    Abstract

    Amplified ITS region products of rDNA from 25 valid species and one unidentified species from the genus Heterodera and from Meloidodera alni were digested by 26 restriction enzymes. A combination of seven enzymes clearly separated the agriculturally most important species from each other and from their sibling species. Species specific digestion profiles of ITS regions and a table with approximate sizes of digested fragments for several identification enzymes are given. Heterogeneity of ITS regions was revealed for some Cyst forming nematode species.
