Fig. 3From: Molecular and phenotypic characterization of Hemicriconemoides rosae (Rathour et al., 2003) from mustard rhizosphere in IndiaThe principal component analysis (PCA) of different populations of Hemicriconemoides species based on female specimens with different body parameters as factors. The biplot was based on two major principal components; PC1 and PC2. L = Body length, PL = Pharynx length, a (L/BD), b(L/PS), V% (anterior to vulval/total body length) × 100, Stylet = Stylet length, Stylet knob W = Stylet knob width, R = Total number of body annules, Rst = Annules from anterior extremity to base of stylet, Roes. = Annules from anterior extremity to base of oesophagus, Rv = Annules from vulva to tail terminus, Ran = Annules from anus to tail terminus, Annules W = Annules width, Sty%L = Stylet length/body length*100. The ellipses represent the group of nematodes/isolates coming together showing fewer variationsBack to article page
