this involves a plethora of concurrent cellular activities. Physiological
experiments or metabolic profiling can quantify this response. Among several
diseases of Pogostemon cablin (Blanco)
Benth. (Patchouli), root-knot nematode infection caused by <i style="mso-bidi-font-style:
normal">Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid and White) Chitwood causes severe
damage to the plant and hence, the oil production. In the present study, we
identified
M. incognita morphologically and at
molecular level using sequenced characterized amplified region marker (SCAR).
M. incognita was artificially
inoculated at different levels of second stage juveniles (J2) to
examine the effect on Patchouli plant growth parameters. Peroxidase and
polyphenol oxidase enzyme activity and changes in the total phenol and chlorophyll
contents in M. incognita was also
evaluated in response to infection. The results have demonstrated that nematode
infestation leads to increased peroxidase activities in the leaves of the
patchouli plants and thereby, increase in phenolic content as a means of defence
against nematode infestation. Chlorophyll content was also found decreased but
no changes in polyphenol oxidase enzyme activity.</span
