Résumé : Coffee plants (#Coffea arabica# L.) infected by two endoparasitic nematodes (#Pratylenchus coffeae# and #Meloidogyne konaensis#) exhibited reduced NO3- and NH4+ uptake rates in short-term solution culture experiments. Infection by the sedentary nematode (#M. konaensis#) decreased by half the proportion of fine roots per root system and reduced NO3- and NH4+ uptake rates by 63% and 54%, respectively. The migratory nematodes (#P. coffeae#) reduced NO3- uptake rate by 56% and NH4+ uptake rate by 24% without affecting the proportion of fine roots per root system. Such lower NH4+ and NO3- uptake rates in the presence of nematodes are consistent with visual symptoms and foliar analyses indicating N deficiency in long-term field experiments with nematode-infected coffee plants. The nematode parasitic behaviors have a strong incidence on the mechanisms involved in the reduction of N uptake. The sedentary endoparasitic nematode (#M. konaensis#) decreased N uptake by a reduction of fine roots caused by gall formation without apparently affecting the uptake capacity of uninvaded fine root regions. The migratory endoparasitic nematode (#P. coffeae#) seemed to directly affect the root uptake capacity by damaging root cells during nematode penetration, exploration and feeding.
