Use of root organ cultures to investigate the interaction between Glomus intraradices and Pratylenchus coffeae.
The interaction between Glomus intraradices and Pratylenchus coffeae on transformed carrot roots was studied in root organ culture. G. intraradices provided the roots with increased protection against P. coffeae by suppressing nematode reproduction in the roots. The internal and external mycorrhizal development was not influenced by the presence of the nematodes.
