Figure 1:

(A) Amplified products were obtained using M. incognita-specific (MIF/MIR) and M. javanica-specific (Fjav/Rjav) primers. Only the MIF/MIR primers produced a 999-bp band, indicating that the root-knot nematode infecting the Aeonium was M. incognita, while no amplification was observed with the Fjav/Rjav primers. Two mitochondrial DNA regions, covering the intergenic spacer and part of the adjacent large subunit ribosomal RNA gene (lrDNA), were amplified using the TRNAH/MHR106 (approximately 550-bp) and MORF/MTHIS (approximately 750 bp) primer sets; (B) The intergenic spacer, tRNAHis, and the large subunit ribosomal RNA gene (rRNA) were amplified using the C2F3/1108 primers, yielding an approximately 1550-bp product.

(A) Tree houseleek (Aeonium arboreum) plant received from Los Angeles, California for diagnosis; (B) Heavy galling on the plant roots, indicating root-knot nematode (RKN) infection; (C) Tomato plants used to test for RKN infection; (D) and (F) Visible galls on the infected tomato roots, both in the pot and after washing; (E) Acid fuchsin staining of the tomato roots, showing the female nematodes inside the roots, along with the morphology of adult and early female nematodes; (G) Cuttings of the Aeonium plants inoculated with nematodes; (H and I) Acid fuchsin staining of the Aeonium arboreum cuttings, showing characteristic symptoms of nematode infection.
