Hopefully I’m wrong and in other areas of the Sunshine Coast, or further south there are plants thriving and reproducing. Rhodomyrtus psidioides is the single representative of the genus Rhodomyrtus in South East Queensland and New South Wales – it is nearing its northern most limit of distribution here on the Sunshine Coast (occurs as far north as Tinana Creek, Maryborough). In form it is a shrub to small tree, that suckers readily which can be great for a hedge and can form small thickets, where they do occur naturally, which tends to be in the ecotone between rainforest and tall eucalypt communities. Foliage is generally dense and the opposite leaves have a light fruity smell when crushed.

The fi rst years were based around trial and error, experimenting with peat pots, mangrove mud, potting mix, and fi nding suitable locations along the Maroochy River with suffi cient tidal range to help ‘water’ the mangrove seedlings as they grew out. The design and trials with protective barriers against boat-wash for the seedlings included the use of coir logs or old sediment curtains put in place with wooden stakes. At some sites the survival rate of the seedlings may have been as low as 30% with fl ood events and fl ood debris taking casualties. In recent years newer revegetation sites have seen a survival rate of 80-90% that has been very encouraging. Over summer we collect seed for and propagate the River Mangrove (Aegiceras corniculatum), Orange Mangrove (Bruguiera gymnorhiza) and Red mangrove (Rhizophora stylosa).

Although our region is experiencing significant population growth, we are dedicated to not only keeping but enhancing the outstanding characteristics that make this such a special place in the world. Our trees are the lungs of the Sunshine Coast and I am delighted that council has endorsed this master plan to increase the number of street trees across our region to balance our built environment.

Here we used Southern blot hybridisation, PCR and sequencing approaches to analyse genomic organisation of rRNA genes in all large gymnosperm groups, including Coniferales, Ginkgoales, Gnetales and Cycadales. The data are provided for 27 species (21 genera). The 5S units linked to the 35S rDNA units occur in some but not all Gnetales, Coniferales and in Ginkgo (B30% of the species analysed), while the remaining exhibit separate organisation. The linked 5S rRNA genes may occur as single-copy insertions or as short tandems embedded in the 26S–18S rDNA intergenic spacer (IGS). The 5S transcript may be encoded by the same (Ginkgo, Ephedra) or opposite (Podocarpus) DNA strand as the 18S–5.8S–26S genes. In addition, pseudogenised 5S copies were also found in some IGS types. Both L- and S-type units have been largely homogenised across the genomes. Phylogenetic relationships based on the comparison of 5S coding sequences suggest that the 5S genes independently inserted IGS at least three times in the course of gymnosperm evolution. Frequent transpositions and rearrangements of basic units indicate relatively relaxed selection pressures imposed on genomic organisation of 5S genes in plants.

  • Native Trees and Shrubs for Seaside Areas
    NATIVE TREES & SHRUBS RECOMMENDED FOR SEASIDE AREAS NOOSA & DISTRICT LANDCARE GROUP STATION STREET, POMONA PH: 5485 2468 PLANTS SUITABLE FOR SEASIDE AREAS This list has been prepared as a guide to the selection of trees and shrubs suitable for planting on the coastal areas of Queensland. Most species are available from Noosa Landcare’s nurseries. Others listed are generally available from nurseries specializing in native plants. The problems of seaside plantings are mainly concerned with salt-laden winds which burn the foliage of tender plants. For such exposed sites the following plants will provide a resistant windbreak.

Its nuts are known to keep well, raising the possibility that they may contain antimicrobial compounds and therefore may have value as a functional food to retard spoilage and prevent food poisoning, as well as potential medicinal antibiotic uses. Methods: A.bidwillii solvent extracts were tested for antimicrobial activity against a panel of bacteria (Aeromonas hydrophila, Alcaligenes feacalis, Bacillus cereus, Citrobacter freundii, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus mirabilis, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Salmonella newport, Serratia marcescens, Shigella sonnei, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Streptococcus pyogenes) and toxicity in vitro.

They are often used to symbolise the fragility and beauty of the natural world, and the urgency of moving to sustainable ways to live. Concepts such as human loss, growth, regeneration and renewal often use tree-like metaphors, and those responsible for the custodianship of woodlands, arboreta and botanical gardens are seen as guardians of a collective past, of the present and a hope for an increasingly uncertain future. This is further underscored by the recognition that the Earth’s forests are an important producer of oxygen and regulator of atmospheric carbon dioxide levels and that large-scale deforestation has been an important factor in the long-term warming and cooling of the planet. The perceived role that woodlands play in so-called “ecosystem services” is now seen as an integral component of the survival and quality of life on earth. Important roles include flood mitigation, soil and water conservation, carbon capture, air quality in cities, protection of biological diversity of plants and wildlife and the mental and physical wellbeing of humanity.

Circular letters are available on the Codex webpage/Circular Letters: http://www.fao.org/fao-who-codexalimentarius/resources/circular-letters/en BACKGROUND 1. Background on the discussion of the revision of the Classification of Food and Feed (CXM 4-1989) can be found in the reports of the 36th – 49th sessions of the Committee on Pesticide Residues (CCPR) including relevant sessions of the Codex Alimentarius (CAC) held from 2004 to 2017.1 2. The practice adopted by the Committee in the revision of the Classification is to retain the revision of the commodity groups (e.g. fruit commodity groups, vegetable commodity groups, etc.) awaiting final compilation of the related commodity groups and the corresponding tables on examples of representative commodities for inclusion in the Classification of Food and Feed and the Principles and Guidance on the Selection of Representative Commodities for the Extrapolation of Maximum Residue Limits for Pesticides to Commodity Groups (CXG 84-2012) respectively.
