Cadmium Contamination in Orchard Soils and Fruit Trees and Its Potential Health Risk in Guangzhou, China
ARTICLE IN PRESS + MODEL http://www.paper.edu.cn Environmental Pollution xx (2005) 1e7 Cadmium contamination in orchard soils and fruit trees and its potential health risk in Guangzhou, China J.T. Li a, J.W. Qiu b, X.W. Wang a, Y. Zhong a, C.Y. Lan a,*, W.S. Shu a,* a School of Life Sciences and State Key Laboratory of Biocontrol, Sun Yat-sen (Zhongshan) University, Guangzhou 510275, PR China b Department of Biology, Hong Kong Baptist University, Kowloon, Hong Kong, PR China Received 6 August 2005; received in revised form 19 September 2005; accepted 14 October 2005 Carambola fruit can accumulate high levels of cadmium and may be a health risk for humans. Abstract This study examines cadmium (Cd) contamination in orchard soils and fruit trees in Guangzhou, China, and assesses its potential health risk. Soils and tissues samples of three species of fruit trees were collected from three orchards. The average soil Cd concentration was 1.27, 1.84 and 0.68 mg/kg in orchards I, II, and III, respectively. The carambola (Averrhoa carambola) accumulated exceptionally high concentrations of Cd (7.57, 10.84, 9.01 and 2.15 mg/kg dw in root, twig, leaf and fruit, respectively), being 6.0e24 times and 4.0e10 times the corresponding tissue Cd in the longan (Dimocarpus longan) and wampee (Clausena lansium), respectively. Furthermore, all Cd concentrations (0.04e0.25 mg Cd/kg fw) of the fruits exceeded the tolerance limit of cadmium in foods of PR China (0.03 mg/kg fw). Our results indicate that the carambola tree has high Cd accumulation capacity and might be a Cd accumulator; and its fruit, among the three species of fruits studied, also poses the highest potential health risk to local residents. -
A Refugium for Scaevola Plumieri, a Highly Threatened Rare Plant in Sri Lanka
Cey. J. Sci. (Bio. Sci.) Vol 34, 2005, 21-25 21 A REFUGIUM FOR SCAEVOLA PLUMIERI, A HIGHLY THREATENED RARE PLANT IN SRI LANKA A.H.Magdon Jayasuriya Environment & Management Lanka, 68 Davidson Road, Colombo 4, Sri Lanka ABSTRACT Scaevola plumieri ( “Hin-takkada”), a surface-creeping shrub among strand vegetation, is extremely rare and “highly threatened” having been previously recorded from no more than six locations in Sri Lanka, mostly during the 19th century. The species is presumed to be extinct in its 19th century localities on the west and east coasts due to loss of habitat, and in its 20th century localities on the east coast due to the recent Tsunami disaster. The Puttalam lagoon shore within the Wilpattu National Park, where this plant was recently located, will therefore be a refugium for this species. Incidentally, this is also the first time that this plant was observed on a lagoon-shore habitat in Sri Lanka, instead of its usual sea shore habitat. This indicates the high conservation value of the Wilpattu beach front of the Kala Oya Lower Basin which also harbours one of the last remaining pristine stretches of mangroves in Sri Lanka, which should be noted by the Department of Wildlife Conservation in park planning and management. INTRODUCTION Scaevola plumieri (L.) Vahl belongs to the activities in coastal zones, “ Hin-takkada” populations have presumably disappeared from the family Goodeniaceae and its local name is th (“Hin-takkada”). It is a surface-creeping above localities. The specimens recorded in the 20 (prostate) shrub with rounded and leathery century were gathered between 1969 – 1974 only (coriaceaous) leaves not exceeding 8 cm in from two localities on the lower east coast, namely length, while the fruit (drupe) is red when ripe. -
Mapping Resistance to Stem Rust, Stripe Rust, and Powdery Mildew, and Genotype Screening of Breeding Germplasm for Disease Resistance
ABSTRACT VANGESSEL, CARL JOSEPH. Disease Resistance in Winter Wheat: Mapping Resistance to Stem Rust, Stripe Rust, and Powdery Mildew, and Genotype Screening of Breeding Germplasm for Disease Resistance. (Under the direction of Dr. David Marshall). Wheat production worldwide faces many challenges including fungal pathogens which can reduce growth, nutrient content, and yield. As the global population continues to increase, it is important to maximize production of wheat which provides a significant proportion of the human diet. Wheat breeders and pathologists are addressing the pathogen threat to wheat by breeding cultivars with improved resistance. However, as pathogen populations mutate and overcome resistance, it is important to identify sources of resistance to new pathogen races and understand the genetics of resistance in commercial cultivars. Stem rust (Puccinia graminis), stripe rust (Puccinia striiformis), and powdery mildew (Blumeria graminis) are among the most common and aggressive pathogens of wheat occurring worldwide. The stem rust resistance gene Sr31 was reliably effective until being overcome in 1999 by the race Ug99. This new race of stem rust has since evolved to include 12 related races and are potentially virulent to a majority of commercially produced wheat globally. The soft red winter wheat (SRWW) line, MD01W28- 08-11, was identified as having adult plant resistance (APR) to Ug99 in Njoro, Kenya. This line was crossed with the susceptible SRWW cultivar Coker 9553 and the subsequent 279 doubled haploid (DH) population used for linkage mapping analysis to better characterize the source of stem rust APR. A linkage map with 3,159 SNPs was produced that identified a significant quantitative trait loci (QTL) on the short arm of chromosome 6D and two QTL on the long arms of chromosomes 2B and 4B. -

