Abstract This study compared the pathogenicity of monokaryotic (monokaryon) and dikaryotic (dikaryon) mycelia oil palm pathogen Ganoderma boninense via metabolomics approach. Ethyl acetate crude extracts monokaryon dikaryon were analysed by liquid chromatography quadrupole/time-of-flight-mass spectrometry (LC-Q/TOF–MS) coupled with multivariate data analysis using MetaboAnalyst. The mummichog algorithm was also used to identify functional activities without a priori identification all their...

Ganoderma boninense causes basal stem rot (BSR) and is responsible for substantial economic losses to Southeast Asia’s palm oil industry. Sarawak, a major producer in Malaysia, also affected by this disease. Emergence of BSR planted on peat throughout Sarawak alarming as the soil type was previously regarded non-conducive. Phylogenetic analysis indicated single species, G. cause Sarawak. Information evolutionary demographic history inferred through informative genes lacking. Hence, haplotype...

Aims: Basal stem rot (BSR) disease caused by Ganoderma pathogenic fungi, especially boninense is thriving rapidly in both areas with coastal and inland soils.The objectives of this study were to isolate characterize isolates collected from various locations Peninsular Malaysia through the comparison their growth rate vitroly on conventional novel palm extract media, determine degree virulence oil seedlings.Methodology results: In study, 12 infected trees, -Johor, Negeri Sembilan, Kedah,...

The quality of germinated oil palm seeds directly affects the growth and yield industry. Therefore, strict filtering process is required before dispatching to market. Manual inspection individual laborious error-prone. We propose a high-throughput system that can accurately compute correspondences arbitrary number in multi-view images captured from unknown camera positions, subsequently predict using classification network. First, an object detection model fine-tuned detect each image. Then,...

In 1911 and 1917, the first commercial plantings of African oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) were made in Indonesia Malaysia Southeast Asia. less than 15 years, basal stem rot (BSR) was reported Malaysia. It took nearly another seven decades to identify main causal agent BSR as fungus, Ganoderma boninense. Since then, research efforts have focused on understanding G. boninense disease epidemiology, biology, etiology, but limited progress characterize pathogen genetic diversity, spatial...

Oil palm ( Elaeis guineensis ) germplasm is exclusively maintained as ex situ living collections in the field for genetic conservation and evaluation. However, this not long term maintenance of genebanks expensive challenging. Large area land required germplasms are exposed to extreme weather conditions casualty from pests diseases. By using 107 SSR markers, study aimed examine diversity relatedness 186 palms a Nigerian-based oil identify core collection conservation. On average, 8.67...

Basal stem rot incidence caused by a white-rot fungus, Ganoderma boninense, is the major disease of oil palm in Southeast Asia. The rate transmission and host damage are affected variations pathogen aggressiveness. Several other studies have used severity index (DSI) to determine G. boninense aggressiveness levels while verifying using culture-based method, which might not provide accurate results or be feasible all cases. To differentiate aggressiveness, we employed DSI vegetative growth...

Abstract Oil palm is a high value crop with an estimated 5% yearly replanting rate. To dispatch quality seeds, stringent culling upon the germinated seeds necessary. The shape of part oil seed key manual criterion for distinguishing good from bad ones. Accurate segmentation would serve as important preprocessing step automatic phenotypic analysis and classification seeds. In this paper, we pioneer study semantic by convolutional neural networks (CNNs). Leveraging state-of-the-art ‘SE-ResNext...

Ganoderma boninense, the causal agent of basal stem rot (BSR) disease, has been recognized as a major economic threat to commercial plantings oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) in Southeast Asia, which supplies 86% world's oil. High genetic diversity and gene flow among regional populations 417 G. boninense isolates collected from Sabah, Sarawak, Peninsular Malaysia (Malaysia) Sumatra (Indonesia) were demonstrated using 16 microsatellite loci. Three clusters different admixed across regions...
