Analysis of Fungi Control for Plant Nematodes

Fungi are important natural enemies of nematodes in soil ecosystems, which can suppress populations of plant parasitic nematodes. These fungi are broadly distributed in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems from the tropics to Antarctica. Efforts have frequently been made to control diseases caused by plant-parasitic nematodes by using nematode-trapping fungi, but results have been inconsistent. Nematophagous fungi are classified based on the mode of their inhibitory action against plant-parasitic nematodes, including predatory fungi, parasitic fungi, and toxin-producing fungi.

Lifeasible makes full use of our specialized libraries, selection strategies, and maturation techniques to optimize the stability and performance of plant science. With advanced technology and experienced staff, we provide analysis of fungi control for plant nematodes to global clients to support their research.

Control of Plant Nematodes by Predatory Fungi

• The fungi which grow on the epidermis and feed on other living microorganisms by their trapping ability for their nutrition are known as predatory fungi or carnivorous fungi.
• There are more than 200 species have been discovered belonging to the phylum basidiomycota, ascomycota, and mucoromycota have. Most of them feed on plant-parasitic nematodes and are known as nematophagous fungi.
• Lifeasible provides services for the analysis of fungi predation on plant nematodes. We help to analyze the factors that induce the formation of the predatory organ of the fungi, in addition to the sticky material produced by the predatory organ.

Control of Plant Nematodes by Parasitic Fungi

• Parasitic fungi has the capability to infect and destroy the nematode's eggs. Most of these fungi are also saprophytic and can invade mortal eggs. Examples of these fungi belong to genera Paecilomyces, Pochonia, and Hirsutella.
• In addition, amongst the parasitic fungi, a promising application is a group of opportunistic fungi. These are fungi that colonize stationary endoparasite nematodes such as root-knot nematodes, cyst nematodes, and coccidiostat nematodes.
• We provide services for the analysis of fungi parasitism on plant nematodes, including different species of parasitic and opportunistic fungi.

Control of Plant Nematodes by Toxin-Producing Fungi

• All fungi capable of producing toxic nematode toxins are known as toxin-producing fungi and are divided into two main groups, exclusively and partly toxin-producing. To date, nearly 230 metabolites active against nematodes have been isolated from more than 280 strains of 150 genera.
• We offer services for analyzing fungi poisoning on plant nematodes, helping analyze some of the main groups of toxigenic fungi.
