The pot experiments on Vigna mungo with five replicates for each treatment were set up in the Department of Botany, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh (27°52’59” N to 78°04’59” E; 180 m above sea level), India. Histological studies of the roots of infected plants were carried out after 24 h, 48 h, 72 h, 5 days, 10 days, 15 days, 21 days, 25 days and 30 days of inoculation. The second-stage juveniles penetrated into the roots and moved intercellularly by separating the cell walls after 24 h. The first sign of infection observed after 48 h of inoculation was hypertrophy in the cells, around the head of the juvenile. The cytological changes in the hypertrophied cells became more prominent after 72 h of inoculation, and the cells transformed into discrete giant cells. The giant cell cytoplasm.. View More»
