Synoptic Overview of Exotic Acacia, Senegalia and Vachellia (Caesalpinioideae, Mimosoid Clade, Fabaceae) in Egypt
plants Article Synoptic Overview of Exotic Acacia, Senegalia and Vachellia (Caesalpinioideae, Mimosoid Clade, Fabaceae) in Egypt Rania A. Hassan * and Rim S. Hamdy Botany and Microbiology Department, Faculty of Science, Cairo University, Giza 12613, Egypt; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: For the first time, an updated checklist of Acacia, Senegalia and Vachellia species in Egypt is provided, focusing on the exotic species. Taking into consideration the retypification of genus Acacia ratified at the Melbourne International Botanical Congress (IBC, 2011), a process of reclassification has taken place worldwide in recent years. The review of Acacia and its segregates in Egypt became necessary in light of the available information cited in classical works during the last century. In Egypt, various taxa formerly placed in Acacia s.l., have been transferred to Acacia s.s., Acaciella, Senegalia, Parasenegalia and Vachellia. The present study is a contribution towards clarifying the nomenclatural status of all recorded species of Acacia and its segregate genera. This study recorded 144 taxa (125 species and 19 infraspecific taxa). Only 14 taxa (four species and 10 infraspecific taxa) are indigenous to Egypt (included now under Senegalia and Vachellia). The other 130 taxa had been introduced to Egypt during the last century. Out of the 130 taxa, 79 taxa have been recorded in literature. The focus of this study is the remaining 51 exotic taxa that have been traced as living species in Egyptian gardens or as herbarium specimens in Egyptian herbaria. The studied exotic taxa are accommodated under Acacia s.s. (24 taxa), Senegalia (14 taxa) and Vachellia (13 taxa).

Salt-Affected Soils and Management in Thailand
Bull. Soc. Sea Water Sci., Jpn., 69, 319 － 325（2015） Bulletin of the Society of Sea Water Science, Japan Special Issue: Salt Damage and Food Production of the World （Review） Salt-affected Soils and Management in Thailand ＊＊ Somsri ARUNIN and Pirach PONGWICHIAN The total area of salt-affected soils in Thailand are 2.302 million hectares, of which the inland saline soils are 1.904 million hectares and the rest are in the coastal areas. Slightly to moderately salt-affected inlands are generally used for rice cultivation or other cash crops. Appropriate agronomic practices include selection of salt tolerant species, use of organic amendments and green manure. Management of severely salt-affected soils requires rehabilitation, leaching and drainage, mulching and change in cropping pattern. Halophytes have a role in revegetation and contribute to environmental remediation. In addition, reforestation on the recharge uplands has been recommended to lower groundwater hence, control salination in the discharge zone. Engineering and agronomic on-farm management practices for coastal salt-affected soils must be tailored to cope with the specific agro-ecosystem. More integrated research of various fields are needed. Key Words : Salinity, Remediation, Reforestation, Halophytes, Polder 1．Introduction 2．Inland salt-affected soil and management Salt-affected soils can be saline or sodic soils, saline soils 2.1 ‌Source and distribution of inland salt-affected are soils that contain soluble salts expressed as electrical soil conductivity（ ECe） of the saturation soil extract, higher than The wide spread inland salt-affected soils caused by both 2 dS/m at 25 ℃ and sodic soils with SAR（ Sodium natural and anthropogenic salination processes.

Although several Thai medicinal plants were screened for 18 pharmacological activities related to cancer treatment, such evidence still suffers from the lack 19 of linking with TTM knowledge. 20 Aim of the study: To document knowledge and species used in cancer prevention in TTM and 21 to preliminary investigate pharmacological activities related to the documented knowledge of 22 twenty-six herbal drugs used in cancer/mareng prevention. 23 Methods: Fieldwork gathering data on TTM concept and herbal medicines used in cancer 24 prevention was performed with TTM practitioners across Thailand. Later, water and ethanol 25 extracts from twenty-six herbal drugs mentioned as being used in cancer prevention were 26 screened for their protective effect against tert-butyl hydroperoxide-induced cell death in 27 HepG2 cells.

