Abstract:
The histology of the permanent feeding site of Rotylenchulus reniformis was studied in roots of inoculated seedlings of upland cotton, tomato and mint. The nematode fed in the stelar region and the most outstanding host reactions were hypertrophy of pericycle cells and a thickening of cell walls in the endodermis. Multinucleate giant cells were not observed in any of the hosts. © 1973, Brill. All rights reserved.
