Reference-aided full-length transcript assembly, cDNA cloning, and molecular characterization of coronatine-insensitive 1b (COI1b) gene in coconut (Cocos nucifera L.).

This study provided the groundwork for further research on the actual role of COI1 in coconut in response to insect damage. The findings of this study are also vital to facilitate the development of improved insect-resistant coconut varieties for vibrant coconut industry.
