Page 2 of 14 ER-AN-O2N-2 01/08: Application to import into containment any new organism that is not genetically modified Section 2: Purpose of the application Lay summary of the application (approximately 200 words) Note: This summary should include a description of the organism(s), the purpose of the application or what you want to do with the organisms(s). Use simple non-technical language Since the implementation of the Hazardous Substances and New Organisms (HSNO) Act 1996, any organism (including plants) not present in New Zealand immediately prior to 29 July 1998 requires approval from ERMA before it can be imported. Applying for such a full release can be an expensive and time-consuming process. It would therefore be beneficial to plant-based industries and the economy to import potentially valuable species into a secured containment facility to enable the gathering of New Zealand specific data prior to applying for a full or conditional release. Given the stringent containment requirements and the negligible risk of escape we believe the benefits far outweigh the costs. In the long-term this application if successful will increase the selection of plants available to New Zealanders for amenity, horticultural and industrial use. This outcome is in line with MAF‟s purpose of “Leading the protection and sustainable development of our biological resources for all New Zealanders.” Page 3 of 14 ER-AN-O2N-2 01/08: Application to import into containment any new organism that is not genetically modified Describe the background and aims of the project Note: This section is intended to put the organism(s) in perspective of the wider project(s) that they will be used in. You may use more technical language but please make sure that any technical words are included in the Glossary. Since the implementation of the Hazardous Substances and New Organisms (HSNO) Act 1996, any organism (including plants) not present in New Zealand prior to 29 July 1998 requires approval from ERMA before it can be imported. Biosecurity requirements determined by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (MAF) also need to be met. Applying for a full release and meeting biosecurity requirements can be an expensive and time-consuming process. It would therefore be beneficial to plant-based industries (and in the long-term the economy) if exotic plant species could be imported into containment for research prior to applying for a full or conditional release. MAF‟s Plant Health & Environment Laboratory is responsible for the identification and/or validation of all suspected exotic, new and emerging pests and diseases of plants (including arable, forestry & horticultural crops, and species of amenity and environmental value). In 2005, the government approved a new initiative to facilitate the importation of new plant germplasm. To date much of this funding has been used to develop the capability required for New Zealand to have a fully functioning post-entry quarantine (PEQ) system. However, there a number of additional ways in which this mandate can be fulfilled, e.g. by broadening the range of plant species that can be imported. The importation of new plant species would also broaden the range of species which can be used as indicator plants for diagnosing plant pests and diseases. The purpose of this application is to seek approval for entities such as private importers, crown research institutes, laboratories and universities to import identified exotic species of plants belonging to the family Rosaceae into containment in order for research to be undertaken. All containment facilities will be MAF-registered and will be constructed and operated in accordance with the MAF Biosecurity New Zealand and ERMA New Zealand Standard, Containment Facilities for Plants: 2007. Only species belonging to the family Rosaceae will be imported into containment in New Zealand. The benefits of allowing plants into containment for research far outweigh the costs (e.g. the risk of escaping containment and establishing a self-sustaining population is negligible). In the long-term the approval would increase the selection of plants available to New Zealanders for amenity, horticultural and industrial use.

    Volume 6 (Relatives of Temperate Fruits) of the book series, "Wild Crop Relatives: Genetic, Genomic and Breeding Resources ed C. Kole 2011 p179-197 9 Rubus J. Graham* and M. Woodhead Scottish Crop Research Institute, Dundee, DD2 5DA, UK *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract The Rosaceae family consists of around 3, 000 species of which 500 belong to the genus Rubus. Ploidy levels range from diploid to dodecaploid with a genomic number of 7, and members can be difficult to classify into distinct species due to hybridization and apomixes. Species are distributed widely across Asia, Europe, North and South America with the center of diversity now considered to be in China, where there are 250-700 species of Rubus depending on the taxonomists. Rubus species are an important horticultural source of income and labor being produced for the fresh and processing markets for their health benefits. Blackberries and raspberries have a relatively short history of less than a century as cultivated crops that have been enhanced through plant breeding and they are only a few generations removed from their wild progenitor species. Rubus sp. are typically found as early colonizers of disturbed sites such as pastures, along forest edges, in forest clearings and along roadsides. Blackberries are typically much more tolerant of drought, flooding and high temperatures, while red raspberries are more tolerant of cold winters. Additionally, they exhibit vigorous vegetative reproduction by either tip layering or root suckering, permitting Rubus genotypes to cover large areas. The attractiveness of the fruits to frugivores, especially birds, means that seed dispersal can be widespread with the result that Rubus genotypes can very easily be spread to new sites and are very effective, high-speed invaders.

