Abstract
Pratylenchus brachyurus was isolated from the brown necrotic roots of Guava(Psidium guajava)in Xunxiao,Zhangzhou,Fujian Province.By applying light microscope and scanning electronic microscope,the nematode's diagnostic characters are as follows: 2 lips annule,labial disc oblong and surrounded by 6 lips including 2 lateral lips and 4 subrounded submedial lips;amphidial apertures narrow oval,closely abutting both sides of lip disc;stylet 15.3~19.9 μm,basal knobs round;ovary straight,spermatheca inconspicuous,post uterine sac slightly shorter than width at vulva,vulva situated at 83%~86%of body length;tail broadly conoid with ventral annules 16~21,tip smooth and broadly rounded.The rDNA-ITS and 28S rDNA-D2D3 of the nematode were amplified and analyzed,the sequences were 730 bp and 779~780 bp respectively and their similarity with the corresponding sequences of P.brachyurus in Genbank were 89%~93%and 97%~99%respectively.Using D2D3 was more suitable than using ITS in the molecular identification of P.brachyurus.The results of isolation and staining of the nematodes within the diseased root tissues confirmed that the damaged Guava's roots were infected by P.brachyurus inducing black rotten roots and brown lesions on the root cortex.It was the first report in China that P.brachyurus was isolated in the root of Guava.
