The present study reports the first COI mtDNA sequences for this species of nematode.

Abstract
The root-lesion nematode, Pratylenchus scribneri, is a migratory endo-parasitic nematode that impacts potato production on a large scale. Effective management of this nematode requires an understanding of its population dynamics alongside early detection. Typically, the nematode population estimates are made from infested soil; however, considering the endo-migratory lifestyle of this nematode, it also is crucial to determine the nematode population residing inside the host roots. In this study, a SYBR green-based quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) assay was developed for detection and quantification of P. scribneri in potato roots. The assay used a previously reported primer pair (ITS-2F/ITS-2R), and it proved to be specific and sensitive, detecting as low as 1/128th equivalents of a P. scribneri individual per 0.2 g of potato roots. The robustness of the assay was reflected in high correlation observed between the P. scribneri densities determined microscopically and the densities detected by qPCR in artificially inoculated (R2 = 0.93) and naturally infected (R2 = 0.73) root samples. A time-course experiment conducted in the greenhouse using qPCR detected P. scribneri in potato roots as early as 5 days after planting. The results correlated well with the microscopic observations (R2 = 0.80) and were complemented further with root staining. Additionally, three P. scribneri reproduction peaks were observed during one 3-month growth cycle of potato. Overall, the assay developed in this study is specific to P. scribneri in DNA extracts of root tissue and allows early detection and understandings of reproduction timings of this important nematode of potato.

Abstract
The soybean cyst nematode (SCN) Heterodera glycines continues to be a major threat to soybean production worldwide. Morphological discrimination between SCN and other nematodes of the Heterodera schachtii sensu stricto group is not only difficult and time-consuming but also requires high expertise in nematode taxonomy. Molecular assays were developed to differentiate SCN from sugar beet cyst nematode (SBCN) and other nematodes and to quantify SCN directly from DNA extracts of field soils. SCN- and SBCN-specific quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) primers were designed from a nematode-secreted CLAVATA gene and used for these assays. The primers were evaluated on the basis of target specificity to SCN or SBCN using DNA from 20 isolates of SCN and 32 isolates of other plant-parasitic nematodes. A standard curve relating threshold cycle and log values of nematode numbers was generated from artificially infested soils and was used to quantify SCN in naturally infested field soils. There was a high correlation between the SCN numbers estimated from naturally infested field soils by conventional methods, and the numbers quantified using the SYBR Green I-based qPCR assay. The qPCR assay is highly specific and sensitive and provides improved SCN detection sensitivity down to 1 SCN egg in 20 g of soil (10 eggs/200 g soil). This assay is useful for efficient detection and quantification of SCN directly from field soil. Species-specific conventional PCR assays were also developed each for SCN and SBCN, alongside a qPCR assay that simultaneously discriminates SCN from SBCN. These assays require no expertise in nematode taxonomy and morphology, and they may serve as useful diagnostic tools in research, diagnostic laboratories, and extension services for SCN management. Sensitive and accurate detection and quantification of SCN are essential for recommending effective management measures against SCN. We also investigated the impact of soil texture and nematode life stage on molecular quantification of SCN.

Abstract
A rapid and accurate PCR-based method was developed in this study for detecting and identifying a new species of root-lesion nematode (Pratylenchus dakotaensis) recently discovered in a soybean field in North Dakota, USA. Species-specific primers, targeting the internal transcribed spacer region of ribosomal DNA, were designed to be used in both conventional and quantitative real-time PCR assays for identification of P.dakotaensis. The specificity of the primers was evaluated in silico analysis and laboratory PCR experiments. Results showed that only P.dakotaensis DNA was exclusively amplified in conventional and real-time PCR assays but none of the DNA from other control species were amplified. Detection sensitivity analysis revealed that the conventional PCR was able to detect an equivalent to 1/8 of the DNA of a single nematode whereas real-time PCR detected an equivalent to 1/32 of the DNA of a single nematode. According to the generated standard curve the amplification efficiency of the primers in real-time PCR was 94% with a R2 value of 0.95 between quantification cycle number and log number of P.dakotaensis. To validate the assays to distinguish P.dakotaensis from other Pratylenchus spp. commonly detected in North Dakota soybean fields, 20 soil samples collected from seven counties were tested. The PCR assays amplified the DNA of P.dakotaensis and discriminated it from other Pratylenchus spp. present in North Dakota soybean fields. This is the first report of a species-specific and rapid PCR detection method suitable for use in diagnostic and research laboratories for the detection of P.dakotaensis.

