Comparison of the damage potential and yield loss of the rice root–knot nematode, Meloidogyne graminicola, on lowland and upland rice varieties from Myanmar
(Russian Academy of Sciences, 2015)In Asia, the rice root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne graminicola, is an important pathogen of Asian rice (Oryza sativa) in most rice producing countries including Myanmar. In the first part of our study, the damage potential ... -
Differential responses of resistant and susceptible groundnut genotypes at cellular level to Ditylenchus africanus
(Brill Academy Publishers, 2011)Ditylenchus africanus causes cellular breakdown in pod tissue of susceptible groundnut cultivars. The histopathology of this nematode on a resistant genotype was studied using light microscopy and compared with the ... -
Histopathology of the rice root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne graminicola, on Oryza sativa and O. glaberrima
(Brill Academic Publishers, 2014)The root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne graminicola, can cause substantial rice yield losses. Understanding the mechanisms of resistance to this nematode species in known resistant rice genotypes may help to improve rice ... -
Host and yield responses of soybean genotypes resistant or susceptible to Meloidogyne incognita in vivo
(Taylor & Francis, 2013)Host and yield responses of soybean genotypes resistant to Meloidogyne incognita were verified in semi-field and field trials at four different localities in South Africa. The resistant cultivar LS5995 and susceptible ... -
Indications of variation in host suitability to root knot nematode populations in commercial tomato varieties
(Academic journals, 2012)The host suitability of 21 local, commercial tomato varieties were evaluated in concurrent greenhouse trials for resistance to Meloidogyne incognita race 2 and Meloidogyne javanica, respectively. M. incognita race-2-resistance ... -
Phenols and lignin are involved in the defence response of banana (Musa) plants to Radopholus similis infection
(Brill Academic Publishers, 2014)The role of lignin and phenols in plant defence ranges from preformed characteristic to inducible physical and chemical response against nematode infection. Our study shows the involvement of lignin and phenols in the ...
