Mode of Action and Interactions of Nematophagous Fungi

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Integrated Management of Plant Pests and Diseases ((IMPD,volume 2))

Abstract

Nematophagous fungi are potential candidates for biological control of plant-parasitic nematodes, and an important constituent in integrated pest management programs. In this chapter we describe various aspects on the biology of these fungi. Nematophagous species can be found in most fungal taxa, indicating that the nematophagous habit evolved independently in the different groups of nematophagous fungi. Regarding their mode of action we discuss recognition phenomena (e.g. chemotaxis and adhesion), signaling and differentiation, and penetration of the nematode cuticle/eggshell using mechanical, as well as enzymatic (protease and chitinase) means. The activities of nematophagous fungi in soil and rhizosphere is also discussed.
