Question: The symptom of syncytium formation at feeding sites is characteristic of…

Options:

Heterodera avenae
Meloidogyne sp.
Tylenchulus sp.
Rotylenchulus sp.

✅Explanation:
Syncytium formation is a hallmark of cyst nematodes, including Heterodera avenae (cereal cyst nematode). When these nematodes infect plant roots, they induce the fusion of multiple plant cells to form a syncytium, which serves as a specialized feeding site for the nematode. The syncytium provides essential nutrients and resources for nematode development and reproduction.
