Abstract The primers PCN280f and NEPCN398r were designed for the quantitative detection of the potato-cyst nematode Globodera rostochiensis using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). One, five, 50, 125 and 250 individuals of the second-stage juveniles (J2) of G. rostochiensis were mixed with various stages of vermiform Caenorhabditis elegans to make a total of 500 individuals and DNA was extracted from the nematode mixture. There was a significant correlation (r 2 = 0.9355, P < 0.001) between the threshold cycle values and the number of G. rostochiensis added. When nematodes were extracted from soils artificially infested with G. rostochiensis to various degrees and real-time PCR was conducted using DNA templates from the nematodes extracted, there was a highly significant correlation in the numbers of G. rostochiensis J2 from the real-time PCR method and morphological identification. Real-time PCR sensitively detected a single G. rostochiensis J2 out of 1,000 individuals of free-living nematodes. Similarly, real-time PCR primers RKNf and RKNr were designed for the detection of the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita. This study demonstrated that the real-time PCR assay for the potato-cyst nematode and the root-knot nematode provides a sensitive and reliable means for the rapid quantification of these vermiform pests.
