Fine structure of phloematic trypanosomatid-coconut tree interaction
2010-02-01
Abstract excerpt
Phytomonas wilt or Hartrot is a fatal disease of palm (Arecaceae) species including Cocos nucifera (coconut) and is caused by a phloematic trypanosomatid, a promastigote parasite that inhabits phloem sieve elements of disease palms.
