Analysis of Pathogenic Effects of Plant Endogenous Microorganisms

Research on the pathogenesis of nematodes has been a hot topic in nematode research. The last decade or so has been rich in research in this area, with researchers exploring it from different angles and making many advances. At the same time, many studies have shown that plant endogenous microorganisms have an important influence on the nematode's vital activity and that they can indirectly enhance or diminish the nematode's pathogenicity. Nematode infestation affects the community changes of endogenous microorganisms in trees, the significant differences in the microbial communities of different resistant trees, etc.

Lifeasible is a leading provider of comprehensive, high-quality services for analyzing pathogenic effects of plant endogenous microorganisms. We hope to partner with you to explore new frontiers in plant science and accelerate your discovery.

Analysis of Endogenous Microorganisms Affecting Nematode Populations

• In the late stages of nematode disease, after the plant has completely died, the nematodes change from the stage from parasitic to saprophytic, feeding on plant-inhabiting fungi to maintain nematode populations and reproduce, offering the possibility of re-infestation.
• Lifeasible offers analyses of plant endogenous microorganisms such as Botrytis cinerea, Ceratocystis sp., Diplodia sp., Pestalotia sp., Macrophoma sp., Fusarium sp., Ophiostoma sp., Sporothrix sp., Leptographium sp., Trichoderma sp., etc., which can contribute to the growth of nematode populations under in vitro culture conditions.
• We also offer Trichaptum abietinum, Arthrobotrys sp., Gloeophyllum striatum, Cryptoporus volvatus, Ophiostoma ips and Ophiostoma minus, Crytosporiopsis sp., Leptographium sp., Pestalotia sp., Macrophoma sp. and others that promote nematode populations in vitro.
• In addition, while providing food nourishment, plant endogenous microorganisms also produce certain chemicals that promote the reproduction of nematodes and influence the number of nematodes carried by vector insects. We offer analysis of these hormone-like chemicals, such as 3-octanol and 1-octen-3-ol, from grey grapevine spores.

Correlation of Endogenous Microorganisms Diversity with Plant Resistance

• Nematode infestation affects the diversity of plant endogenous microorganisms, and differences in endogenous microorganisms affect their resistance to nematodes. The nematode invasion induces changes in the abundance and dominant strains of endogenous microorganisms in plants.
• We provide sequencing techniques such as 16S rDNA amplicons, transcriptomes, and macro genomes to study the endogenous microorganisms of susceptible and resistant plants, thus exploring the correlation between the diversity and abundance of plant endogenous microorganisms and the process of nematode disease development.
