Coconut lethal yellowing diseases: a phytoplasma threat to palms of global economic and social significance [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016 The recent discovery of Bogia Coconut Syndrome in Papua New Guinea is the first report of a lethal yellowing disease (LYD) in Oceania. Numerous outbreaks of LYDs of coconut have been recorded in the Caribbean and Africa since the late 19th century and ...

Phormium Yellow Leaf Phytoplasma Is Associated with Strawberry Lethal Yellows Disease in New Zealand [PDF]
Plant Disease, 1998 A yellows disease of strawberry plants was identified in propagation beds in New Zealand. Affected plants were flatter to the ground, showed purpling of older leaves, reduced leaf size, yellowing of younger leaves, and sometimes plant death. A phytoplasma was observed in the phloem of affected plants. The 16S rRNA gene of the phytoplasma was amplified

Review of Coconut “Lethal Yellowing” type diseases Diversity, variability and diagnosis [PDF]
Oléagineux, Corps gras, Lipides, 2009 Coconut palms (Cocos nucifera L.) can be affected by several types of Lethal Yellowing (LY) diseases worldwide. Some of the syndromes are caused by phytoplasmas, small bacteria that are impossible to detect by light microscopy. Amplification of a given gene of the phytoplasmas by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is the most convenient diagnosis method ...

New data on a cultural control method against coconut lethal yellowing in Ghana
CORD, 2004 Lethal yellowing disease has been rife in West Africa, especially Ghana, since 1932. In the 1990s, the first operations to fell diseased coconut palms at an early stage showed that this substantially slowed down the spread of the disease.

First Report of Lethal Yellowing Disease of Coconut Palms Caused by Phytoplasma on Nevis Island [PDF]
Plant Disease, 2006 Coconuts (Cocos nucifera) are an important small-holder's crop in many tropical countries and are used to enhance esthetics of coastal areas. Lethal yellowing (LY) is the single most important plant disease affecting the coconut industry in Jamaica. It affects many palm species in Jamaica, Florida, and Guatemala.
