Özet

Lemon palm (Melissa officinalis L.), a perennial plant from Lamiaceae family, is cultivated in all Mediterranean countries and coastal regions of Turkiye. It can be attacked by several pathogens like nematodes which reduce its yield and quality. In this study, morphometric measurements, morphological and molecular identifications were done using juveniles and females obtained from galled roots of lemon balm collected from Balikesir province of Turkiye. As a result, M. arenaria was the only identified species in analyzed samples. This is the first report of M. arenaria detected on lemon balm in Turkiye.