  • Post-Fire Recovery of Woody Plants in the New England Tableland Bioregion
    Post-fire recovery of woody plants in the New England Tableland Bioregion Peter J. ClarkeA, Kirsten J. E. Knox, Monica L. Campbell and Lachlan M. Copeland Botany, School of Environmental and Rural Sciences, University of New England, Armidale, NSW 2351, AUSTRALIA. ACorresponding author; email: [email protected] Abstract: The resprouting response of plant species to fire is a key life history trait that has profound effects on post-fire population dynamics and community composition. This study documents the post-fire response (resprouting and maturation times) of woody species in six contrasting formations in the New England Tableland Bioregion of eastern Australia. Rainforest had the highest proportion of resprouting woody taxa and rocky outcrops had the lowest. Surprisingly, no significant difference in the median maturation length was found among habitats, but the communities varied in the range of maturation times. Within these communities, seedlings of species killed by fire, mature faster than seedlings of species that resprout. The slowest maturing species were those that have canopy held seed banks and were killed by fire, and these were used as indicator species to examine fire immaturity risk. Finally, we examine whether current fire management immaturity thresholds appear to be appropriate for these communities and find they need to be amended. Cunninghamia (2009) 11(2): 221–239 Introduction Maturation times of new recruits for those plants killed by fire is also a critical biological variable in the context of fire Fire is a pervasive ecological factor that influences the regimes because this time sets the lower limit for fire intervals evolution, distribution and abundance of woody plants that can cause local population decline or extirpation (Keith (Whelan 1995; Bond & van Wilgen 1996; Bradstock et al.

The multiple functional properties of Rubus ellipticus fits well in this trend. Recent data (49.5 µg/ml) revealed the high content of antioxidant and other phytochemical properties, which can give added value to this fruit on both nutritional and nutraceutical basis. With different essential compounds such as 2-Deoxy-D-ribose, potassium ferricyanide, butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), L-ascorbic acid, ellagic acid, quercetin, catechin, 1,1-diphenyl-2- picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) being present in different parts of plant a thorough research is well awaited into this underrated and underutilised plant. With no due care and agronomic operations needed, R. ellipticus may be used for varied horticultural benefits which may further reduce the surmountable pressure of few fruit crops.

Dear John, As requested Florigene is submitting “Addendum 1: pests and disease for roses” to add to petition 08-315-01p. This addendum outlines some of the common pest and diseases found in roses. It also includes information from our growers in California and Colombia stating that the two transgenic lines included in the petition are normal with regard to susceptibility and control. This addendum contains no CBI information. Kind Regards, Katherine Terdich Regulatory Affairs ADDENDUM 1: PEST AND DISEASE ISSUES FOR ROSES Roses like all plants can be affected by a variety of pests and diseases. Commercial production of plants free of pests and disease requires frequent observations and strategic planning. Prevention is essential for good disease control. Since the 1980’s all commercial growers use integrated pest management (IPM) systems to control pests and diseases. IPM forecasts conditions which are favourable for disease epidemics and utilises sprays only when necessary. The most widely distributed fungal disease of roses is Powdery Mildew. Powdery Mildew is caused by the fungus Podosphaera pannosa. It usually begins to develop on young stem tissues, especially at the base of the thorns. The fungus can also attack leaves and flowers leading to poor growth and flowers of poor quality.
