Plant-Parasitic Nematodes Associated with Strawberry and Molecular Identification of and Species in the Central Region of Costa Rica.

Strawberries are primarily cultivated in the Central Region of Costa Rica due to the favorable growing conditions there. However, several factors can affect the final yield and quality of strawberries, including the presence of plant-parasitic nematodes (PPN). Unfortunately, no surveys have been conducted in the country to identify the PPN affecting production.

Background: Plant-parasitic nematodes are one of the most important biotic factors that impact crop production globally. Since hemp cultivation in the U.S.

Genome Announcement: Draft Genome Assembly of Generated Using Long-Read Sequencing.

The hop cyst nematode, , is the most common plant-parasitic nematode associated with hop worldwide. This study reports the draft genome of generated on the PacBio Sequel IIe System with the ultra-low DNA input HiFi sequencing method, and the corresponding genome annotation. This genome resource will help further studies on and other cyst nematodes.
