The series of experiments described in this thesis were designed to investigate the role of suckling or late weaning in the response of young lambs to nematode infection. All experiments were conducted outdoors with grazing animals and no supplementation but for suckled groups of lambs whose counterparts were weaned to ryegrass – white clover swards. The parasite of interest was mainly Teladorsagia circumcincta solely but with mixed infection of Trichostrongylus colubriformis in one instance. In Chapter 3 (first experiment), the hypothesis that milk per se may have a direct effect on nematode development, rather than an indirect effect through enhancement of host immunity by superior nutrient supply was tested. Sixty, twinborn lambs were used, allocated to one of eight groups formed by either dosing lambs from 42 days of age or not with the equivalent of 1000 or 250 L₃ T. circumcincta larvae d⁻¹ until five days before necropsy, while a twin was either weaned at 39 days of age, suckled as single or twin until necropsy on day 84. The possibility that weaning one of a twin set onto pasture in close proximity to the ewe would cause abnormal ewe and lamb behaviour was tested by replicating the work in twins maintained as twins but in which one twin received equivalent of 250 and the other 1000 L₃ T. circumcincta larvae d⁻¹. This showed no abnormal ewe nursing or lamb suckling behaviour as a result of weaning a twin in a set. Relatively low faecal egg counts (FEC) and a two to three fold lower worm burdens suggest suckling could reduce larval establishment. Inability to detect peripheral titres of immunoglobulins supports this conclusion. An intra worm-population regulation of T. circumcincta, indicated by a pattern of greater egg-laying by a numerically smaller but physiologically better developed nematode population in suckled lambs measured in eggs 'in utero' and worm length made interpretation of FEC difficult. Suckling significantly improved weight gain and carcass weights, but early weaning did not reduce resilience to infection. In Chapter 4 (second experiment), 40 pairs of twin lambs, average age of 39 days, were either infected with the equivalent of 1000 L₃ T. circumcincta larvae d⁻¹ or not, while one twin was weaned and the other allowed to continue suckling. Necropsy was carried out on groups of five and six lambs from each of the uninfected and infected treatments, respectively, at mean age of 84, 112, and on six lambs from each group at 140 days of age. This serial slaughter allowed further confirmation of the hypothesis in Chapter 3 but also investigated the long-term effect of suckling on resistance or resilience of lambs at the trial when immune responses were anticipated to be developing. An in vitro direct larval challenge (IVDC) study, to monitor larval establishment, was carried out on tissue explants from necropsied lambs. Suckled lambs consistently showed lower FEC (P < 0.05) and worm burdens (P < 0.05) at every phase of the trial. Within the infected groups, % in vitro larval rejection suggested earlier immune responses in the weaned lambs by day 84, which was not consistent with lower worm burdens in suckled lambs but appeared similar in the subsequent necropsies. Lambs continued to show better growth due to suckling while weaning did not reduce the resilience of lambs confirming observations in Chapter 3. The immunoglobulin profile suggested the commencement of immune responses in lambs from the period after the 84th day necropsy, with significantly greater (P < 0.01) IgA titre in the infected groups, and the suckled lambs towards the end of the trial on day 140. A vaccinating effect of early exposure to parasites was coincidentally revealed as a result of unintentional pasture larval contamination, seen in suckled non-infected lambs shedding fewer eggs and harbouring fewer worms during the later necropsies compared with their weaned non-infected counterparts. In Chapter 5 (third trial), 93 pairs of twin lambs, 47 pairs of which received a vaccinating mixed infection of T. circumcincta and T. colubriformis larvae (60 L₃ / kg W / d) at ratio 40:60, respectively during the period 36 – 103 days of age, were either weaned early on day 51 or later on day 108. All lambs were drenched on day 108 and groups received challenge infections from day 116, at same rate with the vaccinating infection, or not, which ceased five days before respective necropsies. Necropsies were carried out on selected lambs on days 108, 184 and 218. The direct effect of milk on larval establishment appeared to feature only in the T. circumcincta populations on slaughter day 108. The long-term benefit of late weaning for development of resistance was conditional on lambs receiving the vaccinating infection, and appeared to be more pronounced in the small intestine, reflected by a greater reduction of T. colubriformis populations in that organ than of T. circumcincta populations in the abomasum. A negative consequence of enhanced immune response was the suggestion of an increased metabolic cost in reduced performance of lambs. In conclusion, the work provides support to the hypotheses that: (a.) suckling may reduce the establishment of nematode larvae through the direct effect of milk, (b.) may enhance rapid development of host immunity to infection, and (c.) it further suggests that lack of larval experience during suckling may have long term negative implications for host resistance. Finally, it suggests that milk may play little role in the enhancement of host resilience to infection and, on the contrary, that additional metabolic cost may be associated with a more rapid development of immunity resulting from larval challenge while suckling.

