Abstract
The possibility that infection of some palms of resistant clone UF28 w as due to increased pathogen virulence or aggressiveness was studied. Fungal isolates from severely infected palms of this clone caused no g reater frequency or severity of disease than a standard isolate from t he same region. The significance of these results to expression of and selection for disease resistance in palms is discussed.
