A preliminary study to identify and distinguish southern tropical populations of Ganoderma boninense from oil palm via mating assays, sequence data, and microsatellite markers

Abstract excerpt

Morphological studies suggest that the major pathogen causing basal stem rot of oil palm in Papua New Guinea and Solomon Islands is Ganoderma boninense. This study presents the first evidence for conspecificity of G. boninense from four countries where basal stem rot is prevalent. Seventy-three dikaryotic isolates of Ganoderma boninense from Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, and Solomon Islands were studied...