Inicialmente foram avaliadas diferentes dosagens dos nematóides contra larvas do inseto. O nematóide Steinernema sp. apresentou-se mais eficiente no controle de larvas, podendo ser utilizada na menor dosagem avaliada (2,4 JI/cm2), já que ocasionou 69% de mortalidade corrigida do inseto em estufa, não diferindo significamente das maiores dosagens. Esse nematóide apresentou-se mais eficiente também contra adultos do inseto, em teste de laboratório, proporcionando níveis de mortalidade do inseto igual ou superior a 70% nas dosagens de 2,4, 12 e 60 JI/cm2, quando avaliado em associação com o inseticida thiamethoxam na subdosagem de 250 g p.c./ha. No teste de campo foi possível verificar nas parcelas tratadas com Steinernema sp., na dosagem de l,0xl08 JI/ha, associado ao thiamethoxam na dose de 500 g p.c./ha, ganho superior a 28 toneladas de cana crua quando 2 comparada a testemunha. Quanto ao efeito de fipronil e thiamethoxam sobre a viabilidade dos nematóides em laboratório, esses produtos químicos apresentaram-se compatíveis a esses agentes, não afetando a viabilidade dos juvenis infectivos. O nematóide Steinernema sp. é uma alternativa viável para o controle de S. levis, podendo ser usado isoladamente ou associado com subdosagem de thiamethoxam. Palavras-chave: controle microbiano, controle biológico, bicudo da cana de açúcar, inseticida químico, nematóide entomopatogênico. / With the purpose to find new alternatives to control the sugarcane billbug Sphenophorus levis, this study aimed to evaluate in laboratory, green house and field conditions, the effect of the nematodes Heterorhabditis indica and Steinernema sp., in combinations with sub-dosages of the chemical insecticides fipronil (Regent 800WG), thiametoxam (Actara 250WG) and imidacloprid (Confidor700WG), against larva and adults of this pest. Firstly, several dosages of the nematodes were evaluated against larvae. The nematode Steinernema sp. was the most efficient against larva, with its dosage of 2,4 IJ/cm2 showing to be the best one for the insect control since it provide 69% larva mortality, not significantly differing from the other dosages. This nematode was also the most efficient against adults in laboratory test, providing insect mortality levels equal or higher than 70% when evaluated at the dosages of 2,4; 12 and 60 IJ/ha, in combination with thiametoxam at the sub-dosage 250 g c.p./ha. The insecticides fipronil and thiamethoxam did not affected the viability of the infect juveniles. For the field test, the combination of Steinernema sp. (108 IJ/ha) plus thiamethoxam (500 g c.p./ha) provided an increasing to the sugarcane production higher than 28 ton/ha. The nematode Steinernema sp. seems to be a viable alternative for the 4 controlling of S. levis, providing expressive increasing to the sugarcane production when used alone or in combination with thiamethoxam.

As to the first objective, seven F5 populations were selected based on the microsatellite marker polymorphism of GL G and A2. These populations were phenotypically evaluated as to the resistance to the race 3 of the NCS (HG type 5.7). Families F6:7 of the populations selected by the GL A2 were susceptible and those selected by the GL G and A2 achieved four resistant families and four moderately resistant families, thus demonstrating that the QTL of greater effect of the GL A2 is not present in the source of resistance of the present study. The microsatellites of the GL G presented high selection efficiency and can be used with success in the assisted selection for the resistance to race 3 and in populations come from Vmax. As to the second objective, 36 genotypes were used, including Brazilian resistant cultivars and original genotypes (sources of resistance to NCS and the cultivar Lee, used as a standard of susceptibility). 24 QTLs near microsatellites were used of NCS resistance present in the linkage groups G, A2, D2, E, J and M. The genetic diversity of each microsatellite was evaluated by the polymorphism index content (PIC) and by the average dissimilarity of a genotype in relation to the other genotypes evaluated. Genotype grouping analyses were carried out by the Tocher method and graphic dispersion. A total of 77 alleles, with an average of 3.2 alleles per locus, was achieved for the 36 cultivars. The PIC varied from 0.11 to 0.71, with an average of 0.36. A greater number of alleles were found in the original sources, in comparison to the commercial varieties. The GL D2 was very important in the discrimination of genotypes which are resistant and moderately resistant to the race 14. The genetic basis as to the NCS resistance in the commercial variety developed by the Brazilian breeding programs is very narrow, and it is necessary to increase the diversity of the genes used, by introducing different accesses. / Diante da dificuldade na realização da seleção fenotípica para a resistência ao nematóide de cisto da soja (NCS), da necessidade da implantação da seleção assistida por marcadores a este patógeno e do pouco conhecimento da diversidade genética das cultivares resistentes desenvolvidas pelos programas de melhoramento do Brasil, este trabalho teve como objetivos: (1) utilizar estratégias de seleção assistida por marcadores para avaliar a eficiência de seleção de microssatélites próximos a QTLs (Quantitative trait loci) dos grupos de ligação (GL) G e A2 em populações originadas do cruzamento entre isolinhas derivadas das cultivares CD201 e Vmax; e (2) avaliar a diversidade genética entre cultivares de soja resistentes ao NCS desenvolvidas por seis programas de melhoramento do Brasil e entre fontes de resistência ao NCS, por meio de marcadores microssatélites próximos a QTLs que conferem resistência ao patógeno. Em relação ao primeiro objetivo, foram selecionadas sete populações F5 com base no polimorfismo de marcadores microssatélites dos GL G e A2, as quais foram avaliadas fenotipicamente quanto à resistência à raça 3 do NCS (HG tipo 5.7). Famílias F6:7 das populações selecionadas pelo GL A2 foram suscetíveis, e as selecionadas pelos GL G e A2 tiveram quatro famílias resistentes e quatro moderadamente resistentes, evidenciando que o QTL de efeito maior do GL A2 não está presente na fonte de resistência do presente estudo. Os microssatélites do GL G apresentaram alta eficiência de seleção e podem ser utilizados com sucesso na seleção assistida para a resistência à raça 3 e em populações derivadas de Vmax. Em relação ao segundo objetivo, foram utilizados 36 genótipos, incluindo cultivares resistentes do Brasil e genótipos originais (fontes de resistência ao NCS e a cultivar Lee, utilizada como padrão de suscetibilidade). Foram utilizados 24 microssatélites próximos aos QTLs de resistência ao NCS presentes nos grupos de ligação (GL) G, A2, D2, E, J e M. A diversidade genética de cada loco microssatélite foi avaliada pelo conteúdo da informação de polimorfismo (PIC) e pela dissimilaridade média de um genótipo em relação aos demais genótipos avaliados. Foram realizadas análises de agrupamento dos genótipos pelo método de Tocher e dispersão gráfica. Um total de 77 alelos, com uma média de 3,2 alelos por loco, foi obtido para as 36 cultivares. O PIC variou de 0,11 a 0,71, com uma média de 0,36. Entre as fontes originais encontrou-se um número de alelos maior que entre as variedades comerciais. O GL D2 foi muito importante na discriminação entre genótipos resistentes e moderadamente resistentes à raça 14. A base genética quanto à resistência ao NCS nas variedades comerciais desenvolvidas pelos programas de melhoramento no Brasil é muito estreita, sendo necessário aumentar a diversidade de genes utilizados, por meio da introdução de diferentes acessos.

