1999 APS / CPS Joint Annual Meeting
August 7-11, 1999
Palais des Congrès de Montréal
Montréal, Quebec, Canada

Investigations into coconut diseases of uncertain aetiology.
P. Jones (1), C. P. R. Cronjé (2), and J. S. Warokka (3).
(1) IACR Rothamsted, Harpenden, Herts., AL5 2JQ, UK; (2) Pathology Division, SASEX, PB X02, Mt. Edgecombe, KwaZulu Natal, South Africa; (3) Research Institute for Coconut and Palmae, Manado, Indonesia.
Phytopathology 89:S37. Publication no. P-1999-0262-AMA.
For most of the 20th Century there have been sporadic outbreaks of lethal diseases in coconuts grown in South East Asia. In Indonesia Natuna wilt and Kalimantan wilt are two such diseases. Phytoplasmas cause some of the most devastating diseases of coconuts in the Americas and Africa and we have compared symptoms and used DNA amplification to determine if either of these diseases is associated with a phytoplasma. Amplification of the 16S-23S rRNA genes by a nested-PCR gave products of 1250 bp in size. The restriction fragment length polymorphism of these amplimers suggested that at least one type of phytoplasma was present in coconut palms in Indonesia. Sequencing of the 16S-23S rDNA intergenic spacer region revealed a single copy of the characteristic t-isoleucine gene in all samples, confirming the phytoplasma status of the amplified sequences. Our discovery that phytoplasmas are active in coconut disease epidemics in Indonesia has implications for the sustainability of coconut farming systems in the region.
