Root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) have been reported parasitize various species of weeds, including Amaranthus spp., which are widely distributed in Brazil (Kokalis-Burelle and Rosskopf 2012). During the summer of 2015, specimens of slender amaranth (Amaranthus viridis L.) with multiple root galls were detected in a soybean production field (27°53′S, 53°04′W) from Novo Barreiro, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Root and soil samples were processed. The Meloidogyne population density was 702 eggs and second-stage juveniles (J2) per gram of fresh root and 345 J2 per 100 cm3 of soil. The Meloidogyne J2 morphometric characters included: body length = 473.21 ± 18.21 µm; body width = 15.13 ± 0.80 µm; a = 31.20 ± 2.3; c = 8.45 ± 0.77; DGO from stylet base = 3.01 ± 0.36 µm; stylet = 13.01 ± 1.12 µm; tail length = 55.10 ± 5.00 µm; hyaline tail terminus = 9.50 ± 0.81 µm; matching the description of M. arenaria (Cliff and Hirschmann 1985). Female nematodes (n = 20) were dissected from the respective root samples and subjected to esterase isoenzyme electrophoresis (Carneiro and Almeida 2001), morphological analysis of perineal patterns, and amplification of the mitochondrial DNA region between COII and 16S using the primers C2F3/1108. Electrophoresis revealed the polymorphic esterase bands of the phenotype A2 (Rm = 1.25, 1.35) typical of M. arenaria (Carneiro et al. 2008). Perineal patterns exhibited a low dorsal arch, with lateral field marked by forked and broken striae similar to those described in M. arenaria. The PCR amplified product (accession no. KX280643) was sequenced and aligned with sequences obtained from GenBank. BLAST analysis resulted in a 100% similarity to the sequences of M. arenaria previously isolated from Brazil (AY635610), China (JQ446377), Costa Rica (KF993637), and South Africa (KC287201 and KC287200). Further verification came from the species-specific SCAR primer set Far/Rar, which produced a 420-bp fragment identical (same size) to the fragment previously reported for M. arenaria (Zijlstra et al. 2000). To confirm nematode pathogenicity, plantlets of A. viridis were maintained in six pots containing sterilized soil and the pots were inoculated with 5,000 eggs plus J2s of the original population of M. arenaria. Noninoculated plants were used as controls (six replicates). After 70 days, inoculated plants showed root galling, similar to the original plants encountered in the field and the mean nematode reproduction factor (final population/initial population) was 32.7. The noninoculated plants did not present galls in the roots. This positive identification indicates that A. viridis serves as an important host for M. arenaria, making control of this weed essential for managing the nematode. To our knowledge, this is the first formal record of M. arenaria parasitizing A. viridis in Brazil.References:Carneiro, R. M. D. G., et al. 2008.