Abstract
Root-lesion nematodes (Pratylenchus spp.) of the genus Pratylenchus Filipjev, 1936, are among the most important nematode pests on soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.), along with soybean cyst and root-knot nematodes. In May 2015 and 2016, a total of six soil samples were collected from a soybean field in Walcott, Richland County, ND and submitted to the Mycology and Nematology Genetic Diversity and Biology Laboratory (MNGDBL), USDA, ARS, MD for analysis. Later, in 2019, additional nematodes recovered from a greenhouse culture on soybean originally from the same field were submitted for further analysis. Males, females, and juveniles of Pratylenchus sp. were recovered from soil and root samples and were examined morphologically and molecularly. DNA from single nematodes were extracted, and the nucleotides feature of three genomic regions targeting on the D2–D3 region of 28S rDNA and ITS rDNA and mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COX1) gene were characterized. Phylogeny trees were constructed to ascertain the relationships with other Pratylenchus spp., and polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) was performed to provide a rapid and reliable differentiation from other common Pratylenchus spp. Molecular features indicated that it is a new, unnamed Pratylenchus sp. that is different from morphologically closely related Pratylenchus spp., including P. convallariae, P. pratensis, P. fallax, and P. flakkensis. In conclusion, both morphological and molecular observations indicate that the North Dakota isolate on soybean represents a new root-lesion nematode species which is named and described herein as Pratylenchus dakotaensis n. sp.

Abstract
Factors relating to SYBR Green-based quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) quantification of stubby root nematode Paratrichodorus allius using soil DNA were evaluated in this study. Soils used were loamy sand from potato fields in North Dakota and Idaho. Results showed that the largest nematode individuals (body length >720 µm) produced significant lower Cq values than the smallest individuals (<359 µm), indicating more total DNA amount in the largest nematodes. Soil pre-treatments showed that autoclaved field soil had significantly reduced DNA amount and quality. The air- or oven-dried soil yielded a lower amount of DNA with similar purity, compared with natural field soil. PCR inhibitors were detected in soil DNA substrates targeting pBluescript II SK(+)-plasmid DNA. Al(NH4)(SO4)2 treatment during DNA preparation significantly reduced the inhibitors compared with post-treatment of soil DNA with polyvinylpolypyrrolidone column. The effect of PCR inhibitors on qPCR was suppressed by bovine serum albumin. Quantification results did not significantly change when increasing the number of DNA extractions from three to six per soil sample when soil grinding and grid sampling strategies were used. Two standard curves, generated from serial dilutions of plasmid DNA containing P. allius ITS1 rDNA and soil DNA containing known nematode numbers, produced similar correlations between Cq values and amount of targets. The targets in soil DNA quantified by qPCR using either standard curve correlated well with microscopic observations using both artificially and naturally infested field soils. This is the first study for assessing various factors that may affect qPCR quantification of stubby root nematodes. Results will be useful during the setup or optimization of qPCR-based quantification of plant-parasitic nematodes from soil DNA.

Abstract
Greenhouse experiments were conducted to determine the reproductive ability and effect of the pin nematode Paratylenchus nanus from North Dakota on field pea cultivars. Reproduction of P. nanus was determined on seven field pea cultivars using naturally infested field soils at low (1,500/kg of soil) and high (4,500/kg soil) initial pin nematode densities. Nematode effect on plant growth and seed yield was evaluated at 4,500 P. nanus per 1 kg of soil by artificially inoculating P. nanus on six field pea cultivars. Reproductive factor (RF) of P. nanus was observed to be greater at the low density than the high density of the nematode. At the low population density, RF values ranged from 1.10 to 11.20, whereas at the high density, RF ranged from 1.20 to 2.50. In experiments evaluating P. nanus effects on cultivar growth, the nematode (4,500 P. nanus per 1 kg soil) caused reduction (P < 0.05) of plant height in most cultivars tested, and it also significantly impacted dry shoot weight and dry seed weight in some experiments. Plant height and shoot weight reductions were the highest in the cultivar Arcadia (up to 37 and 53%, respectively), with a dry seed weight reduction up to 32%. This research demonstrated for the first time the negative impact of P. nanus on field peas in controlled greenhouse conditions, which is an important step toward developing effective management strategies to improve the productivity of this leguminous crop.

Abstract
The Northern root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne hapla) is an important soilborne pathogen of numerous agricultural crops in temperate regions. Accurate detection and quantification is vital to supporting informed pest management decisions. However, traditional methods of manual nematode extraction and morphology-based identification are time-consuming and require highly specialized training. Molecular methods may expand the diagnostician's toolkit beyond those methods that rely on this disappearing specialized skillset. However, molecular assays targeting the internal transcribed spacer region may lead to inaccurate results because of intraspecific variability. The Meloidogyne spp. effector gene 16D10 was assessed as a target for a SYBR Green I quantitative PCR (qPCR) assay for detection and quantification of M. hapla. M. hapla-specific qPCR primers were developed and evaluated for specificity against five M. hapla isolates and 14 other plant-parasitic nematodes. A standard curve was generated by relating the quantification cycle (Cq) to the log of M. hapla population densities artificially introduced into soil. The influence of soil inhibitors on quantitative amplification was assessed by generating a dilution series from DNA extracted from pure nematode cultures and inoculated soil. Extracts from soil produced significantly higher Cq values than those produced from pure culture extracts. The utility of the qPCR was evaluated using soil samples collected from three naturally infested potato fields, resulting in a significant positive relationship between populations estimated using qPCR and populations derived from manual counting. The qPCR developed in this study provides a useful method for detecting and quantifying M. hapla in soil and demonstrates the utility of effector genes in plant-parasitic nematode diagnostics. The ability to use effector genes as targets for qPCR and other molecular detection and quantification methods may open additional avenues of novel research and support development of improved species-level diagnostics.
