Thorne's meadow nematode (Thorne's root-lesion nematode; Pratylenchus thornei) is a plant pathogenic nematode.
Hosts
Hosts include Aegilops geniculata (ovate goatgrass) and Triticum aestivum (cultivated wheat).
Aegilops geniculata enjoys moderate resistance to this nematode. Ae. geniculata is thus used as a wild source of resistance for introgression into cultivated wheat.
