Meloidogyne diseases in tobacco crops: identification of species, characterization of isolates and evaluation of Nicotiana spp. accessions for resistance to Meloidogyne enterolobii Meloidogyne species are undoubtedly the major group of plant parasitic nematodes. Meloidogyne species are polyphagous, worldwide distributed and reproduce profusely in various agronomical crops. Tobacco crop is not an exception, being severely affected by these worms. Worldwide, the control of these diseases is based mainly on the incorporation in commercial cultivars of a single resistance gene found in Nicotiana tomentosa (gene Rk) and known to be effective against races 1 and 3 of M. incognita. However, the frequent occurrence of symptomatic plants in tobacco crops suggests the existence of other genotypes of Meloidogyne as etiological agents of the disease today. Therefore, our study aimed to perform a survey of Meloidogyne species occurring in 39 tobacco growing areas in Southern Brazil, in cultivars carrying the Rk gene. For this, Meloidogyne populations obtained from infected roots were established, maintained on tomato plants and specimens were identified at specific level by isoenzyme analysis (α-esterase), by analysis of perineal patterns and by sequencing of the 18SITS1-5.8S ribosomal RNA region. Isolates obtained from these populations were established from a single egg mass, maintained in tomato plants, grouped into species based on these results and analyzed for host range (pathogenicity) and several morphometric characteristics. From the total of samples, eighteen (46.2%) contained M. incognita, ten (25.6%) M. enterolobii, thirteen (33.3%) M. javanica, one (2.6%) M. arenaria and one (2.6%) M. inornata. Mixed populations were also found in 25.6% of the samples. Two populations (LGM 27 e LGM 38) (5.1%) were morphologically and biochemically atypical, but with host ranges and ITS1-5.8S-18S sequences identical to M. enterolobii and M. incognita, respectively. Intraspecific variations were observed in relation to host range and morphometric characters, but usually close to their original descriptions. M. incognita race 2 was predominant (79%) and strains of M. enterolobii were common fact (40%). Due to the high incidence of M. enterolobii found in this survey and the absence of information about resistance sources to this species, we characterized, based on gall index (GI), the reactions (resistance/susceptibility) of 97 accession of Nicotiana spp. to M. enterolobii. Seven genotypes (J102007T10, J1612008T12, J1612008T34, I112008T97, I112008T98, and I112008T99 I112008T100) were identified and evaluated in a second experiment. These were considered promising sources of resistance, once they exhibited low severity values (IG <1.0). From of our results, it is obviously necessary to include resistance to virulent biotypes (mainly race 2) of M. incognita, M. javanica, M. enterolobii and M. arenaria in commercial cultivars. This study defined resistance sources for M. enterolobii thus providing novel information for the literature related to plant nematodes.
