ABNORMALITIES IN SECOND-STAGE LARVAE OF HETERODERA TRIFOLII GOFFART, 1932 (NEMATODA:HETERODERIDAE)
Keyword(s):
Second-generation females of a cyst-forming nematode, Heterodera trifolii Goffart, 1932, from a mixed population of this species and the sugar-beet nematode, H. schachtii Schmidt, 1871, produced small, normal, giant, and abnormal second-stage larvae. The giant larvae averaged 670 μ in length, while the small larvae had an average body length of 404 μ. Abnormalities in the larvae occurred mostly in the tail development. It is suggested that the sperm of H. schachtii may have affected the normal chromosome complement of the H. trifolii oöcytes during oögenesis and was thereby responsible for the production of the different types of larvae recorded.
