Group, International Society for Horticultural Science News of General Interest, Pineapple Working Group News Dear Colleagues: Another year has passed and you are now reading the 15th issue of Pineapple News. The number of contributions to the newsletter were down significantly this year, a typical occurrence the year after a pineapple symposium has been held. The VIth International Pineapple Symposium was convened in Joa Pessoa, Brazil in November of 2007 and D. Haroldo Reinhardt, the chair of the organizing committee, has kindly provided a report of the symposium below. You will find the abstracts of the many interesting papers presented at the meeting at the end of the newsletter. Editing of papers for the proceedings is moving forward but is not complete at the time this is being written. It is likely that it will be at least a few months before the proceedings is published and distributed to participants and available for purchase at the ISHS web site. While the number of contributions to the newsletter is down, I hope you will find something of interest in those that have been submitted. In addition to the contributions below, I only recently discovered the CIRAD web site on marketing of tropical fruits, including

  • A Review on the Malaysian Aquilaria Species in Karas Plantation and Agarwood Production
    International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences 2017, Vol. 7, No. 4 ISSN: 2222-6990 A Review on the Malaysian Aquilaria species in Karas Plantation and Agarwood Production Mohd Fauzi Elias1, Husni Ibrahim1 and Wan Rusmawati Wan Mahamod2 Department of Biology, Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science and Mathematics Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris, Tanjung Malim, Malaysia Corresponding Author Email: [email protected] DOI: 10.6007/IJARBSS/v7-i4/2911 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.6007/IJARBSS/v7-i4/2911 Abstract Malaysia is one of the countries which is rich in its flora and fauna bio-diversity. Malaysian forest products have been exploited since ancient times for its high economic values. One of these high economic value products is agarwood. Thymelaeacea is one medium-size family tree where it is estimated to consist of 50 genera and 900 species of which many can be found in Africa, Australia and Asia. Most species of Aquilaria in Thymelaeaceae family produced agarwood or ‘gaharu’. Aquilaria malaccensis is a species of the highest recorded number of planting by karas tree farmers and known as the primary producer of agarwood in Malaysia. Agarwood is non timber forest product it is one of the precious wood on earth and prized for its rich and wonderful fragrance. Agarwood is formed due to the phathological process as respond to fungal infection or chemically stimulated. This paper seek to understand in general the type of karas trees species most favoured by karas farmers and to know what other similar species that are capable of producing resin for gaharu products.

HOLST Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, 811 South Palm Avenue, Sarasota, Florida 34236, USA ABSTRACT. From the first observations of the pineapple by European explorers to the classification into Pseudananas sagenarius and the seven Ananas species prevailing at present, the evolution of pineapple taxonomy has shown considerable variation. Most early botanists named or renamed species from previous dubious descriptions or from particular horticultural types. More recently, the genus Pseudananas was created, while horticultural types disappeared from the Ananas species. Subsequently, the total number of species increased again as botanical varieties and forms with minor variation were elevated to species rank. The resulting classification is questionable, as neither discontinuous morphological variation nor reproduc­ tive barriers exist in the genus Ananas. Ananas and Pseudananas are the only genera peduncle. The dry fibers constitute 6% of plant in the Bromeliaceae whose fused flowers devel­ weight (Camargo 1943). The absence of spines op into a sorose-type fruit formed by the coa­ facilitates manual fiber extraction, although lescence of up to 200 berries. The most recent some spiny or partially spiny mutants have been classification (Smith & Downs 1979) established observed.
