First Report of Root-Knot Nematode, Meloidogyne arenaria on Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis L.) in Turkey

Abstract

Lemon palm (Melissa officinalis L.), a perennial plant from Lamiaceae family, is cultivated in all Mediterranean countries and coastal regions of Türkiye. It can be attacked by several pathogens like nematodes which reduce its yield and quality. In this study, morphometric measurements, morphological and molecular identifications were done using juveniles and females obtained from galled roots of lemon balm collected from Balıkesir province of Türkiye. As a result, M. arenaria was the only identified species in analyzed samples. This is the first report of M. arenaria detected on lemon balm in Türkiye.
