Tylenchida Tylenchina Tylenchoidea Meloidogynidae Meloidogyninae
Meloidogyne phaseoli Charchar, Eisanback, Charchar & Boiteux, 2008
Review general characteristics of the genus Meloidogyne.
Similar in morphology to M. morocciensis and M. paranaensis but can be separated by biochemical and molecular marhers.
Reported median body size for this species (Length mm; width micrometers; weight micrograms) - Click:
Described from roots of beans in Brasilia, Brazil.
Sedentary endoparasite.
Feeding site establishment and development typical of genus.
Phaseolus vulgaris (bean).. Other good hosts are tomato (Solanum lycopesicum), tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) and pea (Pisum sativum).
Non-hosts include pepper (Capsicum annuum), watermelon (Citrullus lanatus), peanut (Arachis hrpogaea), cotton (Gossypium hirsutum), and soybean (Glycine max),
Corn (Zea mays) is a very por host (Subbotin et al., 2991).
Ecophysiological Parameters:
Stunting, chlorosis, and total absence of Rhizobium nodulation.
