The Adult Female Cuticle and Egg Sac of the Genus Meloidogyne Goeldi, 1887

The Adult Female Cuticle and Egg Sac of the Genus Meloidogyne Goeldi, 1887 THE ADULT FEMALE CUTICLE AND EGG SAC OF THE GENUS MELOIDOGYNE GOELDI, 1887 . BY ALAN F. BIRD Commonwealth Research Station, Merbein, Victoria, Australia The adult female cuticle or cyst wall of the genus Heterodera Schmidt, 1871 has been studied by several workers in recent years, both with regard to structure (FRANKLIN 1939, WIESER 1953 and FERRIS & SIEGEL 1957) and to chemical composition (ELLENBY 1946 and CHITWOOD I95I). However, no work has been done on the female cuticle of the closely related genus JJ;J eloidogyne Goeldi, 1887 and very little on the egg sac of this animal. CHITWOOD (1950) stated that the change of colour in the egg sac from colourless to orange during development possibly indicated tanning. He found that the egg sac was incompletely digested by pepsin and trypsin and gave positive xanthoproteic and ninhydrin reactions. He also found that when the exterior of the egg sac became orange in colour the contained eggs were more resistant to desiccation. In this paper, both the chemical composition and structure of the adult female cuticle and egg sac of the genus Meloidogyne have been studied. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cuticle and egg sac material were obtained from specimens http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Nematologica Brill
