Die in vitro-Zuchten von Bursaphelenchus spp. am Referenzlaboratorium für Quarantäneschadorganismen am Julius Kühn-Institut in Braunschweig
[The in vitro cultivation of Bursaphelenchus spp. at the reference laboratory for quarantine pests at Julius Kühn-Institut in Braunschweig]
Journal für Kulturpflanzen - Journal of Cultivated Plants 72 (8), 415-420
Abstract: The Forest quarantine laboratory at Julius Kühn-Institut in Braunschweig (Germany) curates a unique collection of living Bursaphelenchus species, permanent slides and ITS-RFLP profiles. The collection was initiated by Dr. Helen Braasch and currently comprises 48 species in 308 different isolates. These isolates were collected over 30 years across the globe from various habitats and sources, like forest trees and wood imports including wooden packaging material. Cultivation of the nematodes on sporulating and non-sporulating Botrytis cinerea is sophisticated, labor-intensive and requires both, experience and patience.
