Kikin H. M., . and Agus E. P., . (2011) Detection of phytoplasma DNA from oil palm and coconut seedling in Indonesia. [Proceedings Paper]
Abstract
The project as preliminary research was carried out to investigate the possibility of phytoplasma infection of oil palm in Indonesia. Nested PCR with primer pairs P1/P7 and RI6R2n/R16R2 have been used to detect phytoplasma DNA in the inflorescences and fruits of coconut palm infected with coconut will disease and also oil palm seed imported from Costa Rica and Papua higher germination rates than those from healthy palms indicating that infected fruits retain the ability to germinate while oil palm seed had no different in germination rates among genetic material. However no phytoplasma was detected in oil palm seeds so there are no evidence that these pathogens are transmitted to cause disease in progeny palms. But presence of phytoplasma DNA in some coconut seedlings suggests the possible or potential for seed transmission which remains to be demonstrated.
