Abstract
Abstract The reniform nematode (Rotylenchulus reniformis Linford and Oliveira) is a semi-endoparasitic nematode that is a pathogen of numerous major crops such as cotton and soybean. Here, the authors present transcriptome assemblies of the egg, second-stage juvenile (J2), J3, vermiform adult, and sedentary female life stages of this important plant pathogen.
Highlights
R. reniformis J2 become immobile soon after hatching (Robinson et al, 1997)
Syncytia formation is induced by cyst nematode J2 and the nutrients provided by this feeding site allow the cyst nematode to develop through the J3 and J4 life stages until adulthood
Sequences were trimmed and filtered for adapters and low-quality base calls with Trimmomatic (v0.32; Bolger et al, 2014), and trimmed reads for each life stage were aligned to the reniform nematode reference genome (RREN1.0, GCA_001026735.1) with the STAR aligner (v2.6.0c; Dobin et al, 2013), and subsequently assembled with Trinity (v2.6.5; Grabherr et al, 2011)
Summary
R. reniformis J2 become immobile soon after hatching (Robinson et al, 1997). Syncytia formation is induced by cyst nematode J2 and the nutrients provided by this feeding site allow the cyst nematode to develop through the J3 and J4 life stages until adulthood. While the cyst nematodes initiate host root infection immediately upon egg hatching as second-stage juveniles (J2), 6Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Urbana, IL, USA. R. reniformis J2 become immobile soon after hatching (Robinson et al, 1997). Syncytia formation is induced by cyst nematode J2 and the nutrients provided by this feeding site allow the cyst nematode to develop through the J3 and J4 life stages until adulthood.
