Abstract
An investigation was undertaken to determine the status of transpiration, water content of leaves and cell and stomata frequencies per unit area of epidermis in coconut palms affected by root (wilt) disease. Significant increases it\ transpiration rate and water content of leaves were noticed in diseased palms. The frequency of epidermal cells and stomata per unit area of leaf was greater in diseased palms, though the stomatal index did not differ significantly between healthy and diseased palms. The existence of an internal water deficit in diseased palms has been indicated.
