Several species of the sheat nematodes, Hemicycliophora spp., have been known to cause significant damage to agricultural crops, including Hemicycliophora arenaria, H. conida, H. parvana, H. poranga, H. similis, and H. typica.

<sec id="j_helm-2021-0033_s_001"><div>Introduction</div>
<p>Plant-parasitic nematodes belonging to the genus <italic>Hemicycliophora</italic> are commonly known as sheat nematodes that can parasitize various host plants including agricultural crops, fruit and nut trees, and ornamental plants. Strikingly, <italic>Hemicycliophora</italic> species have been reported from all continents and can induce serious symptoms such as root galls, stubby root, stunted growth, yellowing, and even death of host plants (<a ref-type="bibr" href="#j_helm-2021-0033_ref_006">Chitambar &amp; Subbotin, 2014</a>). Among <italic>Hemicycliophora</italic> spp., <italic>H. poranga</italic> (<a ref-type="bibr" href="#j_helm-2021-0033_ref_008">Monteiro &amp; Lordello, 1978</a>) was known as an important pest to agricultural crops and can cause significant damages to many crops such as celery in Argentina (<a ref-type="bibr" href="#j_helm-2021-0033_ref_007">Emilse <italic>et al</italic>., 2011</a>); <italic>Musa</italic> sp., cabbage, cowpea, bean, okra, lettuce, and tomato in the USA (<a ref-type="bibr" href="#j_helm-2021-0033_ref_004">Chitambar, 1993</a>); and other 21 crops from different localities listed by <a ref-type="bibr" href="#j_helm-2021-0033_ref_006">Chitambar and Subbotin (2014)</a>.</p>
<p>Currently, 135 valid species of the genus <italic>Hemicycliophora</italic> have been described over the world (<a ref-type="bibr" href="#j_helm-2021-0033_ref_003">Azimi <italic>et al</italic>., 2020</a>; Chitambar &amp; Subbotin, 2014; <a ref-type="bibr" href="#j_helm-2021-0033_ref_011">Nguyen <italic>et al</italic>., 2021</a>). In Vietnam, <italic>Hemicycliophora</italic> spp. have been reported on 12 host plants that were black pepper, banana, cucurbits, grapefruit, orange, rice, tobacco, yardlong bean, bamboo, Malabar cardamom (<a ref-type="bibr" href="#j_helm-2021-0033_ref_009">Nguyen, 1983</a>; <a ref-type="bibr" href="#j_helm-2021-0033_ref_012">Nguyen &amp; Nguyen, 2001</a>; <a ref-type="bibr" href="#j_helm-2021-0033_ref_011">Nguyen <italic>et al</italic>., 2021</a>). However, only two endemic <italic>Hemicycliophora</italic> species have been recognized at species level including <italic>Hemicycliophora vietnamensis</italic> Nguyen and <a ref-type="bibr" href="#j_helm-2021-0033_ref_012">Nguyen (2001)</a> and <italic>H. cardamomi</italic> <a ref-type="bibr" href="#j_helm-2021-0033_ref_011">Nguyen <italic>et al</italic>. (2021)</a>, therefore, a higher number of <italic>Hemicycliophora</italic> species is expected in the country. Herein, the first report of <italic>H. poranga</italic> associated with sugar beet (<italic>Beta vulgaris</italic> L.) in Vietnam is provided with the support of morphological and molecular characterizations.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="j_helm-2021-0033_s_002"><div>Material and Methods</div>
<p>Soil samples were collected from the rhizosphere of sugar beet in Lam Dong, Vietnam (GPS coordinates N: 11°56′21′′, E: 108°26′6.5′′) in the winter season. The observation of plant symptoms was recorded and four samples around a host plant were collected at each sampling site (6 sites), after removing the detritus layer to create a bulk sample (collection of 24 soil samples using a core (5 × 25 cm) resulted in 6 bulk samples). Nematodes were extracted from soil samples using the modified Baerman tray method (<a ref-type="bibr" href="#j_helm-2021-0033_ref_015">Whitehead &amp; Hemming, 1965</a>). Permanent slides were made from fixed nematodes following <a ref-type="bibr" href="#j_helm-2021-0033_ref_014">Seinhorst (1959)</a>. Subsequently, measurements and pictures were taken using Carl Zeiss Axio Lab.A1 light microscope equipped with an Axiocam ERc5s digital camera.</p>