CAPES; Fundação Araucária / O controle biológico e a adição de matéria orgânica ao solo representam as principais alternativas para o controle do nematoide-de-galhas. Os objetivos deste estudo foram avaliar o efeito do subproduto sólido da indústria vinícola (SSIV) sobre o desenvolvimento, in vitro, de Pochonia chlamydosporia e o efeito da associação do SSIV a esse fungo no manejo de Meloidogyne javanica em tomateiros, em casa de vegetação. Para avaliar o efeito direto do SSIV sobre o desenvolvimento do fungo, adicionaram-se as concentrações (0; 5; 10; e 15%) do extrato aquoso do SSIV em meio de cultivo batata-dextrose-ágar (BDA) fundente. Em seguida, a mistura foi vertida em placas de Petri e um disco de meio de cultivo ‘Corn Meal Ágar’ (CMA) colonizado pelo fungo foi colocado no centro de cada placa. Em outro estudo avaliou-se o efeito dos compostos voláteis do SSIV sobre o desenvolvimento de P. chlamydosporia. Para isto, utilizaram-se placas de Petri bipartidas, adicionando em um dos compartimentos as concentrações do SSIV (0,000; 0,065; 0,125; 0,250; e 0,500 g placa-1) e 2 mL de água destilada esterilizada placa-1. No centro do outro compartimento contendo meio de cultivo BDA, adicionou-se um disco de meio de cultivo CMA colonizado pelo fungo. As placas dos dois estudos foram armazenadas em câmara de crescimento, no escuro, a 21°C. Os dois estudos foram realizados duas vezes. Após 14 dias avaliaram-se o diâmetro das colônias e a produção de conídios do fungo. O SSIV reduziu de 9 a 21% o crescimento do fungo nos dois estudos, bem como reduziu a produção de conídios no primeiro estudo. Em casa de vegetação, avaliou-se a associação do SSIV (30 g kg-1 de substrato) às concentrações de P. chlamydosporia com clamidósporos (500; 1.500; 2.500; 3.500; 4.500; e 5.000 clamidósporos g-1 de substrato) ou sem clamidósporos (2,5; 5; 10; e 15 g de inóculo do fungo kg-1 de substrato). Três tratamentos foram utilizados como controle em cada ensaio: adição de P. chlamydosporia (5.000 clamidósporos g-1 de substrato ou 15 g de inóculo do fungo kg-1 de substrato), adição de SSIV (30 g do SSIV kg-1 de substrato) e apenas o substrato. Em seguida, cada saco contendo 4 kg de substrato esterilizado e os respectivos tratamentos foi infestado com 6.000 ovos de M. javanica kg-1 de substrato, homogeneizado e umedecido até 60% de capacidade de campo e armazenado por 14 dias no escuro, a 25 ºC. Depois, o substrato foi transferido para vasos de polipropileno de 500 mL, e uma muda de tomateiro foi transplantada para cada vaso. Após 60 dias foram avaliados a altura, a massa da parte aérea e das raízes frescas e o número de galhas e de ovos do nematoide. A associação do SSIV ao fungo, independentemente do tipo de inóculo do fungo, potencializou o desenvolvimento dos tomateiros e o controle do nematoide. As concentrações mais indicadas do fungo para se associar ao SSIV foram 3.500 clamidósporos g-1 de substrato e 15 g do inóculo sem clamidósporos kg-1 de substrato, pois, além de controlarem efetivamente o nematoide, também proporcionaram o desenvolvimento dos tomateiros. Conclui-se que a associação do SSIV ao fungo P. chlamydosporia potencializa o manejo do nematoide-de-galhas. / The biological control and the addition of organic matter to the soil represent the main alternatives for the control of root-knot nematode. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effect of solid wine industry by-product (SSIV) on the development, in vitro, of Pochonia chlamydosporia and the effect of combining this fungus with the SSIV on the management of Meloidogyne javanica in tomatoes grown in a greenhouse. To evaluate the direct effect of the SSIV on fungal development, concentrations (0, 5, 10, and 15%) of the aqueous SSIV extract were applied to potato-dextrose-agar (BDA) culture medium. The mixture was then poured into Petri dishes and a disk of 'Corn Meal Agar' (CMA) culture medium colonized by the fungus was placed in the centre of each plate. A further study evaluated the effect of volatile SSIV compounds on the development of P. chlamydosporia. For this, twopart Petri dishes were utilised, to one of the compartments the concentrations of SSIV (0.000, 0.065, 0.125, 0.250, and 0.500 g plate-1) and 2 mL plate-1 sterile distilled water were added. To the other compartment, which contained BDA culture medium, a disc of CMA culture medium colonised by the fungus was added in the centre. The plates from the two studies were stored in a growth chamber in the dark at 21 °C. The two studies were performed twice. After 14 days, the diameter of the colonies and the production of fungal conidia were evaluated. The SSIV reduced fungal growth by 9 to 21% in the two studies, and reduced conidia production in the first study. In the greenhouse, the combination of SSIV (30 g kg-1 of substrate) with the concentrations of P. chlamydosporia with chlamydospores (500; 1,500; 2,500; 3,500; 4,500; and 5,000 chlamydospores g-1 of substrate) or without chlamydospores (2.5, 5, 10, and 15 g of inoculum of fungus kg-1 substrate) were evaluated. Three treatments were used as controls in each assay: the addition of P. chlamydosporia (5,000 chlamydospores g-1 substrate or 15 g of inoculum of fungus kg-1 of substrate), the addition of SSIV (30 g SSIV kg-1 of substrate) and only substrate. Following this, each bag containing 4 kg of sterilised substrate and the respective treatments were infested with 6,000 M. javanica eggs kg-1 of substrate, homogenized, moistened until 60% of field capacity and then stored for 14 days in the dark at 25 °C. The substrate was then transferred to 500 ml polypropylene pots, and one tomato seeding was transplanted into each pot. After 60 days the height, the shoot and fresh root masses, and the numbers of nematode galls and eggs were evaluated. The combination of SSIV and the fungus, independent of the type of fungal inoculum, increased the development of the tomato plants and the control of the nematodes. The fungal concentrations most recommended to combine with the SSIV were 3,500 chlamydospores g-1 of substrate and 15 g of inoculum without chlamydospores kg-1 of substrate, because, besides controlling effectively the nematode, they also improved the development of the tomato plants. It was concluded that the combination of SSIV and the fungus P. chlamydosporia improves the management of this root-knot nematode.

