Root lignin composition and content in oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) genotypes with different defense responses to Ganoderma boninense

Basal stem rot of oil palms (OPs) is caused by Ganoderma boninense, a white-rot fungus. Root tissues are the primary route for G. boninense penetration and subsequent pathogenesis on OPs. Little is known on the host lignin biochemistry and selectivity for G. boninense degradation. Oil palm genotypes...
