Genetic diversity and comparative analysis of gene expression between Heterorhabditis bacteriophora Az29 and Az36 isolates: uncovering candidate genes involved in insect pathogenicity.

Abstract excerpt

Entomopathogenic nematode Heterorhabditis bacteriophora Az29 and Az36 isolates with different virulence against Popillia unipuncta and soil survival time were isolated from the Azorean archipelago (Portugal) and used for the study. RAPD analysis revealed a very low-level of genetic diversity (GD(axenic Az36 isolate)(axenic Az29 isolate)=0.2338±0.0541) between axenic Az29 and Az36 isolates, and a relative...
