Anguina tritici was the first plant parasitic nematode to be described in the literature in 1743. It causes a disease in wheat and rye called "ear-cockle" or seed gall. Originally found in many parts of the world but has been eradicated from the western hemisphere. Currently in north Africa and west Asia only. [5] .

2018年7月6日 · Anguina tritici, commonly referred to as wheat seed gall nematode, is the cause of ear-cockle disease. It was the first plant-parasitic nematode to be described in the scientific literature in 1743. Its host range includes wheat, triticale, rye, …

2024年12月16日 · In seed gall forms, developing seed is converted to a nematode feeding site. Galls do not germinate as seeds. The galls induced by several Anguina spp. become exploited to bacteria such as Rathayibacter.

2016年8月12日 · This Laboratory is home to the USDA Nematode Collection, arguably the largest collection of plant-parasitic nematode reference specimens in the world. Collection records indicated that the last detection of the wheat seed gall nematode in the United States was on a turf farm in Virginia in 1975.

Seed-gall nematode, A. tritici, is a seed-borne nematode, has a narrow host range, and causes ear cockle disease in wheat, barley, and oats, whereas Heterodera, Meloidogyne and Pratylenchus spp. attack roots and have a wide host range.

Anguina tritici (wheat seed gall nematode); seed gall on wheat caused by infection, teased apart to reveal adult males and females and thousands of eggs.

Anguina tritici is the first plant-parasitic nematode described in literature, dating back to the year 1743. It is responsible for causing earcockle (seed gall) and tundu diseases in wheat and rye. Notably, this nematode has been observed to survive ...

Anguina [1] [2] [3] (seed-gall nematode, seed and leaf gall nematode, seed gall nematode, shoot gall nematode) is a genus of plant pathogenic nematodes.

2024年1月5日 · The seed-gall nematode, A. tritici interacts essentially with bacterium (Rathayibacter tritici) and fungus (Dilophospora alopecuri) causing yellow ear rot and spike blight diseases of wheat, respectively (Khan and Pathak 1993).

Infected seeds are transformed into galls that are light brown to nearly black in color. Galls contain a white powdery mass that consists of dry nematodes in an anhydrobiotic state (Bridge and Starr, 2007). Galls appear darker, shorter, and thicker than seed kernels.
