Abstract
Plant-parasitic nematodes are important and
cosmopolitan pathogens of crops. Here, we describe the
generation and analysis of 1928 expressed sequence tags
(ESTs) of a splice-leader 1 (SL1) library from mixed life
stages of the root-lesion nematode Pratylenchus pene-
trans. The ESTs were grouped into 420 clusters and
classified by function using the Gene Ontology (GO)
hierarchy and the Kyoto KEGG database. Approxi-
mately 80% of all translated clusters show homology to
Caenorhabditis elegans proteins, and 37% of the C. ele-
gans gene homologs had confirmed phenotypes as as-
sessed by RNA interference tests. Use of an SL1-PCR
approach, while ensuring the cloning of the 5¢ ends of mRNAs, has demonstrated bias toward short tran-
scripts. Putative nematode-specific and Pratylenchus -
specific genes were identified, and their implications for
nematode control strategies are discussed.
