A study of the genetic diversity in coconut by RFLP analysis was performed in 100
individuals representing 10 Tall and seven Dwarf local populations or'ecotypes' from various …

The coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) is popularly known as a 'tree of life'because of its various
economic uses and importance in sustaining the life of the people who grow them. The stem …

Coconut palms of the Tall group were introduced to Brazil from the Cape Verde Islands in
1553. The present study sought to evaluate the genetic diversity among and within Brazilian …

Bud rot, caused by Phytophthora palmivora, is one of the major lethal diseases of the
coconut palm. It is a sporadic disease but can assume epidemic proportions occasionally …

Coconut palm is a multipurpose crop cultivated in tropics. Diversity in this crop is rich in
South Pacific Ocean and Indian Ocean Islands. Foliar traits have not been studied …

The palm family, consisting of over 2,500 species arrayed among ca. 200 genera, is the third
most economically important family of plants after the grasses and legumes. Three palm …

There is a need to identify genetic markers that can assist coconut (Cocos nucifera L.)
breeding programs. With that objective, electrophoretic patterns of leaf peroxidases …

The coconut palm (Cocos nucifera L.) has a range of genetic divergence, mainly in the
colour, shape and size of the finit. However, the current knowledge of such variability is …

The major hurdles for genetic improvement of coconut are attributed to its perennial nature,
long juvenile period and high heterozygosity, which make conventional coconut breeding …

The various coconut palm collections worldwide are veritable genepools from which
geneticists can tap to create or improve existing varieties. However, if a collection is to be …
