Abstrakt: Ganoderma sp., the fungal agent causing basal stem rot (BSR), poses a severe threat to global oil palm production. Alarming increases in BSR occurrences within oil palm growing zones are attributed to varying effectiveness in its current management strategies. Asymptomatic progression of the disease and the continuous monoculture of oil palm pose challenges for prompt and effective management. Therefore, the development of precise, early, and timely detection techniques is crucial for successful BSR management. Conventional methods such as visual assessments, culture-based assays, and biochemical and physiological approaches prove time-consuming and lack specificity. Serological-based diagnostic methods, unsuitable for fungal diagnostics due to low sensitivity, assay affinity, cross-contamination which further underscores the need for improved techniques. Molecular PCR-based assays, utilizing universal, genus-specific, and species-specific primers, along with functional primers, can overcome the limitations of conventional and serological methods in fungal diagnostics. Recent advancements, including real-time PCR, biosensors, and isothermal amplification methods, facilitate accurate, specific, and sensitive Ganoderma detection. Comparative whole genomic analysis enables high-resolution discrimination of Ganoderma at the strain level. Additionally, omics tools such as transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics can identify potential biomarkers for early detection of Ganoderma infection. Innovative on-field diagnostic techniques, including remote methods like volatile organic compounds profiling, tomography, hyperspectral and multispectral imaging, terrestrial laser scanning, and Red-Green-Blue cameras, contribute to a comprehensive diagnostic approach. Ultimately, the development of point-of-care, early, and cost-effective diagnostic techniques accessible to farmers is vital for the timely management of BSR in oil palm plantations.
