And Hutton, York, YO41 1LZ; and 2National Plant Protection Organisation, Nematology, Geertjesweg 15, 6706 EA Wageningen, The Netherlands. Following long-term modifications at Rothamsted Study, the Rothamsted Nematode collection (RNC) has lately been transferred towards the Food and Environment Research Agency (Fera). This historic collection comprises of about 16,000 slides of plant-parasitic nematodes, over 3,500 of which are sort. The collection has now been extensively catalogued and is presently undergoing restoration, which consists of digital image capture for any virtual web-based collection. Fera have retained the function in the RNC because the premier UK depository for slide material of all newly described nematode species, and continues to facilitate taxonomic analysis by providing specimens for loan. The Nematode Collection of Wageningen University (NCWU) has lately transferred for the National Plant Protection Organisation (NPPO), The Netherlands. This486 Journal of Nematology, Volume 44, No. four, December 2012 collection, combined using the currently current slide collection on the NPPO, has been re-named the Wageningen Nematode Collection (WaNeCo). A searchable sort specimens collection and nomenclatorial database has been produced (www.waneco.eu). WaNeCo maintains practically three.600 accessions of forms originating from terrestrial, freshwater and marine habitats worldwide, excluding parasites of higher Animalia. The nomenclatorial database is according to a former card system of about 25,000 cards of nominal taxa and synonyms, which have now been digitized. The typical slide collection includes about 50,000 slides, representing about 200,000 individual identified nematodes. The big a part of this collection is focused on terrestrial nematodes from Europe. It really is employed for teaching, identification and taxonomic research. Q-bank would be the nematological approach of providing ecological, morphological and molecular information and facts for the identification of regulated and other relevant plantparasitic nematodes. Both collections support this initiative to conserve existing information but to also provide modern tools for nematode identification. PubMed ID:http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20060988 This database comprises ecological, morphological, physiological, and sequence data of effectively documented populations of much more than 50 plant parasitic nematodes species, enabling plant protection organizations, inspection bodies and private laboratories an accurate identification. The key concentrate of Q-bank Nematodes is on European quarantine nematodes and economically essential plant-parasitic nematodes from all over the world, having said that, for correct distinction of regulated from non-regulated pests and ailments, descriptions with the latter are equally significant. Specific focus is paid towards the genus Meloidogyne (root-knot nematodes), with far more than 20 species (over 400 sequences) integrated. Q-Bank is updated by a team of curators with connections to relevant phytosanitary collections. Q-bank is supported by the Dutch Ministry of Financial Affairs, Agriculture and Innovation and by QBOL, an EU-project with partners from 20 nations (www.q-bank.eu/Nematodes).
