The lethal disease of coconut in Ghana : developing markers and pathogen quantification techniques for the breeding of resistant or tolerant varieties

Lethal diseases (LD) of coconut caused by phytoplasmas have destroyed millions of palms globally and pose a serious threat to the coconut industry in Ghana. This study investigated the genetic basis of resistance/tolerance of coconut varieties and hybrids to LD. The study was also aimed at developin...
