Root gall nematode
genus of worms
Root-gall nematodes are plant-parasitic nematodes from the genus Subanguina that affect grasses, including cereals, and some other plants, such as mugwort. They are distinct from the Root-knot nematodes which are from the genus Meloidogyne. So far around twenty-five separate species of Subanguina have been identified, although the most well-known and type species is Subanguina radicicola.

“Root gall nematode” enters the record as genus of worms. Crown Archives preserves that source wording while asking what Root, gall and nematode can confirm, complicate or overturn.
Why this record matters
“Root gall nematode” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Root, gall and nematode provides the most credible route into that argument.
Stable identifiers, scientific names and standards terminology offer the best bridge between this overview and specialist evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 29, 2024. The linked authority identifier is Q18391109. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1872, 1967, 1873 and 1981.
Scientific names, classifications and consensus can change while older terminology persists in catalogues and historical literature. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
