Abstract:
In order to identify the plant parasitic nematodes
associated with
Polianthes
tuberosa
in
Dezful Regions, Iran, 300 soil and root samples wer
e collected from different parts of the
region, during 2012-2014. The samples were washed a
nd the nematodes were extracted by
centrifugal flotation technique. The nematodes were
fixed and transferred to glycerin,
and then the permanent slides of the nematode speci
men were prepared. After
microscopic observation, the measurements (morpholo
gical and morphometrical
characters) were made using a drawing tube attached
to light microscope. In this study,
17 species belonging to nine genera of the family T
ylenchidae were identified as:
Atetylenchus graminus, A. abulbosus, Basiria aberra
ns, B. tumida, Boleodorus thylactus,
Filenchus elegantulus, F. sandneri, F. vulgaris, F.
andrassyi, F. facultativus, Irantylenchus
vicinus, Lelenchus leptosoma, Neopsilenchus magnide
ns, Psilenchus hilarulus, P. iranicus,
P. vinciguerrae
and
Tylenchus capitatus
. Among them,
A. graminus, L. leptosome
and
T.
capitatus,
are new reports and were first described in Iran. T
his is the first report of male
of
A. graminus
in the world.