CAPES - Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / A produção de borracha natural de seringueira (Hevea brasiliensis) é uma atividade estratégica para a economia nacional. O principal fator redutor da produtividade dessa atividade é a ocorrência de doenças no seringal. O nematoide de galhas (Meloidogyne exigua) é a principal doença radicular dessa cultura no Brasil e sua identificação antecipada permite um melhor manejo desta epidemia no seringal e a redução de seus prejuízos. O objetivo desse estudo foi identificar áreas com a ocorrência de M. exigua em seringais através do uso dos índices espectrais de vegetação - Índice de Vegetação por Diferença Normalizada (NDVI) e Índice de Razão Simples (RS) - gerados a partir de imagens da constelação de satélites RapidEye® (resolução de 5 metros). Seringais produtivos, com pelo menos 7 anos de plantio, em Minas Gerais (irrigado) e em Goiás (não irrigado) foram amostrados e georreferenciados na segunda metade do período das chuvas e as densidades de nematoides no solo, nas raízes e total foram estimadas. O seringal em Minas Gerais foi amostrado inicialmente seguindo as anormalidades evidenciadas pelo índice NDVI gerado através de imagens do satélite Landsat 8 (resolução de 30 metros). O seringal em Goiás foi amostrado aleatoriamente com o intuito de validar os resultados observados no seringal em Minas Gerais. Apesar de serem identificadas regressões significativas com o uso de imagens de alta resolução (RapidEye®) entre as variáveis densidades de nematoides e os índices espectrais de vegetação, nenhuma apresentou coeficiente de determinação (R2) superior a 0,31. A estatística descritiva do conjunto de dados de ambos os seringais não identificou diferenças entre as áreas para as densidades de nematoides encontradas nas raízes ou a densidade total, no entanto, a densidade de nematoides no solo foi aproximadamente 236% superior no seringal em Goiás, enquanto que ambos os índices neste seringal foram inferiores aos índices estimados para o seringal em Minas Gerais. Está diferença foi consequência da irrigação na área em Minas Gerais. As correlações de Pearson, Spearman e Kendall foram calculadas para as densidades de nematoides e os índices espectrais. As correlações entre a densidade de nematoides do seringal e o índice NDVI foram as que apresentaram os maiores coeficientes significativos para qualquer das correlações avaliadas. Através do índice NDVI é possível diferenciar um seringal não infestado de um seringal infestado pelo nematoide de galhas M. exigua. / The production of natural rubber from rubber trees (Hevea brasiliensis) is a strategic activity for Brazilian economy. The main factor reducing productivity of this activity is the occurrence of diseases in the rubber plantation. The root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne exigua) is the main root disease of this culture in Brazil and its early identification enables better management of its outbreak in orchards and the reduction of their losses. This study identified areas with the occurrence of M. exigua in rubber plantations through the use of spectral vegetation indices - Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Simple Ratio Index (SR) - generated from images of the constellation RapidEye® satellites (5 meters resolution). Productive rubber plantations, at least 7 years old, in Minas Gerais (irrigated) and Goiás (non-irrigated) states were sampled and georeferenced in the second half of the rainny season and the quantities of nematodes in soil, roots and total were estimated. The rubber plantation in Minas Gerais was sampled initially following the abnormalities detected by the NDVI index generated through the images of Landsat 8 satellite (30 meters resolution). The rubber plantation in Goiás was sampled randomly to validate the results observed in the first rubber plantation (Minas Gerais). In spite of the identification of significant regressions with the use of high resolution images (RapidEye®) between the variables quantities of nematodes and spectral vegetation indices, none showed a coefficient of determination (R2) greater than 0.31. The descriptive statistics of the data set from both surveys did not identify differences in the quantities of nematodes found in the roots or the total quantity between the areas, however, the amount of nematodes in the soil was approximately 236% greater in Goiás rubber plantation, while both spectral vegetation indices (NDVI and SR) in this rubber plantation were lower than the indices estimated for the rubber plantation in Minas Gerais. This difference was a result of irrigation in the area in Minas Gerais. The correlations of Pearson, Spearman and Kendall were calculated between the densities of nematodes and the spectral vegetation indexes. The correlations between the amount of nematodes in rubber trees plantation and NDVI index showed the best significant coefficients for any of the correlations evaluated. Through the NDVI index it is possible to differentiate an infested rubber tree plantation from a non-infested rubber tree plantation by M. exigua root-knot nematode. / Tese (Doutorado)

