Öğe A GWAS to identify the cereal cyst nematode (Heterodera filipjevi) resistance loci in diverse wheat prebreeding lines(Springer Heidelberg, 2021) Dababat, Abdelfattah; Arif, Mian Abdur Rehman; Toktay, Halil; Atiya, Osameh; Shokat, Sajid; E-Orakci, Gul; Imren, MustafaYield losses because of cereal cyst nematodes could be as high as 92%, causing a bottleneck for wheat production. An integrated approach (application of pesticides, crop rotation, and use of host resistance) is needed to manage this devastating pathogen where resistant cultivars are considered most effective. This necessitates the identification of nematode-resistant sources in the available germplasm. Here, we report on the genetic mapping of nematode resistance in 255 diverse prebreeding lines (PBLs) employing an association mapping strategy. Altogether, seven additive quantitative trait loci (QTL) were identified on chromosomes 1A, 2A, 2B, 2D, 3A, 6B, and 6D explaining a maximum of 9.42% phenotypic variation where at least five QTL (on chromosomes 2A, 2B, 2D, 6B, and 6D) are located on the same chromosomes that harbor the already known nematode resistance genes. Resistant PBLs carried Aegilops squarrosa (436) in their pedigree which could be the possible source of positive alleles. To add to it, better yield performance of the identified nematode-resistant lines under stress conditions indicates that the germplasm can provide both nematode resistance and high-yielding cultivars.Öğe Association analysis of resistance to cereal cyst nematodes (Heterodera avenae) and root lesion nematodes (Pratylenchus neglectus and P-thornei) in CIMMYT advanced spring wheat lines for semi-arid conditions(JAPANESE SOC BREEDING, 2016) Dababat, Abdelfattah A.; Ferney, Gomez-Becerra Hugo; Erginbas-Orakci, Gul; Dreisigacker, Susanne; Imren, Mustafa; Toktay, Halil; Ogbonnaya, FrancisTo identify loci linked to nematode resistance genes, a total of 126 of CIMMYT advanced spring wheat lines adapted to semi-arid conditions were screened for resistance to Heterodera avenae, Pratylenchus neglectus, and P. thornei, of which 107 lines were genotyped with 1,310 DArT. Association of DArT markers with nematode response was analyzed using the general linear model. Results showed that 11 markers were associated with resistance to H. avenae (pathotype Ha21), 25 markers with resistance to P. neglectus, and 9 significant markers were identified to be linked with resistance to P thornei. In this work we confirmed that chromosome 4A (similar to 90-105 cM) can be a source of resistance to P. thornei as has been recently reported. Other significant markers were also identified on chromosomal regions where no resistant genes have been reported for both nematodes species. These novel QTL were mapped to chromosomes 5A, 6A, and 7A for H. avenae; on chromosomes 1A, 1B, 3A, 3B, 6B, 7AS, and 7D for P. neglectus; and on chromosomes 1D, 2A, and 5B for P. thornei and represent potentially new loci linked to resistance that may be useful for selecting parents and deploying resistance into elite germplasm adapted to regions where nematodes are causing problem.Öğe Characterization of Potato Golden Cyst Nematode Populations (Globodera rostochiensis) in Turkey(Friends Science Publ, 2020) Toktay, Halil; Evlice, Emre; Imren, Mustafa; Ozer, Goksel; Ali, Muhammad Amjad; Dababat, AbdelfattahGolden potato cyst nematode, Globodera rostochiensis (Wollenweber) Behrens, is one of the most important soilborne pathogens causing economic losses in potato. The nematode is known to occurin several countries including Turkey and has a worldwide regulatory concern. In this study, identification and genetic diversity of G. rostochiensis specimens obtained from the main potato producing areas of Turkey were determined. Twenty -five of 35 soil samples collected from the provinces of Izmir, Nevsehir and Nigde were found to contain G. rostochiensis. The variation between G. rostochiensis populations was determined when examined according to ecological and pathogenic characteristics of nematode in Turkey. The cysts of G. rostochiensis were identified by measuring the morphological characters using perennial patterns, vulval cone, vulval basin and juveniles. Phylogenetic analysis of the Large Sub Unit (LSU) region of rDNA sequences was used to assess the inter or intra phylogenetic relationships between the nematode populations. The phylogenetic analyses demonstrated that the nematode specimens from Turkey cluster with