Characterization of incompatible and compatible Camellia-Ciborinia camelliae plant-pathogen interactions A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Plant Biology at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand Matthew Denton-Giles 2014 Abstract Many Camellia species and cultivars are susceptible to infection by the host-specific fungal phytopathogen Ciborinia camelliae L. M. Kohn (Sclerotiniaceae). This necrotrophic pathogen specifically infects floral tissue resulting in rapid development of host-cell death and premature flower fall. C. camelliae is considered to be the causal agent of ‘Camellia flower blight’ and is an economically significant pest of both the Camellia floriculture and Camellia oil seed industries. This study sought to identify molecular components that contribute to incompatible and compatible interactions between C. camelliae and Camellia petal tissue. Microscopic analyses of incompatible C. camelliae-Camellia lutchuensis interactions revealed several hallmarks of induced plant resistance, including papillae formation, H2O2 accumulation, and localized cell death. Extension of resistance analyses to an additional 39 Camellia spp. identified variable levels of resistance within the Camellia genus, with Camellia lutchuensis, Camellia transnokoensis and Camellia yuhsienensis exhibiting the strongest resistance phenotypes. Collectively, Camellia species of section Theopsis showed the highest levels of incompatibility. Based on this observation, a total of 18 Camellia interspecific hybrids with section Theopsis species in their parentage were tested for resistance to C. -

LC Paper No. CB(1)648/19-20(05)
LC Paper No. CB(1)648/19-20(05) For discussion on 26 May 2020 Legislative Council Panel on Development Management of Typhoon Season Flood Risk Purpose This paper aims to brief Members on the flood risk in Hong Kong in the typhoon season1 and the corresponding management measures being taken by the Government. Flood Risk in Hong Kong 2. During the typhoon season, Hong Kong is from time to time threatened by inclement weather such as prolonged heavy rains and typhoons. The average annual rainfall is about 2 400 millimetres (mm), making Hong Kong one of the highest rainfall cities in the Pacific Rim2. Over the past five years, on yearly-average there are over 20 rainstorms which warrant the issuance of the rainstorm warning signal 3 , and six tropical cyclones, including the super typhoons Hato (2017) and Mangkhut (2018). 3. For the weather outlook this year, the Hong Kong Observatory (HKO) forecasted in March 2020 that there would be four to seven tropical cyclones coming within 500 kilometres (km) of Hong Kong this year, more or less the same as the figures of previous years. HKO expected that the annual rainfall would be normal to below normal, but the territory may still be affected by heavy rains. 1 In general, May to November of every year is the typhoon season of Hong Kong. 2 The Pacific Rim is a general term for the surrounding countries including islands in the Pacific region. 3 HKO’s rainstorm warning system is for alerting the public about the soon occurrence of heavy rain and to ensure a state of readiness for performing emergency duties any moment within the organisations and departments providing emergency services. -

10 Water Quality Impact 10-1
MTR Corporation Ltd. SCL- NEX/2206 EIA Study for Tai Wai to Hung Hom Section Final Environmental Impact Assessment Report 10 Water Quality Impact 10.1 Introduction This chapter presents the assessment of potential water quality impacts, which may arise during the construction and operation of the SCL - Tai Wai to Hung Hom Section. Construction runoff, sediment dredging, sewage from site workforce, drainage diversion are potential water pollution sources during the construction phase. Operational water quality impact includes track run-off and tunnel seepage. Mitigation measures have been proposed to alleviate the potential water quality impact. Adverse residual impacts during the construction and operational phases are not anticipated. 10.2 Legislation, Standards and Guidelines The relevant legislation and associated guidance applicable to the present study for the assessment of water quality impacts include: • Water Pollution Control Ordinance (WPCO) CAP 358, Water Quality Objectives (WQOs) for the Tolo Harbour and Channel Water Control Zone (THCWCZ) and Victoria Harbour Water Control Zone (VHWCZ); • Technical Memorandum for Effluents Discharged into Drainage and Sewerage Systems Inland and Coastal Waters (TM-Water), Effluents discharge limits for the Tolo Harbour Water Control Zone and Victoria Harbour Water Control Zone; • Environmental Impact Assessment Ordinance (EIAO) (Cap. 499), Technical Memorandum on Environmental Impact Assessment Process (TM-EIAO); • ProPECC PN 5/93 “Drainage Plan subject to Comment by the Environmental Protection -
Chairman's Brief
Working Paper: WP/CMPB/9/2018 COUNTRY AND MARINE PARKS BOARD Summary Report of the Country Parks Committee 1. Purpose 1.1 This paper aims to inform members of the major issues discussed at the Country Parks Committee (CPC) meeting held on 16 May 2018. 2. Inter-reservoirs Transfer Scheme (IRTS) - Water Tunnel between Kowloon Byewash Reservoir and Lower Shing Mun Reservoir 2.1 The Drainage Services Department (DSD) and their consultant updated members on the latest proposal of the IRTS. Members noted that the IRTS had been put forward to CPC for discussion previously in 2008 and was supported by the then committee members. Under the IRTS, a water tunnel would be constructed between Kowloon Byewash Reservoir (KBR) and Lower Shing Mun Reservoir (LSMR) in Kam Shan Country Park (KSCP) to transfer overflow from the Kowloon Group of Reservoirs to Sha Tin Water Treatment Works for water treatment. It would help reduce flood risks in the West Kowloon region and conserve precious water resources. Members were also briefed on the scope of the project, the impacts of the construction works on KSCP, as well as the corresponding mitigation measures and compensation. 2.2 During the discussion, DSD and their consultant addressed members’ concerns about the proposed compensatory tree planting as well as the findings of the latest ecological survey. In general, members hoped that DSD could make an extra effort in tree planting and improving the environment of the recreational site in the vicinity as enhancement measures for the temporary closure of a part of picnic area during the construction stage of the project. -

Estima-se que praticamente 20% das espécies de Camellia se encontram no Vietname. A região fitogeográfica do sul da Ásia é composta pela China, Laos, Mianmar (ex-Birmânia), Tailândia, Camboja e Vietname. 1 (Huang et al., 2016) 106 • A proposta taxonómica de Linnaeus (1835), “Sistema Natura”, permitiu-nos obter uma mais fácil e rápida identificação das espécies. • Baseia-se numa classificação dita binomial que atribui nomes compostos por duas palavras, quase sempre recorrendo ao latim.
