Variable suppression by mycorrhiza of root-lesion nematode Pratylenchus thornei reproduction among mung bean genotypes has implications for phenotyping.

Abstract excerpt

Mung bean (Vigna radiata and Vigna mungo) is susceptible to the endoparasitic root-lesion nematode Pratylenchus thornei (Pt), which limits crop productivity. Mung bean roots host symbiotic arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), which improve nutrient uptake and plant growth. The interaction of these organisms was previously reported in a single mung bean cultivar to increase P. thornei reproduction, suggesting...
