  abstract = {{T}he root-knot nematode, {M}eloidogyne graminicola, can cause substantial rice yield losses. {U}nderstanding the mechanisms of resistance to this nematode species in known resistant rice genotypes may help to improve rice genotypes, aiming at developing and implementing environment-friendly and cost-effective nematode management strategies. {U}sing susceptible and resistant rice genotypes, a comparative analysis of histological response mechanisms was made during two phases of the nematode colonisation: i) root penetration; and ii) subsequent establishment and development by {M}. graminicola second-stage juveniles ({J}2). {T}wo types of defence response mechanisms could be distinguished in the resistant rice genotypes. {T}he early defence response consisted of a hypersensitive response ({HR})-like reaction in the early stage of infection characterised by necrosis of cells directly affected by nematode feeding. {T}his {HR}-like reaction was observed only in the {M}. graminicola-resistant {O}ryza glaberrima genotypes and not in the {M}. graminicola-susceptible {O}. sativa genotypes. {T}he late defence response took place after the induction of giant cells by the {J}2. {G}iant cells usually collapsed and degenerated before {J}2 developed into adults. {S}tructural features of the roots of the susceptible {O}. sativa showed greater root and stele diam. and cortex thickness than the resistant {O}. glaberrima genotypes. {D}esired features of plants with resistance to {M}. graminicola elucidated in this study can be used for selection of plants for breeding programmes.},