E-mail: [email protected]. Accepted 6th July, 2018 Abstract. Stem rust caused by Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici (Pgt) is one of the most important diseases of wheat in Ethiopia. The stem rust pathogen is capable to rapidly develop new virulence to resistance genes owing to mutation and genetic recombination. Ethiopian highlands are known hot spots for the rapid evolution and spread of new rust races. The present study was conducted to investigate the virulence diversity and spatial distribution of races of Pgt in the major wheat growing areas of Ethiopia. The physiologic races of the rust fungus were determined on seedlings of the standard wheat stem rust differentials following the international system of nomenclature. Three hundred and forty- seven samples were analyzed in 2014 and 2015 cropping seasons from Oromia, Amhara, Tigray and Southern Nations and Nationalities Peoples’ regions. -

Needless to say I was overjoyed to find Bob Jago unfolding his tea table for a pre walk cuppa. We were soon joined by Coralie Stuart and Anne Mohun. Anne and I had both come from a Treeforce planting event that morning, so we felt very intrepid to make the extra mission to a SGAP event all afternoon. In no time at all we four were huddled under a small interpretive shelter chatting, and playing "how many trees can Bob name while sitting down over smoko". The rain abated, and we were off. At the carpark I was interested in a striking prodigious orange fig with an attractive leaf and undulate leaf margin. Bob informed me this was the Ficus virgata, var. virgata . Trip trapping over the bridge, we saw the incredibly dainty Maesa haplobotrys , displaying fruit and flowers at all stages. Very attractive. The waters below were speckled with bright Syzygium luehmannii fruit. Up the hill, and water was playing across the path. Bob demonstrated the Rhodamnia spongiosa , with its incredibly pronounced three veined leaf. Myrtaceae are not particularly known for their three veined leaf structure, and I mused about whether many of the FNQ Lauraceae displayed this structural diagnostic. -

Averrhoa bilimbi 2 Averrhoa bilimbi (commonly known as bilimbi, cucumber tree, or tree sorrel) is a fruit-bearing tree of the genus Averrhoa, family Oxalidaceae. It is a close relative of the carambola. Nomenclature The tree and fruit are known by different names in different languages.[1] They should not be confused with the carambola, which also share some of the same names despite being very different fruits. Balimbing in the Philippines actually refer to carambola and not bilimbi (which they call iba in Cebuano and kamias in Tagalog).

The rapid diet transition in the region is leading to a high prevalence of non-communicable diseases. The aim of this exploratory study was to document traditional foods and beverages and associated traditional knowledge that have potential positive health impacts, from selected countries in the region. The study also focused on identifying their importance in the prevention and management of lifestyle-related diseases and nutritional deficiencies as well as for the improvement of the overall health and wellbeing. This was conducted in selected locations in Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia and Nepal through a qualitative method with a pre-tested documentation format. Through a detailed documentation of their health benefits, the study tries to highlight the significance of traditional foods in public health as well as their relevance to local market economies towards sustainable production and consumption and sustainable community livelihoods. Keywords: Traditional foods, Ethnic recipes, Asian health food traditions, Cultural dietary diversity, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia and Nepal Introduction Due to the dynamic adaptations to local biocultural con- Asia represents vast geographic, socioeconomic, bio- texts and refinement over generations through empirical logical, and cultural diversity. This is also reflected in the observations, they assume to have positive health impacts dietary diversity of traditional foods.
