Questions and Answers

How do plant parasitic nematodes contribute to the establishment of secondary pathogens?

  • They alter the host's tissue to make it suitable for colonization by secondary pathogens (correct)
  • They compete with secondary pathogens for resources
  • They physically attack the secondary pathogens
  • They produce chemicals that inhibit the growth of secondary pathogens

What role do nematodes play in breaking disease resistance in resistant cultivars of crop plants?

  • They alter the host's tissue to facilitate the entry of microorganisms (correct)
  • They directly attack the resistant cultivars
  • They induce a chemical defense in the crop plants
  • They weaken the disease resistance in the crop plants

What was observed by Atkinson in 1892 regarding nematode-fungus interaction?

  • Nematodes and fungi have no interaction
  • Nematodes assist in controlling the spread of fungus
  • Nematodes and fungi compete for resources in soil
  • Fusarium wilt was more severe in the presence of Meloidogyne spp. (correct)
