Tylenchida Tylenchina Tylenchoidea Meloidogynidae Meloidogyninae
Meloidogyne morocciensis Rammah & Hirshmann, 1990
Review general characteristics of the genus Meloidogyne.
Reported median body size for this species (Length mm; width micrometers; weight micrograms) - Click:
Described from roots of a peach rootstock in Morocco. Also reported from France and Brazil.
Feeding site establishment and development typical of genus.
Prunus persica, Humulus lupulus, Cucurbita pepo, Actinidia deliciosa, Vitis vinifera and others.
Ecophysiological Parameters:
Chromosome number 2n=42-49. The large number, and variability of chromosome number, are typical of species reproducing by obligate mitotic parthenogenesis. (Rammah amd Hirshmann, 1990; Carneiro et al., 2008; Subbotin et al., 2021; Triantaphyllou, 1985).
