Abstract

The objective was to identify Meloidogyne species associated with vegetables from the Tepeaca Valley, Puebla, using the isozyme phenotypes esterase (EST) and malate dehydrogenase (MDH), together with the morphological technique descriptive of the perineal pattern of females. During 2018-2019, soil and roots with vegetable galls were sampled from fields planted with carrots, cilantro, beets and pumpkin. From each of the roots of these cultures, 40 females were obtained from which proteins were extracted by mechanical disintegration, then separated by electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gels. Subsequently, the isoenzymes were revealed to know the relative mobility (Rm); On the other hand, cuts were made with the cuticle of the females to analyze the morphology of the perineal patterns to corroborate the joint identification. The results showed that in the sampled cultures the isoenzymatic phenotypes of EST were found, A1, A2a, A3, VSF-S1, H1, I1, J2a and M2, while for MDH the phenotypes were obtained: N1, N1a, N1e and N2a; associated with the species: M. incógnita, M. arenaria, M. javanica, M. hapla, M. chitwoodi, and M. enterolobii. The phenotypes G1, G1-VF1 for EST and N1d for MDH were also found, which could not be associated with any known species. The perineal patterns showed agreement with the results obtained by the isoenzymatic phenotypes. The discovery of M. javanica, M. chitwoodi and M. enterolobii in the study area is relevant, since they constitute new records, and therefore the necessary measures must be taken to prevent their dispersion.