<p>For molecular analysis, DNA was extracted from a living nematode by cutting and transferring it to a PCR tube with 20 μl of WLB (50 mM KCl;10 mM Tris pH 8.3; 2.5 mM MgCl2; 0.45 % NP-40 (Tergitol Sigma); 0.45 % Tween-20). In the next steps, the sample was incubated at −20°C for at least 10 min, followed by adding 1 μl proteinase K (1.2 mg ml−1). Finally, sample was incubated in a PCR machine for 1 h at 65°C and 10 min at 95°C and finished by centrifugation for 1 min at 20 800 g.</p>
<p>D2-D3 expansion segment of 28S rRNA region was amplified using primers D2A (5’-ACAAGTACCGTGGGGAAA GTTG-3’) and D3B (5’-TCGGAAGGAACCAGCTAC TA-3’) (<a ref-type="bibr" href="#j_helm-2021-0033_ref_013">Nunn, 1992</a>) with the following thermal profile: one cycle of 94°C for 4 min, followed by five cycles of 94°C for 30s, 56°C for 30s, 72°C for 2 min, and 45 cycles of 94°C for 30s, 54°C for 30s, 72°C for 1 min and finished at 10°C for 10 min (<a ref-type="bibr" href="#j_helm-2021-0033_ref_011">Nguyen <italic>et al</italic>., 2021</a>). Successful PCR reactions were purified using the Wizard SV Gel and PCR Clean-Up System (Promega, Madison, Wisconsin, USA) and sequenced commercially by Macrogen (Korea). The obtained forward and reverse sequences were assembled using Geneious R11 (<ext-link xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.geneious.com">www.geneious.com</ext-link>). Blast search was used to look for closely related sequences from GenBank (<a ref-type="bibr" href="#j_helm-2021-0033_ref_002">Altschul <italic>et al</italic>., 1997</a>). MUSCLE in Geneious R11 was used to make multiple alignments for all sequences. The Bayesian phylogenetic analysis was carried out using MrBayes 3.2.6 add-in in Geneious R11 following <a ref-type="bibr" href="#j_helm-2021-0033_ref_010">Nguyen <italic>et al</italic>. (2019)</a>. GTR+G+I model was selected following <a ref-type="bibr" href="#j_helm-2021-0033_ref_001">Abadi <italic>et al</italic>. (2019)</a>.</p>

<sec id="j_helm-2021-0033_s_004_s_005"><div>Remarks and discussion</div>
<p>Although morphology of <italic>H. poranga</italic> in this study is in agreement with the type population, small variations in measurements were seen such as slightly higher L value (1152 (1092 – 1205) <italic>vs</italic> 1040 (960 – 1130)), smaller Rvan value (20 (17 – 21) <italic>vs</italic> 23 (20 – 26)), larger Ran value (48 (44 – 52) <italic>vs</italic> 33 (27 – 37)), larger VL/VB value (5.4 (4.8 – 5.8) <italic>vs</italic> 4.5 (3.9 – 4.9)). However, these variations were also present in other populations of <italic>H. poranga</italic> (<a ref-type="table" href="#j_helm-2021-0033_tab_001">Table 1</a>).</p>
<p>Correct identification of <italic>Hemicycliophora</italic> spp. is of crucial importance since several species in this group have been reported to cause significant damage to agricultural crops. Our study provides the first report of <italic>Hemicycliophora poranga</italic>, a known harmful species on many hosts, on sugar beet in Vietnam based on morphological and molecular characterizations. This study also reports sugar beet as a new host of <italic>H. poranga</italic>. Since the nematodes have appeared with high density (average of 270 individuals/100 ml soil in positive samples) along with the stunting symptom in patchiness pattern of host plant, it is suggested that <italic>H. poranga</italic> could be a potential pest of sugar beet and management measures should be applied to control this pest.</p>
