Ganoderma orbiforme – most commonly known as G. boninense or just Ganoderma in oil palm pathology – is a species of

type locality, the fungus has also been collected from the Bonin Islands in the Pacific, and from Venezuela and Puerto Rico.[2]

Transmission

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 

Infection

G. orbiforme has a

necrotrophs.[5]

Genetics

Microsatellite markers have been developed to help identify the fungus and study the genetic diversity of G. orbiforme.[6]

Research

CABI provides research and technique information for lab work with this pathogen.[7]
