Since its commercialisation in Hawaii fewer than 100 years ago, global production has expanded rapidly. However, genomic resources are limited in comparison to other horticultural crops. The first draft assembly of M. integrifolia had good coverage of the functional gene space but its high fragmentation has restricted its use in comparative genomics and association studies. Here we have generated an improved assembly of cultivar HAES 741 (4,094 scaffolds, 745 Mb, N50 413 kb) using a combination of Illumina paired and PacBio long read sequences. -
Bush Foods and Fibres
Australian Plants Society NORTH SHORE GROUP Ku-ring-gai Wildflower Garden Bush foods and fibres • Plant-based bush foods, medicines and poisons can come from nectar, flowers, fruit, leaves, bark, stems, sap and roots. • Plants provide fibres and materials for making many items including clothes, cords, musical instruments, shelters, tools, toys and weapons. • A fruit is the seed-bearing structure of a plant. • Do not eat fruits that you do not know to be safe to eat. Allergic reactions or other adverse reactions could occur. • We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of this land and pay our respects to the Elders both past, present and future for they hold the memories, traditions, culture and hope of their people. Plants as food: many native plants must be processed before they are safe to eat.

We also know that flowers that are bagged in the working on pollination of citrus and have since been day and unbagged at night do not set any nuts (Heard 1993), working on pollination for other horticultural industries. suggesting that whatever is pollinating macadamias only Given recent concern about pollination in macadamia works in the daytime. here is a summary of my work. The same study found that the more bee visits a flower WHY DO MACADAMIAS NEED BEES? receives, the higher the initial nut set. I am not saying that Most growers are aware of a large body of work on the wind pollination does not occur, but that all the evidence importance of cross pollination for high yields in suggests that if bees are present, they are much, much more macadamia (Trueman and Turnbull 1994, Wallace et al. effective pollinators than wind.
