Abstract
Changes in the carbohydrate content were studied in root (wilt) infected coconut palms. Total, reducing, and non-reducing sugars were significantly higher in the leaves of infected palms. But a depletion of these sugars was observed in the roots of diseased palms, indicating thereby a possible block in the translocation process. Starch and total carbohydrates were at a reduced level in the leaves and roots of infected palms.
