FINE STRUCTURE OF THE BODY WALL AND VULVA AREA OF PRATYLENCHUS PENETRANS BY M. KISIEL 1), S. HIMMELHOCH 2) and B. M. ZUCKERMAN 1) The fine structure of the cuticle, hypodermis, somatic muscles and the vu'va muscles of Pratylenchus penetrans are described. The number of lateral incisures varied in different parts of the body. The location of the excretory pore varied greatly between descendants from one population. Descriptions are given of a membrane-bounded, intracellular inclusion and of structures believed to be vaginal glands. Pratylenchu,r penetrans is the most important and widespread plant parasitic nematode in the Northeastern United States. Hirumi et al. (1967) described the fine structure of the stylet and amphidial components of this nematode. This paper presents observations on the ultrastructure of the body wall and the vulva area of P. penetrans. METHODS The P. penetrans examined were cultured monoxenically on alfalfa callus by the method of Krusberg (1961). This culture (supplied by W. F. Mai, Cornell University) originated from a population from a cherry orchard in Western New York State. Only young mature nematodes were studied, the approximate age being judged on the basis of the presence of eggs within the uterus. The nematodes were