This study evaluated the effect of Pratlenchus brachyurus and Fusarium verticillioides, and their relationship, on growth and development of two mayze hybrids (30F80 and 30K73). The experiment was conducted in greenhouse conditions at Pioneer Hi-bred Research Center in Itumbiara, GO, Brazil. The experimental design was randomized blocks with 15 treatments and 10 replications. Treatments included a non-inoculated control; inoculation of Fusarium in the seed and in the soil; three populations levels of Pratylenchus at sowing and at 30 days after planting (50, 100 and 500 nematodes/plot), with and without the inoculation of Fusarium in the soil; and three populations leves of Pratylenchus inoculated 30 days after sowing with Fusarium inoculated in seed at sowing. At plant maturity the following variables were evaluated: plant height and ear length, stalk diameter, root fresh and dry matter, stalk fresh and dry matter, reproduction factor and fusariosis severity on the stalk. Fusarium stalk colonization was evaluated in a scale from 1 to 9. The 30F80 hybrid had lower plant height and ear length, stalk diameter, stalk and root fresh matter when the seeds were inoculated with the suspension of Fusarium and sowing immediately after inoculation. The maize hybrids 30F80 and 30K73, showed the lowest root length, stalk fresh and dry matter, and root fresh and dry matter mainly when the soil was inoculated with Fusarium and sown in the same day, and the inoculation with 500 juveniles and/or adults of Pratylenchus, was done 30 days after sowing. The maize hybrid 30K73 obtained lower plant height and ear length when seeds were inoculated with the suspension of Fusarium and sown in the same day. Maize seeds inoculated with Fusarium verticillioides at planting decreased plant height, ear length, and root and shoot fresh weight on both hybrids. Stalk diameter of 30K73 hybrid and root length of hybrid 30K73 were also reduced. Soil inoculation of Fusarium verticillioides at planting and Pratylenchus brachyurus inoculated 30 days after planting (500 nematodes/plot) decreased root elongation and stalk, and root dry weights on both hybrids. However, plant height was only reduced on 30K73 hybrid. Future research is needed to better understand the relationship between Pratylenchus brachyurus and Fusarium verticillioides on maize growth and development. / O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o efeito de Pratylenchus brachyurus e/ou Fusarium verticillioides e sua relação no desenvolvimento de dois híbridos de milho (30F80 e 30K73). O experimento foi conduzido em casa de vegetação no Centro de Pesquisa da Pioneer Sementes de Itumbiara-GO. O delineamento experimental foi inteiramente ao acaso com 15 tratamentos/por híbrido (totalizando 30 tratamentos) e 10 repetições. Os tratamentos foram: testemunha (sem inoculações), inoculação de fungo nas sementes e no solo; inoculação de três populações de nematóide na semeadura e 30 dias após a semeadura (50, 100 e 500 nematóides/vaso), com e sem inoculação do fungo no solo; e três níveis populacionais de nematóides inoculados 30 dias após a semeadura, com o fungo inoculado na semente. Após a maturação (estádio R7), foram avaliadas as características: altura de planta e de espiga, diâmetro de colmo, matéria fresca e seca de raiz, matéria fresca e seca de colmo, fator de reprodução do nematóide e severidade de fusariose no colmo do milho. Observou-se que o híbrido de milho 30F80 obteve uma menor altura de planta e de espiga, diâmetro de colmo, matéria fresca de colmo e de raíz, quando as sementes foram inoculadas com a suspensão de conídios de Fusarium verticillioides e semeadura realizada no mesmo dia dessa inoculação. Os híbridos de milho 30F80 e 30K73 apresentaram o menor comprimento de raiz, matéria fresca e seca de colmo, e matéria fresca e seca de raiz, principalmente quando o solo foi inoculado com Fusarium verticillioides, semeou-se no mesmo dia e a inoculação do nematóide na população de 500 juvenis e/ou adultos de Pratylenchus brachyurus realizada 30 dias após a semeadura. O híbrido de milho 30K73 obteve uma menor altura de planta e de espiga quando as sementes foram inoculadas com a suspensão de conídios de Fusarium verticillioides e semeadura realizada no mesmo dia dessa inoculação. Sementes de milho inoculadas com o fungo na semeadura diminuiram a altura de planta e de espiga e peso fresco de raiz e de parte aérea nos dois híbridos de milho. Diâmetro de colmo no híbrido 30F80 e comprimento de raiz no híbrido 30K73 também foram reduzidos. A inoculação do solo com o fungo na semeadura e nematóide inoculado 30 dias após (500) proporcionou menor comprimento de raiz e peso seco e fresco de raiz e colmo nos dois híbridos. Contudo, altura de planta foi reduzida somente no híbrido 30K73. Outros estudos de interações entre microrganismos, em especial de Pratylenchus brachyurus e Fusarium verticilliodes, deverão ser realizados, a fim de melhor entender o efeito desta combinação no prejuízo das plantas. / Mestre em Agronomia