Globodera spp. and signified the presence of single species of G. rostochiensis. As a result, morphological, morphometric and molecular methods were successfully combined for identification and characterization of G. rostochiensis. The frequency of G. rostochiensis in regulatory samples frompotato -producing areas is becoming increasingly important. The morphological characterization has several complications in the detection of this quarantine nematode, using of this combination is beneficial for a reliable and quick diagnostic for these nematodes which is crucial for regulatory services and growers. The results might help to investigate different ecotypes of G. rostochiensis for comprehensive understanding about physiology, ecology , and biology of the genus Globodera for its effective management in Turkey. (C) 2020 Friends Science PublishersÖğe Determination of resistance against to Cereal cyst nematode, Heterodera avenae (Wollenweber, 1924) in some wheat germplasm(ENTOMOLOGICAL SOC TURKEY, EGE UNIV, 2013) Imren, Mustafa; Toktay, Halil; Bozbuga, Refik; Dababat, Amer; Ozkan, Hakan; Elekcioglu, I. HalilThe cereal cyst nematode, Heterodera avenae is one of the most important pests of wheat in many countries in the world with different climatic types. Heterodera. avenae is commonly distributed in the Eastern Mediterranean region of Turkey and all populations investigated belong to the Hal group, Ha21 pathotype. This study was aimed to found resistance sources from the national wheat varieties, wheat wild genotypes and international wheat genotypes against H. avenae Karlik Adana population (Ha21 pathotype). Results showed that four national wheat varieties, seventeen wheat wild genotypes and twenty three international wheat genotypes were found to be moderately resistant against to Eastern Mediterranean Region of Turkey H. avenae population. Among these genotypes, the national bread wheat variety, Adana 99 (PFAU/SERI82//BOG"S"), some wild genotypes and international genotypes can be used in national wheat breeding programmes. However, Crel was not showed completely resistant against H. avenae. Additionally resistance sources in of Turkish national wheat and wild genotypes needs to be determined.Öğe Determination of Resistance Levels of National Potato Cultivars and Clones Against Golden Cyst Nematode Pathotype Ro2/3 via Phenotypic and DNA Marker-Assisted Characterization(Springer, 2024) Avci, Gulten Kacar; Canhilal, Ramazan; Toktay, Halil; Imren, Mustafa; Unlenen, Levent; Pirlak, UgurPotato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is one of our important agricultural products, which is the main food source for people in T & uuml;rkiye, as well as all over the world. There are many diseases and pests that reduce productivity in potato plant production. Potato cyst nematodes (Tylenchida: Heteroderidae) are pests that are on the quarantine list of the European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization and cause serious yield losses. Since they are soil-borne pathogens and there is no effective chemical control, the most successful control method is to use resistant cultivars. The aim of the study was to determine the resistance levels of local and national potato cultivars and clones developed by the Nigde Potato Research Institute against the Globodera rostochiensis Ro2/3 pathotype using molecular marker analysis and biotesting methods. The biotest study was carried out by inoculating 7500 eggs and larvae of the Globedera rostochiensis pathotype Ro2/3 into pots. In the molecular marker analysis, resistance was investigated with TG689, 57R, Gro1-4 markers. While all cultivars and clones except Bettina were grouped as sensitive in the biotesting study, the H1 resistance gene was detected in Onaran, & Uuml;nlenen, Leventbey, Muratbey, Nahita, Agria, Madeleine, Desiree and Bettina cultivars by molecular marker analysis. H1 and Gro1-4 resistance genes were detected in the PAE 13-08-07, PAE 13-08-08 and PAE 13-08-14 clones used in the experiment. The results showed that clones developed by the Potato Research Institute exhibited highly resistant marker alleles for the Ro2/3 pathotype of G. rostochiensis. The results of phenotyping study and the molecular marker study were not similar.