  • Ecology and Distribution of the Malesian Podocarps Neal J
    4 Ecology and Distribution of the Malesian Podocarps Neal J. Enright and Tanguy Jaffré ABSTRACT. Podocarp species and genus richness is higher in the Malesian region than anywhere else on earth, with maximum genus richness in New Guinea and New Caledo- nia and maximum species richness in New Guinea and Borneo. Members of the Podo- carpaceae occur across the whole geographic and altitudinal range occupied by forests and shrublands in the region. There is a strong tendency for podocarp dominance of vegetation to be restricted either to high- altitude sites close to the limit of tree growth or to other sites that might restrict plant growth in terms of water relations and nutri- ent supply (e.g., skeletal soils on steep slopes and ridges, heath forests, ultramafic parent material). Although some species are widespread in lowland forests, they are generally present at very low density, raising questions concerning their regeneration ecology and competitive ability relative to co- occurring angiosperm tree species. A number of species in the region are narrowly distributed, being restricted to single islands or mountain tops, and are of conservation concern. Our current understanding of the distribution and ecology of Malesian podocarps is reviewed in this chapter, and areas for further research are identified. INTRODUCTION The Malesian region has the highest diversity of southern conifers (i.e., Podocarpaceae and Araucariaceae) in the world (Enright and Hill, 1995). It is a large and heterogeneous area, circumscribing tropical and subtropical lowland to montane forest (and some shrubland) assemblages, extending from Tonga in Neal J. Enright, School of Environmental Science, the east to India in the west and from the subtropical forests of eastern Australia Murdoch University, Murdoch, Western Austra- in the south to Taiwan and Nepal in the north (Figure 4.1).

  • Ethnobotany, Phytochemistry and Pharmacology of Podocarpus Sensu Latissimo (S.L.) ⁎ H.S
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com South African Journal of Botany 76 (2010) 1–24 www.elsevier.com/locate/sajb Review Ethnobotany, phytochemistry and pharmacology of Podocarpus sensu latissimo (s.l.) ⁎ H.S. Abdillahi, G.I. Stafford, J.F. Finnie, J. Van Staden Research Centre for Plant Growth and Development, School of Biological and Conservation Sciences, University of KwaZulu-Natal Pietermaritzburg, Private Bag X01, Scottsville 3209, South Africa Received 26 August 2009; accepted 2 September 2009 Abstract The genus Podocarpus sensu latissimo (s.l.) was initially subdivided into eight sections. However, based on new information from different morphological and anatomical studies, these sections were recognised as new genera. This change in nomenclature sometimes is problematic when consulting ethnobotanical data especially when selecting plants for pharmacological screening, thus there is a need to clear any ambiguity with the nomenclature. Species of Podocarpus s.l. are important timber trees in their native areas. They have been used by many communities in traditional medicine and as a source of income. Podocarpus s.l. is used in the treatment of fevers, asthma, coughs, cholera, distemper, chest complaints and venereal diseases. Other uses include timber, food, wax, tannin and as ornamental trees. Although extensive research has been carried out on species of Podocarpus s.l over the last decade, relatively little is known about the African species compared to those of New Zealand, Australia, China and Japan. Phytochemical studies have led to the isolation and elucidation of various terpenoids and nor- and bis- norditerpenoid dilactones. Biflavonoids of the amentoflavone and hinokiflavone types have also been isolated.

  • Seedling Growth in Conifers and Angiosperms: Impacts of Contrasting Xylem Structure

DCorresponding author. Email: [email protected] Abstract. Competitive interaction between conifers and angiosperms has moulded the structure of global vegetation since the Cretaceous. Angiosperms appear to enjoy their greatest advantage in the lowland tropics, an advantage often attributed to the presence of vessels in their xylem tissue. By monitoring the seedling growth of three members of the pan-tropical conifer family Podocarpaceae and three tropical angiosperm tree species, our aim was to determine whether these conifer and angiosperm seedlings showed distinct patterns of growth and light adaptation that might be attributed to the presence/absence of vessels. Angiosperm seedlings were consistently more efficient in terms of leaf area carried per unit stem investment, as well as more responsive to light climate than the conifer seedlings. Apparently linked to this were larger growth rate, stem hydraulic conductivity and stomatal conductance in the angiosperm sample. Stem hydraulic conductivity and maximum stomatal conductance were highly correlated among species and light treatments explaining the association between highly conductive vessel-bearing wood and high rates of gas exchange. We conclude that xylem vessels contribute to higher rates of gas exchange and more efficient production of leaf area in our sample angiosperms than in conifers.

China Abstract The Mount Jinggangshan region is located between Jiangxi and Hunan provinces in southeastern China in the central section of the Luoxiao Mountains. A detailed investigation of Mount Jinggangshan region shows that the seed plant flora comprises 2,958 species in 1,003 genera and 210 families (Engler’s system adjusted according to Zhengyi Wu’s concept). Among them, 23 species of gymnospermae belong to 17 genera and 9 families, and 2,935 species of angiosperms are in 986 genera and 201 families. Moreover, they can also be sorted into woody plants (350 genera and 1,295 species) and herbaceous plants (653 genera and 1,663 species). The dominant families are mainly Fagaceae, Lauraceae, Theaceae, Hamamelidaceae, Magnoliaceae, Ericaceae, Styracaceae, Aquifoliaceae, Elaeocarpaceae, Aceraceae, Rosaceae, Corylaceae, Daphniphyllaceae, Symplocaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Pinaceae, Taxodiaceae, Cupressaceae and Taxaceae. Ancient and relic taxa include Ginkgo biloba, Fokienia hodginsii, Amentotaxus argotaenia, Disanthus cercidifolia subsp. longipes, Hamamelis mollis, Manglietia fordiana, Magnolia officinalis, Tsoongiodendron odorum, Fortunearia sinensis, Cyclocarya paliurus, Eucommia ulmoides, Sargentodoxa cuneata, Bretschneidera sinensis, Camptotheca acuminata, Tapiscia sinensis, etc. The flora of Mount Jinggangshan region includes 79 cosmopolitan genera and 924 non-cosmopolitan genera, which are 7.88% and 92.12% of all genera.

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. Origins and Evolution of the New Zealand Forest Flora a Molecular Phylogenetic Approach A thesis presented in partial fu lfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Plant Biology at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand. Karen Stockier 2001 The origins and evolution of the New Zealand flora have puzzled the imagination of botanists world-wide. Competing hypotheses have sought to explain the floristic relationships between New Zealand and other Southern Hemisphere landmasses. Scientific approaches have involved geology, plant morphology, palynology and palaeobotany in investigations of the distribution patterns of these floras. Analyses presented in the current thesis use molecular data to investigate phylogenetic relationships of plant lineages native to the New Zealand forest flora. In the present thesis, molecular work included amplification and sequencing of standard DNA markers such as nuclear ribosomal DNA, ndhF and rbeL gene sequence. These data were obtained for New Zealand and overseas species of Myrsinaceae, Nothofagaceae and genus Agathis (Araucariaceae). Analyses of these data have been presented alongside results and re-analyses of genetic data for Podocarpaceae, Proteaceae, Winteraceae and genus Metrosideros (Myrtaceae). These analyses aimed to synthesise recent work and provide a framework for further molecular investigations into the origins of the New Zealand woody forest flora. Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) was used to locate polymorphic genome regions that were converted into sequence specific DNA markers.