Experiments were done in Campo Alegre de Goiás and Gameleira de Goiás, agricultural year 2006/07, using randomized blocks, with three repetitions. The treatments were arranged in a factorial design 4 x 4 + 1, with four cultivars (BRSGO Ipameri, BRSGO Luziânia, BRSGO Jataí BRS Silvânia RR), four forms of weed control (hand weeding, chlorimuron-ethyl + lactofen, chlorimuron-ethyl and haloxyfop-methyl), and additional treatment represented by the combination of transgenic cultivar BRS Silvânia RR and herbicide glyphosate. In agricultural year 2009/2010, another test was conducted in Gameleira de Goiás, with four repetitions, in a factorial design 2 x 4 + 2, involving two cultivars (BRSGO Chapadões and BRSGO 8360), four forms of weed control (hand weeding, lactofen, chlorimuron-ethyl; haloxifop-r), and two additional treatments represented by the combination of transgenic cultivar BRS Valiosa RR with control manual weed and chemical control via herbicide glyphosate. In the agricultural year 2006/07, in Campo Alegre de Goiás, eighty days after planting, there was less formation of viable cysts in cultivar BRS Silvânia RR associated with the application of clorimuron + lactofen, compared to manual control. In Gameleira de Goias, it was found, forty days after planting, increase in the number of viable cysts using herbicides, compared with manual control, in cultivar susceptible BRSGO Luziânia, BRSGO Ipameri, resistant to H. glycines, the number of viable cysts was lower when applied herbicides clorimuron+lactofen or haloxyfop, compared the application of clorimuron. The herbicides had no effect on the number of females in susceptible and resistant cultivars in the year 2009/10. In cultivar susceptible BRSGO 8360, the herbicide haloxifop led to a smaller number of females, in comparison with clorimuron, 45 days after sowing. The herbicide lactofen, in the cultivar BRSGO Chapadões (resistant) was associated with increase in the number of viable cysts 45 days after sowing. This herbicide affects negatively the biomass of leaves, fresh green beans and dry bean in the cultivars BRSGO Chapadões and BRSGO 8360. / O trabalho objetivou avaliar o efeito de herbicidas sobre a densidade populacional de H. glycines em cultivares de soja (uma resistente e três suscetíveis), em condições naturais de infestação. Experimentos foram conduzidos em Campo Alegre de Goiás e Gameleira de Goiás, safra 2006/07, utilizando delineamento de blocos casualizados, com três repetições. Os tratamentos foram arranjados em esquema fatorial 4x4+1, sendo: quatro cultivares (BRSGO Ipameri, BRSGO Luziânia, BRSGO Jataí, BRS Silvânia RR); quatro formas de controle de plantas daninhas (arranquio manual, chlorimuron-etil+lactofen, chlorimuron-etil e haloxyfop-metil); e o tratamento adicional representado pela combinação da cultivar transgênica BRS Silvânia RR e o herbicida glifosato. Na safra 2009/10, outro ensaio foi conduzido em Gameleira de Goiás, com quatro repetições, em esquema fatorial 2x4+2, envolvendo duas cultivares (BRSGO Chapadões e BRSGO 8360) quatro formas de controle de plantas daninhas (arranquio manual, lactofen, chlorimuron-etil e haloxifop-r), e os dois tratamentos adicionais que consistiram das combinações entre a cultivar BRS Valiosa RR com o controle manual das plantas daninhas e com o controle químico via herbicida glifosato. Na safra 2006/07, em Campo Alegre de Goiás, aos oitenta dias após o plantio, observou-se menor formação de cistos viáveis na cultivar BRS Silvânia RR, associado à aplicação de clorimuron + lactofen, em comparação ao controle manual. Em Gameleira de Goiás, verificou-se, aos quarenta dias após o plantio, aumento do número de cistos viáveis com o uso de herbicidas, em comparação com o controle manual, na cultivar suscetível BRSGO Luziânia, já na cultivar BRSGO Ipameri, resistente a H. glycines, o número de cistos viáveis foi menor quando se aplicou os herbicidas clorimuron+lactofen ou haloxifop, em comparação à aplicação de clorimuron. Na safra 2009/10, os herbicidas não influenciaram o comportamento das cultivares (resistente ou suscetíveis) quanto ao número de fêmeas. Na cultivar suscetível BRSGO Luziânia, o herbicida haloxifop possibilitou a formação de menor número de fêmeas, em comparação com clorimuron, aos 45 dias após o plantio. O herbicida lactofen, em BRSGO Chapadões, resistente, esteve associado com o aumento na formação de cistos viáveis, aos 45 dias após o plantio. Este herbicida afetou negativamente a produção de biomassa de planta seca, vagem fresca e vagem seca nas cultivares BRSGO Chapadões e BRSGO 8360.