Öğe Effect of Mi Gene and Nematode Resistance on Tomato Genotypes Using Molecular and Screening Assay(Allerton Press Inc, 2020) Bozbuga, Refik; Dasgan, H. Yildiz; Akhoundnejad, Yelderem; Imren, Mustafa; Gunay, Ozlem C.; Toktay, HalilThe Mi gene is known to involve in the resistance response to some Root knot nematodes, Meloidogyne spp. in tomato plants Lycopersicon esculentum. Root knot nematodes cause significant damages to almost all crops in the world. Among Meloidogyne species, Meloidogyne incognita is one of the most damages species causing a vast amount of crop loss including tomato plants. The resistance gene may be found in some tomato genotypes or cultivars. Determining the resistance gene, Mi, in tomato cultivars is very important to control root knot nematodes. For this purpose, this study was conducted in 99 tomato genotypes that were screened for resistance against Meloidogyne incognita in molecular and screening assays. Results revealed that Mi gene was only determined in one genotype (Tom113). The result of the screening assay indicated that one of the genotypes (Tom113) showed an immune reaction against the nematode; two genotypes (Tom146, Tom141) were found intermediate; 17 genotypes moderately susceptible, 43 genotypes susceptible and 36 genotypes found highly susceptible. Results of the screening assay confirmed the presence of Mi gene in a tomato genotype, which accompanied with a decreased ability for the nematode in causing the infection. Immune and some promising genotypes are thought as important genetic tools for breeding studies for future works.Öğe Heterodera schachtii (Nematoda: Heteroderidae) Associated with Cabbage-Cultivation Systems in Anatolia Region of Türkiye(Mdpi, 2024) Akyol, Gulsum Badel; Yuksel, Ebubekir; Elci, Eminur; Bozbuga, Refik; Dababat, Abdelfattah; Imren, Mustafa; Toktay, HalilHeterodera schachtii (Schmidt, 1871) (Nematoda: Heteroderidae) is one of the most widespread plant-parasitic nematodes (PPNs) associated with cabbages, which cause severe yield losses in cruciferous vegetables. This study aimed to improve the current understanding of the prevalence and detection of H. schachtii in the cabbage-growing areas of Ni & gbreve;de Province, T & uuml;rkiye. Field surveys were conducted between November and December 2021, and 100 soil samples were collected immediately after cabbage harvesting. Heterodera schachtii populations were identified by morphological and morphometric methods along with Internal Transcribed Spacer of the ribosomal region (ITS-rDNA) and Cytochrome Oxidase Subunit (COI-mtDNA) sequencing. The mean body length of H. schachtii was 463 +/- 7 mu m, while stylet and hyaline length ranged between 20.7-27.8 mu m and 20.1-32.1 mu m, respectively. Nearly half of the surveyed areas were infested with H. schachtii with a 41% incidence rate. However, the Merkez District had the highest proportion of infested fields with an over 51% incidence rate. The population density was determined in 41 samples with a mean of 79.5 cysts per 250 g of soil. These results will help to determine the control and management strategies of H. schachtii.Öğe Incidence of cereal cyst nematodes in the East Anatolia Region in Turkey(RUSSIAN ACAD SCI, INST PARASITOLOGY, 2015) Toktay, Halil; Imren, Mustafa; Ocal, Atilla; Waeyenberge, Lieven; Viaene, Nicole; Dababats, AbdelfattahCereal cyst nematodes (Heterodera spp., CCN) are major economic plant-parasitic nematodes of wheat grown in the East Anatolian region of Turkey. Identification of CCN species is essential for choosing the right control strategy. The morphological and molecular characteristics of cyst nematodes (Heterodera spp.) were determined for specimens collected from wheat fields from different provinces of the East Anatolia region in Turkey. Fifty-six percent of wheat fields were infested with cereal cyst nematodes. Based on morphological characterisations and molecular techniques, two Heterodera species, H. filipjevi and H. latipons, were identified. Heterodera filipjevi was the dominant species in the wheat fields of Elazig, Malatya, Sivas, Erzurum, Erzincan, Igdir and Kars provinces, while H. latipons was found only in three provinces (Erzincan, Elazig and Malatya). This is the first detection of H. latipons in the East Anatolia region. Genetic dissimilarity was higher within H. filipjevi populations than within H. latipons populations. While intraspecific polymorphism was not observed within H. latipons, it was recorded in H. filipjevi populations. Our results showed a clear separation of the two cyst nematode species using both morphological and molecular tests, and confirmed the link between genetic and morphological traits.