Ganoderma orbiforme – most commonly known as G. boninense or just Ganoderma in oil palm pathology – is a species of polypore fungus that is widespread across southeast Asia. It is a plant pathogen that causes basal stem rot, a disease of the African oil palm (Elaeis guineensis). The fungus was first described scientifically in 1838 by Elias Magnus Fries from collections made in Guinea.cite-ref-fries-1838-1-0[1] Leif Ryvarden transferred it to the genus Ganoderma in 2000.cite-ref-ryvarden-2000-2-0[2] In addition to its type locality, the fungus has also been collected from the Bonin Islands in the Pacific, and from Venezuela and Puerto Rico.cite-ref-ryvarden-2000-2-1[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.cite-ref-corley-tinker-2015-3-0[3] It is however also not killed by soil, and will reside in dead, buried palm trunk material.cite-ref-corley-tinker-2015-3-1[3] This has especially been observed when Oryctes rhinoceros-infested material was buried.cite-ref-corley-tinker-2015-3-2[3]
Infection
G. orbiforme has a hemibiotrophic lifestyle in E. guineensis.cite-ref-bahari-et-al-2018-4-0[4] During an invasion, E. guineensis roots stockpile salicylic acid, which is a signal to downregulate its own expression of ascorbate oxidase and ascorbate peroxidase.cite-ref-singh-et-al-2021-5-0[5] AO and AP are reactive oxygen species scavengers, and so the total effect is to increase ROS production.cite-ref-singh-et-al-2021-5-1[5] This entire pathway was found by Ho et al., 2016.cite-ref-singh-et-al-2021-5-2[5] Increased ROS is effective against hemibiotrophs but counterproductive against necrotrophs.cite-ref-singh-et-al-2021-5-3[5]
Genetics
Microsatellite markers have been developed to help identify the fungus and study the genetic diversity of G. orbiforme.cite-ref-merci-re-2015-6-0[6]
