The pandemic has made essential self distancing and quarantining to arrest the spread of the Corona virus. As a result, most APS activities have been shelved for the time being. Being in isolation at home has been a mixed blessing.

Henry 2 Corymbia citriodora is a member of the predominantly Southern Hemisphere Myrtaceae family, which includes the eucalypts (Eucalyptus, Corymbia and Angophora; ~800 species). 1234567890():,; Corymbia is grown for timber, pulp and paper, and essential oils in Australia, South Africa, Asia, and Brazil, maintaining a high-growth rate under marginal conditions due to drought, poor-quality soil, and biotic stresses. To dissect the genetic basis of these desirable traits, we sequenced and assembled the 408 Mb genome of Corymbia citriodora, anchored into eleven chromosomes. Comparative analysis with Eucalyptus grandis reveals high synteny, although the two diverged approximately 60 million years ago and have different genome sizes (408 vs 641 Mb), with few large intra-chromosomal rearrangements.

The essential oils of 10 species were extracted by hydrodistillation and analyzed by a gas chromatography-flame ionization detector (GC-FID) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The main component of Eucalyptus crebra, E. microtheca, E. rudis and Melaleuca quinquenervia essential oils was 1,8-cineole (31.6-49.7%). E. melanophloia and E. tereticornis contained p-cymene (41.8-58.1%) as a major component, while Eucalyptus kitsoniana and E. pruinosa essential oils were dominated by α-pinene (25.8-31.4%). Eugenol methyl ether was identified as a major component in M. bracteata essential oil (82.3%). α-Pinene (31.4%) was the main component in the C. viminalis essential oil. Essential oils of all selected plant species showed good insecticidal activities against T.

  • Stormwater Connections to Natural Waterways Rouse Hill Development Area
    Stormwater connections to natural waterways Rouse Hill Development Area Overview What This guide explains what you need to do when building a stormwater connection into Sydney Water’s natural open channel waterways in the Rouse Hill Development Area (RHDA). We allow stormwater connections that ensure: stable transition from a constructed drainage system to the natural waterway sustainable water quality management restoration of vegetation following construction. Who This guide applies to owners and developers proposing to build a stormwater pipe connecting to a waterway owned or managed by Sydney Water in the RHDA. This applies to connection proposals for residential, commercial, industrial and other government agencies (e.g. Roads and Maritime Services) developments. Why Construction of stormwater connections to natural waterways affects the waterway and the riparian corridor. This guide ensures that owners and developers design and construct stormwater connections to a safe and sustainable standard by: minimising the number of uncontrolled stormwater discharges ensuring new stormwater connections cause minimal environmental impact to the waterway and its water quality restoring and maintaining disturbed waterfront and riparian vegetation following construction activities.

Photo: Prof. Chen Hualin, CC BY-SA 4.0, zh.wikipedia.org Kauris (Agathis sp.) are conifers Conifers, along with the other Gymnosperms (Cycads and Ginkgoes), first appeared about 300 Ma (Million years ago) at the end of the Carboniferous when the world’s coal deposits were being laid down with the remains of the spore-producing trees of that period. The early conifers looked like modern Araucaria. These trees spread throughout the world and displaced their predecessors. The age of the seed plants had arrived. The conifers are a hardy lot. They survived the largest mass extinction the earth has known, 252 Ma, at the end of the Permian Period. But more challenges lay ahead. Sometime in the next 50 Myr (Million years) one of Gymnosperms gave rise to the flowering plants, the Angiosperms. By 100 Ma, in the Cretaceous period, Angiosperms were widespread. And so the battle began - and still continues to this day. The flowering plants have many features that make them more successful in many environments, so their take-over of many habitats was complete by about 65 Ma at the end of the age of the dinosaurs. But in the world’s harsh environments the conifers continue to not just survive, but flourish.
