Abstract
Cellular alteration in Meloidogyne incognita infected Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) cv. Red Kandhari roots were histologically studied. The common features encountered were hypertrophy and erosion of cortical surface. Damage to all layers of root tissues which comprise of cortex, endodermis, pericycle and vascular parenchyma was observed. The giant cells with ill defined boundaries had section of nematodes and egg masses. A large region with fibrous boundaries at the base was also observed.