<p>Vr&scaron;eno je istraživanje intestinalnih nematoda žutogrlog mi&scaron;a (<em>Apodemus flavicollis&nbsp; </em>Melchior, 1834) uzorkovanog sa 18 lokaliteta na teritoriji Srbije, južno od Save i Dunava, sa ciljem pro&scaron;irenja i upotpunjavanja saznanja o ovoj komponenti parazitofaune glodara u ovom delu Evrope. Fauna nematoda crevnog trakta je analizirana sa vi&scaron;e aspekata: kvantitativnog, aspekta zajednica, biolo&scaron;kog, aspekta biodiverziteta i aspekta polne strukture. Pored toga, ispitan je uticaj odabranih<br />spolja&scaron;njih i unutra&scaron;njih faktora na prevalencu i abundancu parazitske infekcije.</p><p>Zabeleženo je prisustvo devet vrsta intestinalnih nematoda, pri čemu je broj vrsta po lokalitetu varirao od 1 do 7. Ukupna prevalenca infekcije iznosila je 81,6%. Najče&scaron;će vrste u uzorku bile su <em>Heligmosomoides polygyrus </em>i&nbsp;<em> Syphacia stroma</em>, koje su<br />se odlikovale najvi&scaron;im prevalencama i intenzitetima infekcije. Distribucija nematoda unutar domaćina je bila agregirana. Broj vrsta po domaćinu varirao je od 1 do 5, ali su najzastupljenije bile infekcije jednom ili dvema vrstama. Najče&scaron;ća kombinacija<br />vrsta bila je&nbsp;<em> H. polygyrus-S. stroma;</em> međutim, odsustvo podataka iz ranijih istraživanja i adekvatnih polaznih modela sprečava dono&scaron;enje zaključaka o mogućim interakcijama i asocijacijama između vrsta.</p><p>Monoksene nematode su bile brojnije i imale veću prevalencu od heteroksenih nematoda, &scaron;to oslikava&nbsp; razlike u njihovim životnim ciklusima. Među monoksenim nematodama, geohelminti u užem smislu su se odlikovali najvećim prevalencama, a ageohelminti najvećom abundancom, u skladu sa životnim strategijama koje teže ka disperziji ili akumulaciji.&Scaron;enonov indeks diverziteta cele uzoračke populacije iznosio je 1,44 &scaron;to je visoka vrednost u odnosu na one iz drugih delova Evrope. Nije uočena značajna negativna korelacija između udaljenosti lokaliteta i vrednosti Sorensenovog indeksa,ukazujući da je prostorni faktor značajan u strukturiranju zajednica intestinalnih nematoda i na lokalnom nivou. Odnos polova je bio neravnomeran, uglavnom u korist ženki, u skladu sa podacima drugih autora. Ženke su ujedno bile krupnije od mužjaka, saglasno sa ranijim nalazima za parazitske nematode. Nadmorska visina nije uticala na abundancu intestinalnih nematoda. Pol domaćina je uticao na prevalencu dve vrste: prevalenca&nbsp; <em>S. stroma</em>&nbsp; je bila veća kod mužjaka, a prevalenca<em> Trichuris muris</em>&nbsp; kod ženki. Kao značajan faktor uticao je na abundancu samo kod vrste&nbsp;<em> Aonchotheca annulosa</em>; abundanca ove vrste bila je veća kod mužjaka. Rezultati sugeri&scaron;u da je uticaj pola domaćina na nivo parazitske infekcije izuzetno kompleksan fenomen.&nbsp; Prevalenca i abundanca infekcije intestinalnim nematodama je bila veća kod domaćina sa B hromozomima.&nbsp; Lokalitet je bio značajan faktor u variranju abundance nematoda. Uzrast i prisustvo drugih vrsta nematoda su&nbsp; takođe ispoljavali značajan efekat. Povećanje abundance nematoda sa uzrastom&nbsp; se vezuje za dužu izloženost starijih jedinki parazitima. Iako je registrovan uticaj abundance jedne vrste na abundancu druge, on ne predstavlja čvrst dokaz za postojanje interakcija između vrsta.</p> / <p>A study of intestinal nematode parasites was conducted on the yellow-necked mouse (<em>Apodemus flavicollis&nbsp;</em> Melchior, 1834) sampled from 18 sites from Serbia south of the Sava and Danube rivers. The aim of the study was to broaden and enrich the data on this category of rodent parasites in this part of Europe. The nematode fauna of the gastrointestinal tract was analysed from quantitative, community, biological, biodiversity and sex ratio aspects. In addition, selected extrinsic and intrinsic factors were tested for their influence on the prevalence and abundance of infection.</p><p>Nine species of&nbsp; intestinal nematodes were noted, 1 to 7 per site. Total sample prevalence was 81.6%. <em>Heligmosomoides polygyrus</em>&nbsp; and&nbsp; <em>Syphacia stroma</em> were the most common species, with the highest prevalence and intensity values. Nematodes were aggregated within their hosts. Infracommunity richness varied from 1 to 5, but infections with one or two species were most common. The most frequent<br />combination&nbsp; of species was <em>H. polygyrus-S. stroma</em>, but in absence of prior research and adequate null models, conclusions of possible interactions and associations between species could not be drawn.</p><p>Monoxenous nematodes were more abundant and prevalent than heteroxenous species, reflecting the differences in their life cycles. Of the monoxenous nematodes, geohelminths<em> sensu stricto</em> had the highest prevalence values, whereas ageohelminths were most abundant, with respect to their life strategies that favour either dispersal or accumulation. Shannon&rsquo;s diversity index for the total sample was 1.44, a high value compared to those from other European based studies. A significant negative correlation between site distance and Sorensen index values was not found, implying that spatial factors have an important role in structuring intestinal nematode communities on a local scale. Sex ratio was generally female-biased, in agreement with data from other authors. In addition, females were larger than males, congruent with previous findings for parasitic nematodes.</p><p>Elevation did not significantly influence intestinal nematode abundance. Host sex influenced the prevalence of two species: for <em>S. stroma</em> prevalence was higher in males, and for <em>Trichuris muris</em> in females. Influence of host sex on abundance was found only for <em>Aonchotheca annulosa</em>, with abundances of this parasite higher in male mice. The results suggest that the effectof host sex on parasite infection levels is a highly complex phenomenon.&nbsp; Infection prevalence and abundance was higher in hosts that carried B chromosomes. Site was a significant factor in explaining variations in nematode abundance. Hostage and presence of other nematode species&nbsp; also exibited effects.&nbsp; An increase in nematode abundance with host age&nbsp; is explained by prolonged exposure to parasites in older host individuals. Although results indicate that the abundance of one species influences the abundance of another, this is not firm evidence of the existence of species interactions.</p>