Öğe Investigation the Efficiency of Resistance Gene, Cre1, Against Mediterranean Cereal Cyst Nematode: Heterodera latipons Franklin (Tylenchida: Heteroderidae)(ANKARA UNIV, FAC AGR, 2014) Imren, Mustafa; Kasapoglu, Ece Bortecine; Dababat, Abdelfattah; Toktay, Halil; Elekcioglu, Ibrahim HalilCereal cyst nematodes (Heterodera avenae group) are important pests of wheat; they include the three most important species of cereal cyst nematodes: Heterodera avenae Wollenweber, H. latipons Franklin and H. filipjevi (Madzhidov) in Turkey that were determined in different wheat growing areas. It was reported that Mediterranean cereal cyst nematode, Heterodera latipons which is widely found in the centre of the durum wheat growing area -South-eastern Anatolia region-in our country was reaching the economical threshold in many locations. It is known that the use of resistant/tolerant wheat varieties is the most effective controlling method against cyst nematodes in the wheat cultivation. Nowadays, nine different resistance genes (Cre genes), which are transferred from wild wheat species to wheat cultivated forms are available. In this study, the efficiency of the resistance gene, Cre1, against the population of H. latipons from Gaziantep (Karkamis) was investigated. In the study, 38 genotypes carrying Cre1 gene and 26 genomes lacking resistance genes; this gives a total 64 wheat genotypes which are produced by parental crossing of SILVERSTAR containing the resistance gene, Cre1, in its genome, SOKOLL, CALINGIRI, GOLDMARKER, CROC_1/AE.SQUARROSA(224)//OPATA, FRAME, STYLET and PASTOR were used against H. latipons in the experiment. Among the 64 genotypes; 20 were resistant, 32 were moderately resistant and 12 were moderately susceptible to the nematode. Ten resistant, 20 moderately resistant and 8 moderately susceptible lines were determined against H. latipons that these 38 lines carried the Cre1 gene in their genome. Within this study, the resistant gene, Cre1, was not found to be completely resistant against H. latipons, but its 78% efficiency rate was found to be successful: therefore, it was concluded that it can be used against H. latipons in national wheat breeding programs. Furthermore, PASTOR, SOKOLL and CROC_1/AE.SQUARROSA(224)//OPATA wheat genotypes were determined as good resistance source against H. latipons.Öğe molecular characterization of Heterodera cruciferae Franklin, 1945 from cabbage felds in Nigde province, Turkey (Sep, 10.1007/s11033-022-07860-w, 2022)(Springer, 2023) Toktay, Halil; G. Akyol, Badel; Evlice, Emre; Imren, Mustafa[Abstract Not Available]Öğe Molecular characterization of Heterodera cruciferae Franklin, 1945 from cabbage fields in Nigde province, Turkey(Springer, 2022) Toktay, Halil; Akyol, Badel G.; Evlice, Emre; Imren, MustafaBackground The aim of this study was to identified cyst nematodes in the cabbage production areas in Nigde Province by molecular methods to underpin decision making for field control. The sequences of ribosomal DNA region (rDNA-ITS) and cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 (mtDNA-COI) were used for the first time for identification Heterodera cruciferae (cabbage cyst nematode) in Turkey. Methods and Results Heterodera cruciferae populations extracted from cabbage growing areas of Nigde Province and investigated using sequences of rDNA-ITS and mtDNA-COI. Similarities and differences between 13 geographic populations of H. cruciferae were detected in surveys during 2020-2021. DNA from single cysts was successfully amplified, and genetic variability was revealed within nematode populations. Based on these results, H. cruciferae is reported for the first time from Nigde Province, Turkey. This study showed clear discrimination among the sampled populations of H. cruciferae. Conclusion This finding is important for control and managing cabbage cyst nematode in cabbage fields in Turkey as more than one Heterodera spp. can occur. Future studies should investigate the population dynamics and control of H. cruciferae in fields in the sampled districts.