TLDR
Second stage larvae of the root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita [(Kofoid and White) Chitwood], were examined to elucidate the ultrastructure of the amphids, which are paired lateral organs believed to function in chemosensory perception.About:

Ultrastructure of invertebrate chemo-, thermo-, and hygroreceptors and its functional significance.
Helmut Altner,Linde Prillinger +1 more
TL;DR: In insects, chemo-, thermo-, and hygroreceptive sensory cells are located exclusively in sensilla, which are organelles built up by a definite number of characteristic cells.

Developmental alterations in sensory neuroanatomy of the Caenorhabditis elegans dauer larva.
TL;DR: The anterior sensory ultrastructure of the C. elegans dauer larva was examined in several specimens and compared with that of the second‐stage (L2) larva, which immediately precedes the dauer stage, and comparisons were made with L3, postdauer L4, and adult stages.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemoreception in plant parasitic nematodes
TL;DR: The role and functioning of the anterior chemosensory organs of plant parasitic nematodes is examined, with particular emphasis on the amphids, and the involvement of amphidial secretions in chemoreception and the behavioral and electrophysiological analyses of nematode responses to semiochemicals are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemo- and thermosensory neurons: structure and function in animal parasitic nematodes.
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that resumption of development is under the control of the ASJ neuronal pair, and identification of the neurons that control the infective process could provide the basis for entirely new approaches to parasite control involving interference with development at the time and place of initial host-contact.

A low-viscosity epoxy resin embedding medium for electron microscopy.
TL;DR: A low-viscosity embedding medium based on ERL-4206 is recommended for use in electron microscopy and has a long pot life of several days and infiltrates readily because of its low viscosity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electron microscopical reconstruction of the anterior sensory anatomy of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans.?2UU.
TL;DR: The complete structure of the anterior sensory nervous system of the small nematode C. elegans has been determined by reconstruction from serial section electronmicrographs and is found to be largely invariant.
