Abstract
Oil palm seed industries offer good prospects in the global market and have been expanded in countries like Malaysia. Market competition makes it difficult to reach export quota due to diseased infection. Brown germ and seed rot symptoms commonly found in oil palm seeds frequently caused losses in germination and quality. The outbreak of the fungus during seed processing caused losses in germination and rotting of seeds. Early stage of seed infection occurs in the field during harvesting. S. commune was recognized as a decay fungus with characteristic white colony on agar plates mycelium with clamp-connections spinulose projections papery leathery compact mycelia often producing fruiting bodies with white cap and diameter of less than 1-2 cm. The fan shaped fruiting body can distinguish S. commune from other basidiomycetes associated with oil palm seeds. Spores produced from fruiting body are hyline in color cylindrical and smooth. Histological studies showed that the mycelia penetrated into the seed through germ pores and reached the endosperm. Pathogenecity tests indicated that the fungus caused failure of seed germination by the formation of compact mycelia that blocked the germ pores of oil palm seeds.
