Abstract

Reproduction of the soybean cyst nematode (SCN), Heterodera glycines Ichinohe on the susceptible soybean cultivar, Lee 74, was significantly reduced by pre-, post- and simultaneous treatments of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA, aspirin). The control efficiencies were 60%, 64% and 87% for pre-, post- and simultaneous treatments, respectively. ASA had no significant effect on the survival of 2nd stage juveniles and their penetration into the soybean root tissues, but significantly inhibited the early stage nematode growth in the roots. Syncytia were formed 2∼3 days after inoculation in the susceptible soybean without ASA treatment, characterized by dense cytoplasm and increased cellular organelles such as mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum. The nematode stylet was penetrated into the syncytial cell, and feeding tube was formed at the nematode stylet was penetrated into the syncytial cell, and feeding tube was formed at the nematode stylet entry. However, in the ASA treatments, syncytium was not formed or degenerated, depending on the root tissues. In the pre-treatments of ASA, nematode stylets did not penetrate into cells, showing callose-like cell wall thickening formed at the nematode probing sites, or retracted from the infected cells. The stylet penetration sites of syncytial cells appeared to be sealed off with fibrillar materials. With post-treatment of ASA, syncytia formed by the nematode were degenerated, characterized by degradation of syncytial cytoplasm.
