Ganoderma orbiforme – most commonly known as G. boninense or just Ganoderma in oil palm pathology – is a species of polypore fungus that is widespread across southeast Asia. It is a plant pathogen that causes basal stem rot, a disease of the African oil palm (Elaeis guineensis). The fungus was first described scientifically in 1838 by Elias Magnus Fries from collections made in Guinea. [1] Leif Ryvarden transferred it to the genus Ganoderma in 2000. [2] In addition to its type locality, the fungus has also been collected from the Bonin Islands in the Pacific, and from Venezuela and Puerto Rico. [2]
G. orbiforme is not a soil borne pathogen, meaning it does not grow in soil and does not infiltrate from soil and into the root system. [3]: 417 It is however also not killed by soil, and will reside in dead, buried palm trunk material. [3]: 417 This has especially been observed when Oryctes rhinoceros-infested material was buried. [3]: 417
G. orbiforme has a hemibiotrophic lifestyle in E. guineensis. [4] During an invasion, E. guineensis roots stockpile salicylic acid, which is a signal to downregulate its own expression of ascorbate oxidase and ascorbate peroxidase. [5] AO and AP are reactive oxygen species scavengers, and so the total effect is to increase ROS production. [5] This entire pathway was found by Ho et al., 2016. [5] Increased ROS is effective against hemibiotrophs but counterproductive against necrotrophs. [5]
Microsatellite markers have been developed to help identify the fungus and study the genetic diversity of G. orbiforme. [6]
Water agar is usable for isolation of this fungus, and is the simplest and cheapest. [7]: 21 CABI provides research and technique information for lab work with this pathogen. [7]
