Journal ArticleDOI

Phylum-Wide Analysis of SSU rDNA Reveals Deep Phylogenetic Relationships among Nematodes and Accelerated Evolution toward Crown Clades

TL;DR: The exclusive common presence of fungivorous and plant parasitic nematodes supports a long-standing hypothesis that states that plant parasitic Nematodes arose from fungivory ancestors.
Journal ArticleDOI

A phylogenetic tree of nematodes based on about 1200 full-length small subunit ribosomal DNA sequences.

TL;DR: The extensiveness of convergent evolution is one of the most striking phenomena observed in the phylogenetic tree presented here – it is hard to find a morphological, ecological or biological characteristic that has not arisen at least twice during nematode evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI

Endogenous cellulases in animals: Isolation of β-1,4-endoglucanase genes from two species of plant-parasitic cyst nematodes

TL;DR: The synthesis of EGases in the esophageal glands of the cyst nematodes Globodera rostochiensis and Heterodera glycines is reported on and it is revealed that the four catalytic domains belong to family 5 of the glycosyl hydrolases.
