Which of the following nematode induced Syncytium cells?

A. Meloidogyne incognita

B. Tylenchulus semipenetrans

C. Heterodera avenae

D. Rotylenchulus reniformis

  Choose the correct answer from the options given below

Solution

Meloidogyne incognita is a root-knot nematode that induces the formation of syncytium cells in plant roots. These nematodes are known for causing the formation of galls on the roots, which are composed of hypertrophied plant cells. Tylenchulus semipenetrans is a citrus nematode that also induces the formation of syncytium cells in plant roots. This nematode is associated with damage to citrus trees, leading to a decline in their health and productivity.