Le retrait des nématicides rend urgent la mise au point de méthodes alternatives de lutte contre les nématodes parasites des cultures et la création de variétés résistantes est une voie prometteuse. En vignoble, le nématode Xiphinema index a un impact économique élevé en transmettant le Grapevine fanleaf virus (GFLV), principal virus du court-noué de la vigne et première virose de la vigne à l’échelle mondiale. Des porte-greffe résistants vis-à-vis du vecteur X. index basés sur la source de résistance muscadine (Muscadinia rotundifolia) sont en cours de sélection chez la vigne afin de stopper ou retarder l’infection. Sur cette culture, une étude antérieure avait montré que ce nématode parthénogénétique méiotique est aussi capable de se reproduire (rarement) de façon sexuée. Un travail préliminaire de phylogéographie avait permis de révéler les groupes prédominants de diversité et de sélectionner des populations représentatives pour la création de lignées monofemelles. La durabilité de la résistance doit prendre en compte la diversité du nématode. Dans ce contexte, la thèse a d’abord complété et approfondi l’approche phylogéographique en utilisant une très large gamme d’échantillons originaires de l’aire mondiale de répartition de la vigne. Nos résultats permettent de proposer des hypothèses fortes afin de localiser l’aire native du nématode X. index au Moyen-Orient et de retracer ses itinéraires de dissémination à partir de l’Antiquité. IIs illustrent également le lien étroit depuis cette époque entre la dissémination du nématode et celle de la vigne domestiquée par l’homme. La deuxième partie de la thèse a évalué la durabilité de la résistance de matériel porte-greffe issu de la muscadine en serre (nématodes non virulifères sur plants entre 3 et 6 ans) et en vignoble (nématodes virulifères sur plants âgés de 16 ans). En serre, des accessions résistantes F1 ou BC1, préalablement obtenues à partir d’in vitro ou de boutures ligneuses, ont été inoculées avec un mélange de 4 lignées représentatives, chaque lignée étant traçable avec des marqueurs microsatellites. Nous avons montré que les nématodes issus de plants obtenus par multiplication in vitro surmontent progressivement la résistance tandis que le matériel issu de boutures exprime une résistance durable. La multiplication progressive des nématodes sur le matériel résistant uniquement dans le cas où il est issu d’in vitro écarte a priori l’hypothèse d’une adaptation génétique du nématode. Elle apparaît liée à une architecture différente du système racinaire chez les plants issus de ce type de multiplication, multiplication qui pourrait induire des changements physiologiques discrets mais durables dans les tissus racinaires apicaux à partir desquels les nématodes se nourrissent. Le génotypage des nématodes par microsatellites a permis de détecter un taux bas mais croissant d’individus hybrides entre lignées sur les plants âgés de 4 à 6 ans, ce qui confirme l’aptitude de multiplication sexuée précédemment observée en vignoble. Du fait que l’observation d’individus hybrides apparaît indépendante du type de propagation et du statut de résistance de la plante, nos résultats écartent l’hybridation comme mode d’adaptation du nématode qui serait à même d’expliquer le contournement de la résistance chez les plants issus d’in vitro. En vignoble, après 16 années, les nématodes ont été quasi-impossibles à détecter sur l’accession résistante BC1 qui est également peu affectée par les attaques virales, tandis que des effectifs de nématodes plus élevés ont été retrouvés sur une accession témoin sensible dont les plants sont par contre très majoritairement morts ou en dépérissement. Considérés globalement, nos résultats montrent que la stratégie de résistance basée sur la muscadine apparaît durable. Cette stratégie ciblée sur le nématode vecteur contribuera à réduire significativement l’impact du GFLV transmis par X. index. / The ban of most nematicides renders urgent control alternatives against plant-parasitic nematodes and breeding for resistant plant varieties is promising. In vineyards, the nematode Xiphinema index has a high economical impact by transmitting Grapevine fanleaf virus (GFLV), the main virus of ‘Court-noué’ disease and the first grapevine viral disease worldwide. Resistant rootstocks are being selected in grapevine, using Muscadinia rotundifolia (muscadine) as a resistance source to the vector, in order to arrest or delay GFLV transmission. In this crop, a previous study had shown that this meiotic parthenogenetic nematode is able to reproduce sexually (rarely) in the field. A preliminary phylogenetic work had allowed to reveal the predominant diversity groups and to select representative populations for the creation of single-female lines. Resistance durability is a real challenge that must consider the key information of the nematode diversity. In this context, the PhD project first completed and deepened our phylogeographical approach using an extended geographic coverage of the worldwide nematode distribution. Our results allow proposing strong hypotheses to locate the native area of X. index in the Middle-East and trace its dissemination routes from the Antiquity. They also highlight the close link since this epoch between dissemination of the nematode and domesticated grapevine by man. The second part of the PhD project has then evaluated the durability of muscadine-derived rootstock material in greenhouse (non viruliferous nematodes on plants aged 3 to 6 years) and field (viruliferous nematodes on plants aged 16 years) conditions. In the greenhouse, F1 and BC1 resistant accessions, previously obtained from both in vitro and hardwood-cutting propagation, were inoculated with 4 mixed representative X. index lines, traceable each with microsatellite markers. We showed that nematodes from plants obtained from in vitro progressively overcame the resistance while the material obtained from cuttings displayed a durable resistance. Nematode progressive multiplication in resistant accessions obtained only from in vitro removes a priori the hypothesis of a nematode genetic adaptation and appears linked to a different architecture of the root system in this propagation type. This type may have induced discrete but durable physiological changes in apical root tissues from where nematodes feed. Nematode microsatellite genotyping allowed detecting a low but increasing rate of hybrid individuals from 4 to 6 years, which confirms data from the vineyard. As the hybrid occurrence appears independent from the propagation type and the resistance status of the plant, our data discard hybridization as the mode of adaptation of the nematode underlying resistance breakdown from in vitro plants. In field conditions, after 16 years, nematodes were almost undetectable on the resistant BC1 accession, also almost unaffected by the viral attacks, while higher numbers were detected on a susceptible control accession, whose plants were by contrast in high majority dead or poorly vigorous. Taken all together, our results show that the muscadine-derived resistance strategy appears durable. This strategy focused on vector control will significantly contribute to reduce the impact of GFLV transmitted by X. index.
