Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation Two foliar nematode populations collected in Taiwan were identified as Aphelenchoides pseudobesseyi and Aphelenchoides oryzae.
- Observation The two species differed consistently in post-vulval uterine sac length and male spicule structure.
- Observation Bayesian phylogenetic analyses of 28S rRNA D2-D3 and mitochondrial COI sequences separated the two populations into distinct, well-supported species clades.
- Observation A. pseudobesseyi parasitized and reproduced on multiple ornamental plants.
- Observation Saxifraga stolonifera and Sinningia speciosa are newly identified host records of A. pseudobesseyi.
- Observation A. oryzae had a restricted host range and was recovered only from rice plants.
- Observation Both nematode species reproduced on the commercial mushroom Flammulina filiformis.
- Observation A. oryzae also reproduced on Fusarium fujikuroi, a major rice seed-borne pathogen.
- Observation No reproduction of A. oryzae was observed on the mushrooms Lentinula edodes, Pleurotus ostreatus or Volvariella volvacea.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that the broad host range and pathogenicity of A. pseudobesseyi highlight its potential economic importance in field crop and ornamental plant production.
