M.e. Biology and Identification
M.e. identification:
Morphological and Molecular
Dr. Adrienne Gorny, plant nematologist at North Carolina State University and FINDMe co-PI, shares how scientists and plant disease diagnosticians identify the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne enterolobii, abbreviated "M.e."
What makes M.e. different from other nematodes?
Morphological Identification
Molecular Identification
Biology and Life Cycle
Molecular Identification
Protocol for PCR diagnostics on individual root knot nematodes from the US Vegetable Laboratory - Nematology (adapted from Holterman et al. 2009).
Morphological Identification
Notes on the morphological characteristics from female, male and second-stage juvenile stages, adapted from the original description of the species in Yang and Eisenback, 1983.
Biology and Life Cycle
The life cycle of M.e. is very similar to that of other root knot nematode species, with female, male, and juvenile stages.
