Abstract
In the coconut palm, affected by the Wilt (Root) disease, different types of chlorosis of leaves, often accompanied with flaccidity are met with. No change is noticed in the size, shape and arrangement of cells of the mesophyll which is attributed to the comparatively late appearance of chlorosis in mature leaves. However, the chloroplastids are found to be highly affected, the desintegration and degeneration of which result in the partial or complete disappearance of the chlorophyll.
