Abstract
Radophulus similis, the burrowing nematode colonizes and reproduces in roots and rhizomes of Anthurium andraeanum Linden ex Andre in Madeira, Portugal. Histological examinations of infected rhizomes shows necrosis and cavities extending from the cortical parenchima into the vascular bundles. All nematode life stages occurred in the phloem. Nematode specimens were also observed in the metaxylem elements.File in questo prodotto:
