Towards Phytopathogen Diagnostics? Coconut Bud Rot Pathogen Mycelial Proteome Analysis Informs Genome Annotation.

Planetary agriculture stands to benefit immensely from phytopathogen diagnostics, which would enable early detection of pathogens with harmful effects on crops. For example, is one of the most destructive phytopathogens affecting many economically important tropical crops such as coconut. causes diseases in over 200 host plants, and notably, the bud rot disease in coconut and oil palm, which is often lethal because it is usually detected at advanced stages of infection.
