| dc.description.abstract | Enzymatic assay with the acetone powder preparations of the coconut roots revealed an increase in the levels of polyphenol oxidase and peroxidase with the incidence and increase in intensity of coconut root (wilt) disease. The levels of free phenols in the coconut roots were comparatively low in the root (wilt) affected palms compared to the apparently healthy palms. The levels of phenyl alanine ammonia lyase were also higher in the coconut palms cultivated in the root (wilt) affected palms compared to the palms cultivated in the disease free region. The results are suggestive of an accelarated phenol metabolism characteristic or root (wilt) disease. | en_US |
