obligate plant-parasites Meloidogyne species are able to parasitize virtually all species of higher plants in the world Moreover, Meloidogyne species are considered to be an important limiting factor in vegetable protection So, Root knot nemaotde Meloidogyne is a serious threat to agriculture worldwide Till 2006, 111 species had been decribed, in which 18 species were found on coffee Till 2000, five species of the genus Meloidogyne were recorded on coffee including M incognita, M javanica, M exigua, M coffeicola and M paranaensis Among five species above, M incognita causes damage on almost all the coffee growing areas as well as all other crops Many studies on coffee and pepper in Vietnam indicated that M incognita is the most important species causing damages Trinh et al (2013) also announced the presence of two species of M exigua and M coffeicola on coffee, and indicated the presence of harmful Meloidogyne species in Tay Nguyen Highlands is pretty serious and needs to be investigated in more detail And, there are many species of Meloidogyne have not been discovered and published Morphological analysis of perineal patterns from adult Meloidogyne females is often used as a rapid diagnostic tool However, there are some major limitations with this approach, including overlapping of morphological characters, which can lead to misidentification Some coffee-parasitising nematodes, such as M izalcoensis, M paranaensis, and M incognita, have the overlapping of characters related to female perineal patterns Additional diagnostic power can be used such as molercular characterisation of some genes including 18S, ITS, and 28S of rDNA and COI, COII of mtDNA Prevention of these nematodes species in agricultural crops mostly based on chemical pesticides that is affecting the environment as well as causing the loss of beneficial organisms Moreover, using chemicals is expensive and also depends on the activity of chemicals in the soil and depends on country-specific rules Therefore, searching for the solutions to effectively control nematodes will have a great significance in the production, contributing to limit the use of chemical drugs, safeguarding the environment One of the effective methods of controling this nematode group is the method based on the biological control of antagonistic microorganisms that can destroy and limit the development of nematodes Due to the diversity of plants and topography in Tay Nguyen, as well as the variety of root-knot nematodes and their potential damages, we implemented the project:: "Study on diversity of root –knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) in Tay Nguyen Highlands " Objectives of the thesis  Identifying the Meloidogyne species causing damage on main crops in Tay Nguyen Highlands  Analyze the diversity of Meloidogyne species based on morphology and molecular classification  Assessing the preventative ability of antagonistic microorganisms to Meloidogyne incognita in laboratory condition Contents of the thesis  Study on distribution, frequency and density of root-knot nematodes on some important crops: coffee, pepper, vegetables and intercropping crops in Tay Nguyen  Study on the morphology and diversity of root-knot nematode Meloidogyne in Tay Nguyen  Study on the genetic diversity of root-knot nematode Meloidogyne in Tay Nguyen based on analyses of rDNA and mrDNA genes  Evaluate the prevention of Meloidogyne incognita by using some antagonistic microorganisms such as Paecilomyces javanicus, Lysobacter antibioticus and 4-HPAA antibiotics Scientific

references In addition, the thesis has a list of publications and appendices CHAPTER LITERATURE REVIEW 1.1 Root-knot nematodes in the world 1.1.1 Research history: Berkeley (1855) was the first scientist to publish the emergence of root-knot nematodes In 1949, Chitwood split the genus Meloidogyne Göldi, 1887 from the genus Heterodera based on the standard species M exigua (Goldi, 1887) The classification of the genus Meloidogyne is currently following the system of Karsen et al (2013) 1.1.2 Biological characteristics, life cycle of root-knot nematode Meloidogyne: the life cycle of root-knot nematode Meloidogyne consists of stages of development including: eggs; second stage juveniles (J2) (mobile phase); juveniles stage 3, (J3, J4) and adult stage with females and males Root-knot nematodes Meloidogyne spp reproduce by different ways: compulsory sexual-mating reproduction (amphimixis) and the majority of them are bisexual reproduction (parthenogensis) without males 1.1.3 Damages on some crops: Root-knot nematode Meloidogyne has the ability to parasitize almost all crops, up to 5500 different plants, including from industrial and agricultural crops to weeds The annual economic losses are estimated to be hundreds of billions of dollars 1.1.4 Identification of root-knot nematodes 1.1.4.1 Morphological analysis: Chitwood (1949) and Jebson (1983) used the characteristics of stylet, DGO, periniel pattern, head region in males, distance from