Diversity of Macrofungi in Oil Palm (Elaeis guineensis jacq.) Plantation in Southern Thailand

Abstract

The objective of this study was to determine the diversity of macrofungi in oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) plantation habitats. The diversity of macrofungi was divided into 5 parts; vein, mid-rib and rachis of the oil palm frond litter, other plant litter and on the soil. The study was conducted in Thung Yai District, Nakhon Si Thammarat Province and Huai Yot District, Trang Province, in the southern region of Thailand in 2014 - 2015. In total 111 taxa were identified, comprising 10 ascomycota and 101 basidiomycota. The most abundant species were Marasmius (15 species), followed by Xylaria (6 species), Marasmiellus (5 species) and Termitomyces (5 species). Fifty-eight taxa were found on the oil palm rachis litter, 52 taxa from the soil, 19 taxa from the oil palm mid-rib litter, 10 taxa from other plant litter and 4 taxa from the oil palm vein litter.

Wollastonite to hinder growth of Aspergillus niger fungus on cotton textile

“…This puts precious materials made from cellulosic materials at great risk of contamination and disintegration (Grace et al 2017, Tanny et al 2017, Tupciauskas et al 2017. Many biological materials are vulnerable to ordinary fungi, being deteriorated by them (Seephueak et al 2018). Cellulose and lignocellulose materials are amongst the materials that can be degraded by different fungi (Schmidt 2006, 2007, Abdel-Kareem 2010a, b, Maresi et al 2013.…”

Changes in landscape ecology between nature reserve and palm oil plantation in West Java, Indonesia based on the observations of macrofungal population

“…The highest dominance index value was owned by PTPN 2003, followed by PTPN 2004, and finally CADI. This high dominance index value was shown by Schizophyllum commune, which was found to be abundant compared to other species and is a macrofungal species commonly found in the oil palm plantation area (Seephueak et al 2017;Shuhada et al 2017). The macrofungal abundance in CADI was 1510 samples and 360 of them consisted of S. commune (23.84%), while the proportion in PTPN 2003 andPTPN 2004 was much higher (79.71% and63.28% respectively).…”

Endophytic Fungi in Rice Plants and Their Prospective Uses

“…Also, the highest number of endophytic fungi was detected in rice seeds, followed by leaves, roots, and stems [38]. Seephueak et al found that the diversity of endophytic fungi was highest during the peak tillering stage of rice plant's growth and development [48]. Other studies have shown that the number of endophytic fungi in the roots of first-generation rice plants acquired by crossing wild rice with cultivated rice was more than that of their parents [49].…”

“…Endophytic fungi were found in rice roots, stems, leaves, and grains through a culture-dependent method, mainly concentrated in more than 60 genera. Penicillium, Aspergillus, and Fusarium are the most common fungi in rice plants [10,[31][32][33]38,40,43,44,48,[50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57], which can be visualized in Figure 2. Herein, we conducted statistical analysis on the percent of identified isolates through a culture-dependent method from the literature and found that they are mainly distributed in five phyla using the Origin 2021 software, namely Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, Mucoromycota, Oomycota, and Zoopagomycota, with Ascomycota being the main group (Figure 3).…”
