| description | A total of 5 Ganoderma isolates from oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) and
coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) hosts were used in the determination of Ganoderma
boninense based on monokaryotic mating compatibilities. Ganoderma specimens
collected from both oil palm and coconut hosts fell into 2 types; one was reddish
brown with a varnished dorsal surface ('laccate') represented by isolates EGB-01,
CN-Ll and CN-L2 and the other a dull brown non-varnished dorsal surface ('non
laccate') represented by EG-NL and CN-NL. The isolate WD814 identified as G.
boninense by the Forestry and Forest Products Research Institute (FFRRI) at
Tsukuba, Japan, was included as an outgroup sample.
The present study showed that based on sexual compatibilities of
monosporus cultures obtained from a single fruitbody, the mating pattern of G. boninense was heterothallic and tetrapolar. The cultures fell into 4 distinct sex
groups from which 4 monokaryon testers were successfully obtained. When tested
for intergroup compatibilities, isolates CN-Ll and WD814 were compatible with
EGB-Ol, whereas CN-L2, EG-NL and CN-NL were not. Thus. monokaryon
compatibility crosses confirmed that although EGB-01, CN-L 1 and WD814 were
from oil palm, coconut and Livistona palm hosts respectively, they all belonged to
the same biological species.
The pathogenic potential of isolates from oil palm and coconut hosts were
tested on oil palm seedlings over a 12-month period in glasshouse trials. Only EGB-
01 and CN-Ll isolates were found to be pathogenic on oil palm seedlings, with both
showing 100% infection. Totally no infection was established in palms inoculated
with the non-G. boninense isolates EG-NL, CN-NL and CN-L2. When infected
seedlings were uprooted, the point of entry of G. boninenese was found to be the
larger primary root of the plant. A scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a newly
infected root showed that the fungi colonised the epidermis, cortex, endodermis,
lacunae, as well as plugged the xylem and phloem tissues. This indicates that fungal
colonisation was not restricted to any particular tissue. This study concluded firstly,
more than one species of laccate Ganoderma can be found on coconut stumps.
Secondly, G. boninense isolated from oil palm and coconut stumps were pathogenic
on oil palms. Thirdly, the non G. boninense specimens (EG-NL, CN-NL and CNL2)
were not pathogenic to oil palms. |