base of stylet to dorsal gland orifice (DGO) to describe the species Recent studies have used detailed morphological and morphometric characteristics 1.1.4.2 Molecular-based methods: the regions of rDNA and mtDNA are frequently used in identifying root-knot nematodes 1.2 Root-knot nematodes in Vietnam 1.2.1 General root-knot nematodes in Vietnam: published studies have mentioned many different aspects that were mainly species composition, host range, population dynamic and control measures According to Nguyen and Nguyen (2000), species of root-knot nematodes belonging to the genus Meloidogyne were found in Vietnam So far, all the studies were mainly focused on some control methods 1.2.2 Root-knot nematode sitution in Tay Nguyen 1.2.2.1 Overview of Tay Nguyen: Tay Nguyen or Western Highlands in Vietnam is a plateau region consisting of provinces, including Kon Tum, Gia Lai, Dak Lak, Dak Nong and Lam Dong from the north to the south Located in the savanna tropical region The climate in Tay Nguyen is divided into two seasons: the rainy season from May to the end of October and the dry season from November to April of the next year Tay Nguyen has million hectares of fertile basalt soil, which accounts for 60% of the basalt soil area in Vietnam Nutrient-rich basalt soil, deep weathering layer are convenient conditions for the formation of large-scale specialized cultivation areas of industrial crops such as coffee, cocoa, and pepper This is the region with the largest area of industrial crops in Vietnam with key export crops such as coffee and pepper 1.2.2.2 Rooted nematode in Tay Nguyen Meloidogyne species are considered to be a serious pest on coffee and pepper in Tay Nguyen causing yellow leaf disease, stunting, growth retardation on coffee, and dying slowly disease on pepper 1.3 Biological control measures of root-knot nematode Meloidogyne Early prevention is an important solution in controlling nematodes Currently, when the plant showed symptoms, the disease caused by nematodes is already relatively serious, so the prevention will be ineffective or slowly effective Biological control measures can create products that directly or indirectly affect plant-parasitic nematodes Paecilomyces javanicus can be used to control Meloidogyne spp Lysobacter antibioticus HS124 and their antibiotic product 4-HPAA have the ability to inhibit Meloidogyne incognita CHAPTER MATERIALS AND METHODS 2.1 Times, subject, location, content and research methods 2.1.1

variations in Meloidogyne spp Morphometrics of adult females, males and juveniles from the same populations were used in a Canonical discriminant analysis (CDA) For juveniles, among 16 quantitative characters, five quantitative characters (lip height, DGO, hyaline length, b, and c’) were taxonomically significant For males, among 23 characters were used, two characters (b’, c’) were taxonomically significant There were three 13 characters (Stl, EP, a) were taxonomically significant among 12 analyzed characters in the females 3.3.2 Morphological variations of Meloidogyne spp Fig

Meloidogyne spp., based on the region of NAD5 sequences using GTR+G model Numbers on the left of each node are bootstrap values for 1000 replications 20 Discussion In this study, the sequences from gene regions of the tropical group (M incognita, M javanica, M arenaria, M arabicida, M izalcoensis) was grouped together (clade Ia) with bootstrap 99% in ITS rDNA sequences, 92% in D2-D3 of 28S rDNA sequences, 96% in COI mtDNA sequences, 99% in COII-16S mtDNA sequences and 98% in NAD5 mtDNA sequences, these species were recorded mostly in tropical regions The species in temperate group (M hapla; M fallax, M chitwoodi) were grouped together in other clade M incognita, M javanica, M arenaria showed very closely related relationship in this study that can be hardly differentiated (especially the similarity can be 100% in IGS region) Moreover, some studies showed the possibility to hybridize M incognita and M arenaria proving their closely related phylogenetic relationship Jansen et al (2016) studied the regions of COI, COII, CO3, NAD1, NAD3, NAD5 mtDNA and concluded that NAD5 gene can be used to identify the species in tropical group (M incognita, M javanica, and M arenaria) Other species in clade Ia, such as M ethiopica, M inornata, M luci, can be identified by using COII-16S region Our study showed similar results to Jansen et al (2016), nucleotide variation in NAD5 gene were highest (1-2%) among analyzed gene regions in M incognita, M javanica, and M arenaria Therefore, this gene can be used to identify these species The sequences of M enterolobii (specimen ID: 5342, 5349, 5352) showed the most closely related relationship to tropical group These results are in agreement with Tigano et al., 2005 The sequences of M enterolobii are clearly separated from the sequences of other species in clade Ia, creating clade Ib with bootstrap 99% in ITS sequences, 92% in D2D3 sequences, 99% in COI sequences, 100% in COII-16S and NAD5 