Abstract
TYLER1, following the observations of Byars2 and Gabriel3, conducted an experiment to determine whether the root-knot nematode, Heterodera marioni (Cornu) (now Meloidogyne sp.), could reproduce in the absence of males. Lines were maintained from isolated females through as many as twelve generations. Since Heterodera and Meloidogyne are closely related genera of the subfamily Heteroderinae, the possibility of such reproduction (parthenogenesis or syngonism) occurring in the potato-root eelworm, Heterodera rostochiensis Woll., was investigated.
