PCA/APWG Distribution Map: Queen Anne's lace wild carrot (Daucus carota).
Currently, three species, the northern root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne hapla), carrot cyst nematode (Heterodera carotae) and P. penetrans root-lesion nematode (Pratylenchus penetrans) are recognized as important pathogens in Michigan (MI) carrot production.
However, it is not clear whether their hybrids are able to survive and reproduce outside managed elds, and if cultivar genes introgress into wild populations.
