Genetic variability and adaptive evolution in parthenogenetic root-knot nematodes.

Heredity - 1 Apr 2006

Castagnone-Sereno P

Abstract excerpt

Root-knot nematodes (RKN) of the genus Meloidogyne are biotrophic plant parasites of major agricultural importance, which exhibit very variable modes of reproduction, from classical amphimixis to mitotic parthenogenesis. This review focuses on those RKN species that reproduce exclusively by mitotic parthenogenesis (apomixis), in contrast to those that have meiotic/amphimitic events in their life cycle. Although...