Öğe Morphological and molecular identification of a new species Meloidogyne artiellia (Franklin) on wheat fauna in Turkey(ENTOMOLOGICAL SOC TURKEY, EGE UNIV, 2014) Imren, Mustafa; Ozarslandan, Adem; Kasapoglu, Ece B.; Toktay, Halil; Elekcioglu, Ibrahim HalilRoot-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) are among some of the most economically important plant parasitic nematodes in the world. It is known that the nematode belong to Meloidogyne genus causes significantly crop losses in vegetables and cereals. The root-knot nematodes, M. artiellia causes damages especially cereals, legumes and cruciferous crops. Isolates of M. artiellia recovered from root and soil samples collected from wheat fields in 2012 growing season were firstly identified by using morphological and molecular aspects in Hatay province of Turkey. M. artiellia was morphologically identified by using morphological features and allometric criteria of second stage juvenile and female. Also, it was molecularly identified by using the sequences of partial mitochondrial DNA cytochrome C oxidase subunit (COI) gene region and clearly separated from other species.Öğe Occurrence and identification of cereal cyst nematode, Heterodera filipjevi (Nemata: Heteroderidae), in Bolu province of Turkey(Organization of Nematologists of Tropical America, 2016) Imren, Mustafa; Toktay, Halil; Kutuk, Halil; Dababat, Abdelfattah A.Cereal cyst nematodes, Heterodera filipjevi, parasitize the roots of wheat and cause significant yield losses around the world. Cereal cyst nematodes are one of the most important and endemic problems in wheat-growing areas especially where rainfall is limited and monoculture crop production practices exist. In Turkey, cereal cyst nematodes are considered among the most damaging pests in wheat. Identifying cyst nematode species and determining their prevalence and distribution in Turkey are important for predicting potential spread in the future. This survey aimed to identify cyst nematode species and to assess their prevalence in cereal growing areas of Bolu province in Turkey. Cereal cyst nematode cysts were found in 83% of the surveyed fields. Prevalence of cysts was greater in cereal-growing areas in the provincial center and in the Gerede district. Morphological features of second-stage juveniles and cysts were examined, and DNA was extracted from second-stage juveniles and the species-specific Sequence Characterized Amplified Region (SCAR) primers were used for molecular identification. Based on both morphological and molecular methods, all samples were identified as H. filipjevi. This study was the first comprehensive investigation of H. filipjevi prevalence in cereal fields in Bolu. This information is of value to alert personnel of wheat breeding programs to develop local resistant varieties to target H. filipjevi.Öğe OCCURRENCE AND IDENTIFICATION OF CEREAL CYST NEMATODE, HETERODERA FILIPJEVI (NEMATA: HETERODERIDAE), IN BOLU PROVINCE OF TURKEY(Organization Trop Amer Nematologists, 2016) Imren, Mustafa; Toktay, Halil; Kutuk, Halil; Dababat, Abdelfattah A.Cereal cyst nematodes, Heterodera filipjevi, parasitize the roots of wheat and cause significant yield losses around the world.

Phytophagous nematodes within twelve genera were detected in 95% of soil samples. The most common phytophagous nematodes in cereal soil were in the genera Heterodera, Ditylenchus, Merlinius, Pratylenchus, Aphelenchus, Aphelenchoides, Tylenchus, Helicotylenchus, Trophurus, Pratylenchoides, Filenchus and Xiphinema (in decreasing order of incidence). In particular, 75% of the soil samples from surveyed fields were infested with the cereal cyst nematodes (Heterodera spp.). Morphological characteristics of cysts and second-stage juveniles were calculated within the expected ranges for Heterodera filipjevi (Madzhidov, 1981) Stelter, 1984, however, two populations from Camardi was determined as Heterodera latipons Franklin, 1969 (Tylenchida: Heteroderidae). Intraspecific variation was not observed within the populations of H. filipjevi which could be in the same genotypic group. In addition to the high incidence of these Heterodera spp., intensive cereal cropping systems with/without non-cereal rotations in wheat production areas of Nigde also resulted in high incidence of root lesion nematode, Pratylenchus species.