Summary

The stubby root nematodes are world-wide distributed polyphagous root ectoparasites and can cause damage to a wide range of crops and natural vegetation. In this study, 22 valid and putative species of stubby root nematodes were identified in 37 samples collected in Malaysia, Mexico, Russia, and the USA (California, Florida, Minnesota and Nevada). The analysis of 58 new sequences of the D2-D3 expansion fragments of 28S rRNA gene revealed the following species: Nanidorus minor from California, Florida and Mexico, N. renifer from Florida, two unidentified Nanidorus species from California and Malaysia, respectively, Paratrichodorus allius from Florida and Minnesota, P. pachydermus and Paratrichodorus sp. from Russia, Trichodorus californicus, T. intermedius, and T. obscurus from California, T. obtusus from Florida, eight unidentified Trichodorus species from California, one unidentified Trichodorus species from Nevada, and two unidentified species of stubby root nematodes, one of Trichodorus and another undetermined species from Mexico. Molecular characterisation of T. californicus, T. intermedius and T. obscurus is given for the first time. The phylogenetic tree reconstructed from the analysis of 108 D2-D3 of 28S rRNA gene sequences of 58 valid and putative species of the stubby root nematodes contained five major clades: i) Trichodorus from Europe, Asia and North America; ii) Nanidorus and Trichodorus from Asia; iii) Trichodorus from California; iv) Paratrichodorus from several distant geographical regions; and v) Monotrichodorus from Central and South America. It has been hypothesised that the California Floristic Province is one of the centres of origin and diversification of stubby root nematodes. There is no information on the economic importance of the stubby root nematode species found in California and Mexico. The confirmation of the occurrence of N. renifer and P. allius in Florida should be of concern for the blueberry and potato industries in the state.
