The potato cyst nematodes Globodera pallida and G. rostochiensis (PCN), and tobacco cyst nematode (TCN), G. tabacum, are the most important parasitic nematodes of potato and tobacco worldwide. Ribosomal DNA provides useful molecular data for diagnostics, the study of polymorphisms and for evolutionary research in eukaryotic organisms including nematodes. Here we present data on the structure and organization of a rarely studied part of the intergenic spacer (IGS) region of the PCN and TCN genome of cyst nematodes. This region has shown potential for diagnostic purposes and population studies in other organisms including nematodes. In nematodes, the ribosomal RNA gene cluster comprises three genes: 5.8S, 18S and 28S rRNA, which are separated by spacer regions: the intergenic spacer (IGS), non-transcribed spacer (NTS), externally transcribed spacer (EST) and the internally transcribed spacer (ITS). The intergenic spacer (IGS) region consists of an external transcribed spacer (ETS) and a non-transcribed spacer (NTS) which is located between the 28S of one repeat and the 18S gene of the next repeat within the rRNA genes cluster. In this study, the first flanking portion of the IGS was amplified, cloned and sequenced from PCN and TCN. Primers were then designed to amplify the whole IGS sequence. PCR amplification of IGS from G. tabacum, G. pailida, and G. rostochiensis yielded respectively: a single amplicon of 3 kb, three amplicons sized 2.5, 2.6 and 2.9 kb, and two amplicons sized 2.8 and 2.9 kb. Results showed that Globodera spp. has more than one variant copy of the IGS, with both long and short repetitive DNA elements. An approximately 400 bp long region without any internal repetitive elements, were identified in a position between the two repetitive regions suggesting that there is a 5S gene in the IGS of these species.
