Abstract
Tylenchulus semipenetrans was identified morphologically from root samples collected from a pomegranate plant in a garden in the Shahdad region of southeastern Iran. Molecular analysis based on the D2-D3 segment of 28S rDNA confirmed this population as T. semipenetrans. Phylogenetic analysis using the Maximum Likelihood (ML) method, places this population close to the same species from the USA, Egypt and Korea. This is the first record of T. semipenetrans on pomegranate in Iran and worldwide.
