Sa. Subbotin et al., Identification of cyst forming nematodes of the genus Heterodera (Nematoda: Heteroderidae) based on the ribosomal DNA-RFLP, NEMATOLOGY, 2, 2000, pp. 153-164
Amplified ITS region products of rDNA from 25 valid species and one unident
ified species from the genus Heterodera and from Meloidodera alni were dige
sted by 26 restriction enzymes. A combination of seven enzymes clearly sepa
rated the agriculturally most important species from each other and from th
eir sibling species. Species specific digestion profiles of ITS regions and
a table with approximate sizes of digested fragments for several identific
ation enzymes are given. Heterogeneity of ITS regions was revealed for some
Cyst forming nematode species.
