Abstract

Electron micrographs of thin sections of coconut palm leaves from Kerala root will diseased trees revealed the presence of (wo types of submicroscopical particles. One type was the commonly encountered phytoferrilin which forms characteristic accumulations in diseased leaves. The other represented virus-like particles. Further studies might reveal whether the virus-like particles are constantly associated with the Kerala root wilt disease.
