ABSTRACT Ganoderma zonatum is a lethal pathogen of palms (Arecaceae) in Florida (USA) because it degrades the wood of the lowest section of the palm trunk. This fungus is widespread throughout Florida, where it has been observed on over 60 species of palms. The authors examined the genetic variability of 25 isolates of G. zonatum obtained in Florida from 12 different palm species and representing 17 unique property locations in eight counties to determine if G. zonatum represents a species…

Ganoderma zonatum Is the Causal Agent of Basal Stem Rot in Oil Palm in Colombia
Basal stem rot (BSR), caused by Ganoderma spp., is one of the most important emerging oil palm diseases in Colombia, and is restricted to two oil palm production areas in the country. To identify the…
Elucidating "lucidum": Distinguishing the diverse laccate Ganoderma species of the United States
TLDR
This study clarifies the chaotic taxonomy of the laccate Ganoderma in the United States, and will help to remove ambiguities from future studies focusing on the North American species of laccates.
Genetic (non)-homogeneity of the bracket fungi of the genus Ganoderma (Basidiomycota) in Central Europe
During systematic surveys of urban, rural and forest areas in Slovakia and Moravia (Czech Republic) and occasional botanical excursions in Northern Hungary, seventy-five collections of Ganoderma spp.…
Genetic Diversity and Demographic History of Ganoderma boninense in Oil Palm Plantations of Sarawak, Malaysia Inferred from ITS Regions
TLDR
Haplotype network analysis suggested evidence of recent demographic expansion for G. boninense in Sarawak, and low genetic differences among populations suggested that these isolates belong to a single G.boninense founder population adapting to oil palm as the host.
Transcriptional profile of oil palm pathogen, Ganoderma boninense, reveals activation of lignin degradation machinery and possible evasion of host immune response
TLDR
An overview of the dynamic processes at play in G. boninense - oil palm interaction is offered and a framework to investigate biology of Ganoderma fungi across plantations and landscape is provided.
Artificial Cultivation Anti-tumor Activity of Ganoderma mbrekobenum
TLDR
The in vitro experiments showed that the extract from G. mbrekobenum fruit body inhibited cancer cell proliferation of various cells, such as HepG2, MDA-MB-231 and U87, and was a potential valuable variety.

Genetic and morphological diversity of Ganoderma species isolated from infected oil palms (Elaeis guineensis).
TLDR
G. zonatum was the dominant species and may have played a more vital role in the epidemiology of the disease than previously believed, and Ganoderma species in the oil palm plantation was genetically heterogeneous based on somatic compatibility test.
Genetic diversity of Ganoderma in oil palm plantings
TLDR
The combination of mtDNA variability and somatic incompatibility suggests that Ganoderma BSR does not spread by direct root-to-root contact between palms, and results may indicate infection spread through basidiospore dispersal or through contact with a heterogeneous long-term residual inoculum in debris.
Global diversity of the Ganoderma lucidum complex (Ganodermataceae, Polyporales) inferred from morphology and multilocus phylogeny.
Ganoderma species associated with basal stem rot disease of oil palm
TLDR
Three Ganoderma species viz., G. boninense, G. zonatum and G. miniatocinctum are associated with the basal stem rot disease in Sarawak, leading to reduced palm deaths and disease control cost, thus, reducing losses in the oil palm industry.
rDNA analyses as an aid to the taxonomy of species of Ganoderma
TLDR
Whether morphologically defined groups could be discriminated by molecular markers and to examine ITS sequence variation was determined, and agreement between groupings delimited by restriction patterns, SSCP of ITS I and ITS II was evident.
Molecular evidence for long distance dispersal across the Southern Hemisphere in the Ganoderma applanatum-australe species complex (Basidiomycota).
Systematics of Ganoderma.
TLDR
Four new genera, subgenera and sections were created on the basis of basidiospore shape, type of pilear crust or characteristics of the context tissue in the Ganodermataceae, but many of these groups remain controversial.
Ganoderma disease of oil palm—A white rot perspective necessary for integrated control
Mating Compatibility and Restriction Analysis of Ganoderma Isolates from Oil Palm and Other Palm Hosts.
TLDR
A diverse group of Ganoderma species from oil palm and other palm hosts are closely related, except for G. tornatum and GanoderMA isolates from tea and rubber.
Basidiospores: their influence on our thinking regarding a control strategy for basal stem rot of oil palm.
TLDR
The role of coconut in the epidemiology of BSR can be explained by research over the past few years, which suggests that G. boninense, apart from coconut, is not a significant factor in BSR.
