Since the galls from New Zealand were only weakly positive, and those from USA were negative, for the presence of the <italic>R. toxicus</italic> antigen, it was determined whether CT-like material was present. Tunicaminyluracil-glycolipids, similar to CTs produced by <italic>R. toxicus</italic> were identified in old nematode seed galls from <italic>F. nigrescens</italic> from USA and New Zealand. The estimates of CT-like levels in galls by ELISA, HPLC and <italic>in vitro</italic> enzyme inhibition were consistent.</p>enBook chapter002004211510.1079/9780851996141.020455794Riley, I.