Öğe Population fluctuations of root-knot nematodes Meloidogyne chitwoodi and M. hapla under field conditions(Springer, 2022) Evlice, Emre; Toktay, Halil; Yatkin, Gokhan; Erdogus, Fatma Dolunay; Imren, MustafaMeloidogyne chitwoodi Golden, O'Bannon, Santo & Finley, 1980 and M. hapla Chitwood, 1949 are important pests of potato in Turkey. This study was conducted in three experimental areas where conventional agronomic practices have been done in Nigde (Center district) and Nevsehir (Center and Derinkuyu districts) provinces. Nematodes were extracted by modified Oostenbrink dish from soil samples taken from 0 to 30 cm depths every month between 2014 and 2017 to assess the population fluctuations of these root-knot nematodes under field conditions. The whole suspension was checked for Meloidogyne juveniles which were counted under an inverted microscope. Morphological and molecular identification results showed that two experimental areas were infested by M. chitwoodi while one experimental area (Derinkuyu) was infested with both M. chitwoodi and M. hapla. Our study showed that M. chitwoodi population level decreased during wheat cultivation and were maintained under rye cultivation, whereas M. chitwoodi and M. hapla population levels increased rapidly under potato and bean cultivation. It was found that M. chitwoodi population increased more when potatoes were planted, while M. hapla increased more in bean. The best sampling time for M. chitwoodi and M. hapla was observed to be right after harvest, when the population was highest, but both could be detected in soil samples even when the ambient temperature was below zero. These results demonstrated that farmers should be careful in their choice of rotational crop with potatoes in areas infested with M. chitwoodi and M. hapla.Öğe Resistance of winter wheat to Heterodera filipjevi in Turkey(TUBITAK SCIENTIFIC & TECHNICAL RESEARCH COUNCIL TURKEY, 2014) Dababat, Abdelfattah A.; Erginbas-Orakci, Gul; Toktay, Halil; Imren, Mustafa; Akin, Beyhan; Braun, Hans-Joachim; Morgounov, AlexeiCereal cyst nematodes (CCNs) are plant parasites that significantly limit global cereal production. The most frequently reported pathogenic species are Heterodera avenae, H. filipjevi, and H. latipons. One of the most cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and easily adopted control measures is the use of genetic host resistance, which maintains nematode populations below the economic damage threshold level. Many effective sources of resistance to CCNs have been identified in cereals; however, their effectiveness and usefulness is dependent on the interaction of the specific putative resistant accession and the CCN pathotype found in a specific region. In this study, 719 wheat lines from the Facultative and Winter Wheat Observation Nurseries, representing a broad geographical spectrum of breeding lines and varieties from Europe, Central Asia, and the International Winter Wheat Improvement Program, were screened against H. filipjevi under controlled conditions. The results indicated that 114 and 90 genotypes were ranked resistant and moderately resistant, representing 15.8% and 12.5% of the screened genotypes, respectively. The frequency of resistant genotypes observed in the germplasms varied significantly among the different original countries and was the highest for genotypes that originated from Bulgaria (59.3%). From those phenotyped germplasms, a set of 289 lines was genotyped to understand if resistance sources are located at the same site or originate from different locations in the genome.Öğe The importance and management strategies of cereal cyst nematodes, Heterodera spp., in Turkey(SPRINGER, 2015) Dababat, Abdelfattah A.; Imren, Mustafa; Erginbas-Orakci, Gul; Ashrafi, Samad; Yavuzaslanoglu, Elif; Toktay, Halil; Mekete, TesfamariamCereal cyst nematodes (CCNs) can cause significant economic yield losses alone or in combination with other biotic and abiotic factors. The damage caused by these nematodes can be enormous when they occur in a disease complex, particularly in areas subject to water stress. Of the 12 valid CCN species, Heterodera avenae, H. filipjevi, and H. latipons are considered the most economically important in different parts of the world. This paper reviews current approaches to managing CCNs via genetic resistance, biological agents, cultural practices, and chemical strategies. Recent research within the soil borne pathogen program of the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center has focused on germplasm screening, the potential of this germplasm as sources of resistance, and how to incorporate new sources of resistance into breeding programs. Breeding for resistance is particularly complicated and difficult when different species and pathotypes coexist in nature. A lack of expertise and recognition of CCNs as a factor limiting wheat production potential, combined with inappropriate breeding strategies and slow screening processes limit genetic gains for resistance to CCNs.
