| Abstract: | The reproduction of two Meloidogyne incognita populations from Crete, Greece was assessed on ten pepper cultivars in pots in controlled conditions. One was virulent on the Mi gene of resistant tomato and was unable to reproduce on pepper while the other was avirulent on the Mi gene and produced galls and egg masses in all pepper cultivars. It has been previously reported by other researchers that various isolates of M. incognita virulent on the Mi gene (selected or natural) have a zero or decreased reproduction on the nematode susceptible peppers California Wonder and Doux Longdes Landes. This observation is confirmed in our study with a population of M. incognita from Crete on commercially grown pepper cultivars. |