Tyrosinase Inhibitory Activity of Some Edible Plants
Tyrosinase inhibitory activity of some edible plants Titima Ketprayoon1, Chanya Chaicharoenpong2,* 1Program of Biotechnology, Faculty of Science, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok 10330, Thailand 2Institute in Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok 10330, Thailand *E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Tyrosinase catalyzes melanin biosynthesis that protects the skin from harmful effects of UV radiation. If melanin generates abnormal production, it leads to hyperpigmentation, freckle and blemish. Therefore, tyrosinase inhibitors are used to stop production of melanin. The aim of this work is to evaluate the tyrosinase inhibitory activity of 20 edible plants. Plant material was extracted with methanol and water. Then, the methanol and aqueous crude extracts were tested for their in vitro tyrosinase inhibitory activity using L-DOPA as a substrate. Methanol crude extracts of pod peels of Parkia speciosa Hassk. (Petai) showed the strongest tyrosinase inhibitory activity among the tested plants with percentage of inhibition of 66.22 ± 1.29% at concentration of 1.0 mg/mL compared to positive control of kojic acid (83.46 ± 0.35% inhibition) and arbutin (23.35 ± 0.95% inhibition) at same concentration of 1.0 mg/mL. Further studies are needed to isolate, characterize and elucidate the structure of tyrosinase inhibitors and other medicinal properties of this plant. Introduction Tyrosinase (EC 1.14.18.1) is a multifunctional oxidase that is widely distributed in nature. It is an important enzyme in melanin biosynthesis and is involved in determining the color of mammalian skin.1 Melanin is produced in melanocytes which are found in stratum basale of the epidermis.2 Reaction of tyrosinase is initiated when skin is exposed to UV radiation by the hydroxylation of L-tyrosine to L-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA), after that L-DOPA is oxidized to DOPAquinone.

Synoptic Overview of Acacia Sensu Lato (Leguminosae: Mimosoideae) in East and Southeast Asia
Gardens’ Bulletin Singapore 67(1): 231–250. 2015 231 doi: 10.3850/S2382581215000186 Synoptic overview of Acacia sensu lato (Leguminosae: Mimosoideae) in East and Southeast Asia B.R. Maslin Western Australian Herbarium, Department of Parks and Wildlife, Locked Bag 104, Bentley Delivery Centre, Western Australia 6983 [email protected] Honorary Research Associate Herbarium, Singapore Botanic Gardens, National Parks Board, 1 Cluny Road, Singapore 259569 ABSTRACT. Recent research shows that the formerly broadly circumscribed, pantropical genus Acacia Mill. (Leguminosae: Mimosoideae) is polyphyletic and should be treated as comprising at least five genera, namely, Acacia Mill. sensu stricto, Acaciella Britton & Rose, Mariosousa Seigler & Ebinger, Senegalia Raf. and Vachellia Wight & Arn. The indigenous flora of Acacia sensu lato in East and Southeast Asia comprise 52 species: 32 species (38 taxa) of Senegalia, 12 species of Acacia sensu stricto and eight species of Vachellia. These species are listed and their geographic distributions given, showing that Acacia sensu lato is unevenly distributed across the region, with centres of species-richness in Indonesia, Myanmar and Thailand. A summary of the classification history of Acacia sensu lato is provided and nomenclatural impacts of the recent retypification ofAcacia briefly discussed. Keywords. Classification, nomenclature, phylogeny, Senegalia, Vachellia Introduction Molecular and other evidence has shown that the formerly broadly circumscribed, pantropical genus Acacia Mill. (Leguminosae: Mimosoideae) is polyphyletic and should be treated as comprising at least five genera, namely,Acacia Mill. sensu stricto, Acaciella Britton & Rose, Mariosousa Seigler & Ebinger, Senegalia Raf. and Vachellia Wight & Arn. (Miller & Seigler, 2012). Collectively, these five genera are called Acacia sensu lato in the discussion below.
