EURL for plant parasitic nematodes

Dear all, The EURL for Plant Parasitic Nematodes will be switching to @bluesky for our future social media updates, with the tagline: "eurl-ppns.bsky.social" We hope to see you there to help us in the sharing of information with our scientific network. 👋 🇪🇺🪱🌱

👁 Who is who❓ 🙋🏻Carolina Escobar is a researcher at Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha @uclm_es specialising in plant-nematode interaction. In #NEMEMERGE they will screen tomato cultivars that will hopefully be resistant to the root-knot nematodes 🪱 Meet our team👇🏾 #HorizonEU

New root-knot nematode species 🔬 Meloidogyne limonae 🌿🪱 .Morphological and molecular characterisation of this new RNK, parasitising Citrus limon in Hainan Province, 🇨🇳. Infected lemon trees showed poor-quality lemons + weak growth. Plant Disease apsjournals.apsnet.org/doi/10.1094/PD…

🔬Globodera vulgaris: A New spherical cyst nematode species found in potato field in 🇨🇳! It is closely related to the 🇪🇺Q pest G. rostochiensis. Pathogenicity tests showed G. vulgaris infected🥔but no damage or affect to the potato yield was observed doi.org/10.1094/PHYTO-…

🇪🇺 Training for 10 NRLs on how to detect the rice Root-Knot Nematode in soil & root samples, organised by EURL partner @ILVOvlaanderen last week (10-12 Oct 2023). Molecular & morphological methods for the correct identification of Meloidogyne graminicola were shown and discussed.

Check out the publication 👋 doi.org/10.1016/j.jenv… 5 waste disinfection methods were tested on Globodera or Meloidogyne spp.🌱🪱: Encouraging results for both Composting and for Methanation methods are interpreted and discussed. @Anses_fr @fnpppt #Nemalliance #circulareconomy