sequences Aside from species in clade I, the above gene regions can be used to easily identify all other Meloidogyne species.Onkendi, Moleleki (2013) proved ITS, D2D3 sequences can be used as efficient tool in identifying M marylandi, M graminis, and M naasi or M enterolobii, M hapla, M chitwoodi, and M fallax More closely related species can be identified using mtDNA genes because the mtDNA genes evolve very fast, but they are intraspecific highly conserved 21 Genetic variations within tropical group are low and the genetic variations are higher in other species Thus, rDNA genes (ITS, D2D3) and mtDNA genes (COI, COII) can be used in identifying Meloidogyne species except for M incognita, M javanica, M arenaria Only NAD5 gene can be used to separate the species in tropical group Moreover, specific primers can be used to identify M incognita, M javanica, and M arenaria quickly 3.5 Testing preventative measures 3.5.1 Testing Paecylomyces javanicus on M incognita P javanicus inhibited significantly the hatching rate of M incognita The hatching rate reduced corresponding to the increase of the concentration of P javanicus The hatching rates were 11.8%, 8.9% and 3.8% in different concentrations of P javanicus compared to 39.1% in distilled-water and 30% in 0.9% NaCl after 120hrs The hatching rates in distilled-water and 0.9% NaCl were insignificantly different After 24hrs, mortality rate of juveniles was highest in CT2 fomular (16.6%) After 72hrs, the mortality rate was 6,3% in 0.9% NaCl, but can be up to 65% in the experiments with P javanicus and 87% after 168 hrs Effect of P javanicus Table 3.29 Effect of P javanicus to mortality rate of juveniles of M to hatching rate of M incognita incognita 3.5.2 Testing Lysobacter antibioticus HS124 on M incognita After 48hrs, mortality rate of juveniles of M incognita was 14.8% at 30% of Lysobacter antibioticus HS124, but the lower concentrations of Lysobacter antibioticus HS124 had no effect on mortality rate of juveniles of M incognita After 72hrs and 168hrs, the mortality rates of juveniles of M incognita were highest corresponding to 59.3 and 65.5% The hatching rate of M incognita in distilled-water increased through the Table 3.28 22 time was 59.6% after 120hrs and was 29.4% in 30% of Lysobacter antibioticus HS124 Table 3.30 Effect of L antibioticus HS124 to hatching rate of M incognita Table 3.31 Effect of L antibioticus HS124 to mortality rate of juveniles of M incognita 3.5.3 Testing 4-HPAA on M incognita After 24hrs, the mortality rates were 31.9 and 37.7 % at and 7.5 mg/ml of 4-HPAA, respectively These mortality rates were significantly different At 2.5 and mg/ml of 4-HPAA, mortality rate of M incognita were 98.1–98.2% after 72hrs The results showed that 4-HPAA was highly effective in controlling M incognita After 24hrs, hatching rates in distilled-water and 1mg/ml of 4HPAA were insignificantly different (16.3% and 15.1%, respectively) but in 5-7.5 mg/ml of 4-HPAA hatching rates was 0% Table 3.33 Effect of 4-HPAA to mortality rates of juveniles M incognita Table 3.32 Effect of 4-HPAA to hatching rate of M incognita 23 CHAPTER CONCLUSION 4.1 CONCLUSION The thesis recorded 50 populations of Meloidogyne spp on 17 different host plants that belong to 07 species of Meloidogyne namely: M incognita, M javanica, M arenaria, M graminicola, M enterolobii 01 new species (M daklakensis) and 01 probably new species (Meloidogyne sp.) were recorded M cynariensis, a species was previously found in Lam Dong, was not found in this study Density and frequency of Meloidogyne spp were high on almost all the regions Thus, preventative measures should be applied before planting Morphologically intraspecific variations of Meloidogyne spp are relatively high EP, periniel pattern in females, lip height, stylet length, lip region in males, tail length, hyaline length, tail shape are useful features in identifying Meloidogyne spp Genetic variations between M incognita, M javanica, and M arenaria are low and can be hardly identified by using ITS, D2D3, COI, COII sequences NAD5 gene is a good marker in identifying these species Genetic variations of ITS, D2D3, COI, COII, NAD5 regions are high, and these regions can be used efficiently in analyzing the evolution of all other Meloidogyne species Multiplex-PCR can be effeciently used to identify three species M incognita, M arenaria, M javanica quickly with high sensitivity and accuracy Their sequence lengths are 300, 420, and 670 bp, respectively P javanicus at 2×106 spores/ml had the highest effect in controlling M incognita, inhibiting 96% of egg hatching and causing 87% mortality of M incognita after 168hrs L antibioticus at 3×105 spores/ml killed 65.5 % juveniles of M incognita and reduced the hatching rate to 30.4% after 168hrs 4-HPAA at 2.5mg/ml can kill 90% juveniles and reduced the hatching rate to 11.8% after 96hrs 4.2 Recommendation A more detailed description of the species Meloidogyne sp in this study needs to be prepared and published All the experiments of
