Cellular response of grape seedlings to Rotylenchulus reniformis and Tylenchulus semipenetrans infections

Abstract

The population dynamics of the reniform nematode, Rotylenchulus reniformis Linford et Oliveira, and the citrus nematode, Tylenchulus semipenetrans Cobb, on grapevine seedlings, Vitis vinifera L., have been studied previously (Taha and Sultan, 1977). In this paper the cellular response of grapevine to each of the nematode species is described.
