Since then, <em>P. thornei<\/em> has been found to be associated with a variety of plants in different geographic locations and is a serious parasite of wheat in Utah, Australia, Yugoslavia, India, Italy, and Mexico (Fortuner, 1977).\u00a0 The host status of associated plants is not always known. <em>Pratylenchus thornei<\/em> is one of the most widely distributed species of <em>Pratylenchus<\/em> and has been reported from every continent except Antarctica (Castillo &amp; Vovlas, 2007).\u00a0 In California, <em>P. thornei<\/em> is widely distributed statewide, even though it is known to prefer temperate soils (CABI, 2016).<\/p>\n<p><em>Pratylenchus thornei, <\/em>is an obligate migratory endoparasite that first feeds externally then enters plant roots, feeds, reproduces and moves freely within the tissue while spending its entire life cycle there.\u00a0 The species can also be found in soil around roots.\u00a0 Within the roots, feeding is confined to the root cortex.\u00a0 Like other <em>Pratylenchus<\/em> species, <em>P. thornei<\/em> has six life stages: egg, four juvenile stages and adults.\u00a0 Reproduction is by parthenogenesis (without fertilization). First stage juveniles develop within the egg, followed by a first molt to the second stage juvenile that hatches from the egg.\u00a0 Each stage develops into the next <em>via<\/em> a molt of its cuticle (outer body covering).\u00a0 All juvenile and adult stages are worm-shaped (vermiform). \u00a0All post-hatch stages are motile and can infect plants.\u00a0 The time to complete a life cycle is dependent on temperature and moisture.\u00a0 The life cycle of <em>P. thornei<\/em> was completed in about 25-35 days on carrot discs at 20-25\u00b0C (Castillo <em>et al<\/em>., 1995) and about 25-29\u00b0C on corn at 30\u00b0C (Siyanand <em>et al<\/em>., 1982).\u00a0 <em>Pratylenchus thornei<\/em> survives the winter in infected roots or soil as eggs, juveniles or adults.\u00a0 Under experimental conditions, survival of <em>P. thornei<\/em> in 200 g soil samples was reduced by drying to 5% moisture content and at 40\u00b0C was killed in less than 2 weeks, perhaps due to loss of moisture. \u00a0\u00a0The nematodes become inactive at freezing to &#8211; 5\u00b0C Fortuner, 1977).\u00a0 During spring, when plant growth is active, eggs hatch, nematodes are attracted to the plant roots and begin to feed and continue their life cycle within roots or in rhizosphere soil.\u00a0 Within the root, the nematode feeds on cortical tissue causing necrosis of cortical cells, cell breakdown, and formation of cavities. Necrosis is apparent as lesions which expand as the nematodes move lengthwise within the infected roots.\u00a0 Some nematodes may leave the root, enter soil and re-enter the root at a different site causing a new infection.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong><em>Hosts<\/em><\/strong>: <em>Pratylenchus thornei <\/em>is an important root parasite primarily of wheat and other cereals such as, barley and maize.\u00a0 The nematode species has been associated with different plants from several countries.\u00a0 The host status of associated plants is not always known.\u00a0 Nevertheless, hosts\/associated plants include, cereals, wheat, durum wheat, barley, chickpea, corn, oats, sorghum,\u00a0 tobacco, carrot, celery, globe artichoke, asparagus, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, olive, onion, cotton, potato, strawberry, tomato, tea, ginger, strawberry clover, berseem clover, white clover, soybean, leguminous plants, sweet pea, lentil, alfalfa, pea, common bean, faba bean, lima bean, cowpea, papaya, red currant, apple, apricot, pear, peach, plum, cherry, walnut, almond, grapevine, blackberry, citrus, fig, sugarcane, groundnut, canola, watermelon, beetroot, various grasses, bent grass, safed musli (<em>Chlorophytum borivillianum<\/em> \u2013 medicinal plant), \u00a0rose, candytuft, chrysanthemum, iris, lily, pine, oak, peppermint, spearmint (CABI, 2016; Castillo &amp; Vovlas, 2007; Siddiqui et al., 1973; Smiley <em>et al.,<\/em> 2014).<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em><strong>Symptoms<\/strong>: <\/em>In general, root lesion infection results in plant exhibiting symptoms of chlorosis, wilting, and stunting.\u00a0 Infected roots show initial symptoms of small, water-soaked lesions that soon turn brown to black.\u00a0 Lesions are formed along the root axis and may coalesce laterally to girdle the roots which are killed.\u00a0 Affected root tissue may slough off leaving a severely reduced root system. Secondary infection by fungi and bacteria may further destroy the root system by causing sloughing off of the root tissues and rot.\u00a0 Plant yield is reduced and in severe infections plants may be killed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em><strong>Damage Potential<\/strong>: \u00a0Pratylenchus thornei<\/em> is capable to reducing root growth and function thereby, causing reduction in plant growth and yield of its associated host plants.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong><em>Spread<\/em><\/strong>: \u00a0On its own, <em>Pratylenchus<\/em> species move can move 1-2 m from an infected root.\u00a0 The main mode of long and short distance spread is artificial.
