Draft genome of pin nematode Paratylenchus projectus recovered from rhizosphere of blueberry.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The pin nematode, belonging to the genus Paratylenchus, parasitizes higher plants, often causing reduced or inhibited root tip development.

Methods

Pin nematodes were isolated from the roots and rhizosphere of blueberry plants and subsequently identified as representatives of Paratylenchus projectus based on morphological characteristics and molecular barcoding. The P. projectus draft genome was sequenced using the Illumina platform.

Results

Phylogenetic analysis based on 18S, 28S and ITS rRNA placed this species in highly supported clades alongside other P. projectus specimens. The draft genome of P. projectus was sequenced and assembled, representing the first genomic data for both the genus Paratylenchus and the family Tylenchulidae. The assembled genome
