Dendrogram generated from the alignment of amplified and sequenced vap1 gene fragments (ca. 600 bp) of various cyst nematode species and populations (MUSCLE alignment and Neighbor-Joining tree with 1,000 bootstraps done with MEGA6). The triangles represent the vap1 sequences gained from the populations of each species. Note that there exist two triangles for H. schachtii within which the sequences represent higher variability of vap1 genes than for Globodera spp.

GC-clamped PCR products amplified from cloned fragments of vap1 genes obtained from populations of Heterodera schachtii originating from Vechelde, Bodenstedt, Titz-Kalrath, Asperden, and Münster. (A) Size separation in 1.5% agarose gel electrophoresis; L: 1 kb ladder. (B) Separation in DGGE; M: marker composed of all 14 fragments.

GC-clamped PCR products amplified from the genomic DNA of three single cysts of Heterodera avenae. (A) 1.5% agarose gel electrophoresis; L: 1 kb ladder. (B) DGGE profiles of vap1 gene fragments of Heterodera avenae from three single cysts compared to the distinct gene fragments of Heterodera schachtii in the marker (L).

Sequence logos of nucleotide sequences (A) and translated protein (B) of 14 vap1 gene variants of Heterodera schachtii in the region used for PCR-DGGE. The exon region included in the gene fragment is underlined. Sequence logos were generated by CLC Main Workbench version (7.8.1).

Fingerprints of single second stage juveniles from six cysts of Heterodera schachtii from the field population at Hottorf, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The fingerprints were derived by PCR amplification of vap1 variants and electrophoretic separation by DGGE. The profiles were significantly different among cysts except for cyst2-cyst4, cyst2-cyst5, cyst3-cyst4, cyst4-cyst6 (permutation test on Pearson correlations, p < 0.04, d = 18). M: marker of cloned vap1 variants.

Fingerprints of single cysts from six field populations of Heterodera schachtii analyzed by PCR amplification of vap1 variants and electrophoretic separation in DGGE. M: marker of cloned vap1 variants.

Fingerprints from three populations of Heterodera schachtii derived by PCR amplification of vap1 variants from DNA of 20 pooled cysts per replicate sample, and electrophoretic separation by DGGE. The profiles were significantly different among all populations (permutation test on Pearson correlations, P < 0.001, d = 33). M: marker of cloned vap1 variants.

Box-Whisker Plots of the Shannon indices calculated for gene diversity of vap1 based on DGGE profiles of three field populations of Heterodera schachtii. Different letters indicate significant differences in diversity among populations (Tukey’s test, P < 0.05, n = 8).
