Abstract
Histology of almond (Prunus amygdalus Batsch) seedlings roots was conducted for the changes by a root-knot nematode and a fungi Plasmodiophora brassicae. The seedlings were planted in infected soil collected from Kork, district Khuzdar, Balochistan. Sections of necrotic and galled roots were cut 6–8 µm thick using a rotary microtome. Meloidogyne javanica formed egg masses inside the cortical root tissue. In most cases the permanent feeding sites induced by the nematode adjacent to vascular tissue, consisted of large giant cells. While Plasmodiophora brassicae infected the root-cortex, reached the vascular tissue and caused hyperplasia along with hypertrophy.
