Question:

Which part of the tobacco plant is infected by Meloidogyme incognita?

Leaf

Stem

Root

Flower

Solution:

Root-knot nematodes are plant-parasitic nematodes from the genus Meloidogyne. They exist in the soil in areas with hot climates or short winters. Root-knot nematode larvae infect plant roots, causing the development of root-knot galls that drain the plant's nutrients. Thus the correct option is Root.
