Description
Summary:The available published information on the occurrence of resistance-breaking populations of root-knot nematodes ( spp.) on resistant tomato in Greece is updated. Within the period 1994-2013, 13 populations (11 and 2 ) able to reproduce on resistant tomato had been recorded in the regions of Crete, Epirus, Thrace, Peloponissos and Macedonia. In the present study six more resistance-breaking populations, four and two , were detected in the period 2013-2014, all originating from greenhouse vegetables in Crete. Four of these populations, two and two , originated from the region of Ierapetra. This is the first time that such populations are found in this major area of greenhouse vegetable production of Crete.
