Abstract

Indian spinach (Basella alba) plants were found to be infected with root-knot nematode in a pot experiment of Plant Pathology division, Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI), Gazipur, Bangladesh. The molecular diagnosis of root-knot nematodes of Indian spinach at species level was done. Utilizing DNA sequencing of the rDNA 28S D2/D3 gene and PCR with SCAR primers Meloidogyne incognita was detected from infected Indian spinach.
