Quarantine nematode species and pathotypes potentially dangerous for domestic potato production: populations diversity and the genetics of potato resistance by N. V. Mironenko, T. A. Gavrilenko, A. V. Khiutti, O. S. Afanasenko

“…It was shown that due to the peculiarities of the life cycle of nematodes and lability of their genomes, the genetic variability of these organisms is very high, which creates a threat of forming new pathogenic genotypes of the parasites. The information about the intra- and interpopulation variability of nematodes is important for studying the ways of introduction and distribution of separate species, as well as for searching for the correlations of molecular markers with the pathotype. …”
