Classical and molecular methods were used to study the nematode communities associated with rhizosphere soil and roots of a collection of 16 olive cultivars from a world olive germplasm bank in Mengibar (Jaen province, southern Spain). Classical nematological analysis, including soil nematode extraction, species counting and morphological identification showed that 24 taxa belonging to 9 genera (including Aphelenchoides, Criconemoides, Ditylenchus, Filenchus, Helicotylenchus, Merlinius, Paratylenchus, Tylenchus, and Xiphinema) and 8 families (including Anguinidae, Aphelenchidae, Belonolaimidae, Criconematidae, Hoplolaimidae, Longidoridae, Tylenchidae and Tylenchulidae) of plant-parasitic nematodes were present, with one species (Helicotylenchus digonicus) being prevalent in all samples. The low values of the plant-parasitic nematode index (PPI) indicated a high disturbance of the field soil probably due to application of herbicides and fertilizers. Cluster analysis of population densities of the various nematode species, nematode trophic groups, and ecological indices grouped most olive cultivars into three main clusters indicating that olive genotypes differ in the nematode communities in their rhizosphere soil. The use of T-RFLP analysis discriminated to a higher extent the nematode communities present in the rhizosphere soil from the different olive cultivars as compared to the morphological-based analysis. This study provides the first evidence of an effect of the olive genotype on nematode community composition by combining classical morphological and molecular approaches.
