Which part of the tobacco plant is infected by Meloidogyne incognita?
Correct answer: B. Root
- A. Stem
- B. Root
- C. Flower
- D. Leaf
Explanation
Meloidogyne incognita, commonly known as the root-knot nematode, infects the roots of various plant species, including tobacco. The nematode causes characteristic galls or swellings on the roots, which can lead to stunted growth and reduced crop yield. So, in the case of tobacco plants, it is the roots that are infected by Meloidogyne incognita.
