Item RECIPROCAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MAGNESIUM AND CERIUM AS A COMMON BASIS FOR COCONUT ROOT (WILT) AND A HUMAN CARDIOMYOPATHY(CURRENT SCIENCE, 1992) VALIATHAN, MS; EAPEN, JT; MATHEWS, CKThe leaves of coconut palms affected by root (wilt) in Kerala showed lower level of magnesium and higher concentration of cerium in significant contrast to control samples from palms in Manavalakurichi and Bombay.

A common geochemical basis for these two conditions warrants further study.Item THE LEVELS OF MAGNESIUM AND LANTHANIDES IN COCONUT ROOT (WILT)(CURRENT SCIENCE, 1993) VALIATHAN, MS; EAPEN, JT; MATHEWS, CK
