N.  aSmall circular single-stranded DNA associated with foliar decay disease of coconut palm in Vanuatu.  c1987  aThe single-stranded DNA previously reported to be associated with foliar decay disease of coconut palm appears to be predominantly circular, on the basis of its behaviour in two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, electron microscopy, and its resistance to end-labelling following treatment with alkaline phosphatase and polynucleotide kinase. The DNA sedimental at between 12S and 15S and had a contour length for the circular molecules consistent with the predominant DNA having a molecular weight of about 0.43 x 10,  and comprising approximately 1300 nucleotides. These properties differ from the genomic DNAs known plant viruses.  aVanuatu  aviruses  aCocos Nucifera  aEletroforese  aFosfatase Alcalina  aVírus  aCoconut diseases  aCoqueiro  aDoencas  aFoliar decay1 aHANOLD, D.1 aJULIA, J.
