Comparative PCR analyses for the detection of the Cape St. Paul wilt disease phytoplasma in coconut palms in Ghana

2018-08-01

Abstract excerpt

Cape St. Paul Wilt Disease (CSPWD), the Ghanaian form of the lethal yellowing‐type diseases associated with phytoplasmas, is yet the major factor affecting the coconut industry in Ghana since 1932. Recently, a PCR assay based on a non‐ribosomal gene sequence was developed for the detection of the CSPWD phytoplasma in the West Region. Our study aimed at comparing the performance of the non‐ribosomal PCR to existing...
