Effects of Mi-mediated resistance on nematode reproduction in greenhouse bioassays. Plants were inoculated with nematode eggs at moderate (20,000 eggs/plant) and high (20,000 eggs/plant) inoculum levels under greenhouse conditions. After peak fruit production was over, root systems were harvested, nematode eggs were extracted from the roots, and egg numbers on inoculated plants were compared by One-way ANOVA. At both inoculum levels, resistant (Mi-1.2+) plants had significantly lower eggs/ gram root than susceptible (Mi-1.2-) plants.
