Abstract
Potato cyst nematodes (PCNs; Globodera rostochiensis and G. pallida) are devastating pests that infect potato root. We describe an in vitro assay for PCN infection on potato plantlet in tissue culture. This method is useful for studying nematode parasitism on potato and for investigating responses of potato clones/lines to PCN infection.
