A Base of plant showing rhizomes, pseudostems and an inflorescence bud; B Flower, front view C Flower, side view D Section through flower v Abstract Myoga (Zingiber mioga Roscoe) is a new vegetable crop in Australia, cultivated for its edible flower buds. Originating from Japan, the crop was introduced into Australia with the expectation that it could be produced over the summer months, with flower buds then exported to Japan, where they retail at a high out-of-season price. fudustry has identified a number of challenges to the successful commercialisation of this crop in Australia. The majority of these relate to cultural aspects ofmyoga production and manipulation of the growing environment to control crop performance, in particular, extension of harvest season. A lack of knowledge of the effect of environmental factors on the production of myoga flower buds has hampered initial efforts to successfully cultivate this crop in the Australia. Photoperiod was identified as a potentially important environmental factor affecting the production of myoga flower buds. A series of trials conducted within controlled environment cabinets determined that myoga had dual photoperiod requirements for successful flower bud production, with flower bud initiation having a quantitative short day requirement while flower bud development had a qualitative long day requirement. Differences in the critical daylength required for successful flower bud development in cultivar S and I myoga plants was identified as the reason why cultivar I plants senesced prematurely when field cultivated in Southern Australia. The critical daylength for flower bud development in cultivar S plants was determined to be approximately 13 hours, while cultivar I plants required a daylength closer to 14 hours. Low night temperatures were observed to interact with photoperiod, resulting in successful flower bud development in daylength conditions that at higher night temperatures would have been too short. From the results of these trials, photoperiod was deemed to be a crucial determinant of the location of future production sites and the timing of production seasons. Environmental factors affecting general plant growth and development were also deemed important areas of research, in particular the tolerance of myoga plants to Vl strong light conditions. There have been reports of variations in the shade requirement of myoga plants grown in different climatic regions. This led to the hypothesis that these plants were susceptible to cold induced photoinhibition of photosynthesis. This was confirmed during a number of trials which used chlorophyll fluorescence techniques to investigate the function of photosynthetic systems within myoga plants when placed into stressful conditions. Exposure ofmyoga to light intensities greater than 750 µmol m-2s-1 resulted in the engagement of photoprotective mechanisms to prevent photodamage occurring. Sensitivity to low temperatures meant that these plants became photoinhibited at far lower light intensities and the engagement of photoprotective mechanisms was sustained, when plants were exposed to low temperatures in conjunction with light. The acclimation of these plants to low temperature and the successful engagement of photoprotective systems within the photosystem indicate that myoga can cope with strong light intensities over a short­ term period. However exposure to strong light intensities at warm temperatures or moderate light intensities at low temperatures, for an extended period of time, is likely to result in permanent photodamage occurring. Additional cultural factors affecting commercial production of myoga flower buds were identified during the first two years of cultivation. At Albion Park, NSW it was determined that myoga plantings remaining in the ground for longer than one year did not require artificial chilling, and with correct management of vegetation could produce higher flower bud yields than first year plants. Production trials conducted in Rockhampton, QLD investigated the effect of daylength and temperature on flower bud production, and confirmed that myoga was well suited to cultivation in a sub­ tropical environment provided due consideration was given to photoperiod and the potential need for artificial chilling. Recommendations based on the above research findings have already been adopted into commercial production protocols and as such many of the challenges to myoga production in Australia have now been successfully resolved.

  • Plant Life of Western Australia
    INTRODUCTION The characteristic features of the vegetation of Australia I. General Physiography At present the animals and plants of Australia are isolated from the rest of the world, except by way of the Torres Straits to New Guinea and southeast Asia. Even here adverse climatic conditions restrict or make it impossible for migration. Over a long period this isolation has meant that even what was common to the floras of the southern Asiatic Archipelago and Australia has become restricted to small areas. This resulted in an ever increasing divergence. As a consequence, Australia is a true island continent, with its own peculiar flora and fauna. As in southern Africa, Australia is largely an extensive plateau, although at a lower elevation. As in Africa too, the plateau increases gradually in height towards the east, culminating in a high ridge from which the land then drops steeply to a narrow coastal plain crossed by short rivers. On the west coast the plateau is only 00-00 m in height but there is usually an abrupt descent to the narrow coastal region. The plateau drops towards the center, and the major rivers flow into this depression. Fed from the high eastern margin of the plateau, these rivers run through low rainfall areas to the sea. While the tropical northern region is characterized by a wet summer and dry win- ter, the actual amount of rain is determined by additional factors. On the mountainous east coast the rainfall is high, while it diminishes with surprising rapidity towards the interior. Thus in New South Wales, the yearly rainfall at the edge of the plateau and the adjacent coast often reaches over 100 cm.

The current pantropical distribution of the order suggests an historical Gondwanan distribution, however the evolutionary history of the group has never been analyzed in a temporal context to test if the order is old enough to attribute its current distribution to vicariance mediated by the break-up of the supercontinent. Based on a phylogeny derived from morphological and molecular characters, we develop a hypothesis for the spatial and temporal evolution of Zingiberales using Dispersal-Vicariance Analysis (DIVA) combined with a local molecular clock technique that enables the simultaneous analysis of multiple gene loci with multiple calibration points.

    Bangladesh J. Plant Taxon. 20(2): 239-242, 2013 (December) © 2013 Bangladesh Association of Plant Taxonomists ZINGIBER SALARKHANII (ZINGIBERACEAE), A NEW SPECIES FROM BANGLADESH 1 M. ATIQUR RAHMAN AND M. YUSUF Department of Botany, University of Chittagong, Chittagong 4331, Bangladesh Keywords: New species; Zingiberaceae; Zingiber salarkhanii; Bangladesh. Abstract Zingiber salarkhanii Rahman et Yusuf, belonging to the family Zingiberaceae, is described and illustrated from Bangladesh as a new species. It was collected from six different localities of hilly forests in Chittagong, Khagrachari and Moulvi Bazar districts. Morphological diagnostic characters of closely related species of the genus are discussed. Introduction The genus Zingiber Boehm. is characterized by its aromatic branched rhizomes, leafy erect pseudo-stems, lateral spikes, lateral staminodes adnate to labellum, forming a 3-lobed structure, tri-locular ovary and dehiscent capsules. The genus is widely distributed throughout tropical Asia by more than 100 species (Mabberley, 2008). It is known to be represented in Bangladesh by 6 species, viz., Zingiber capitatum Roxb., Z. officinale Rosc., Z. purpureum Rosc., Z. roseum (Roxb.) Rosc., Z. rubens Roxb. and Z. zerumbet (L.) R.M. Smith (Yusuf, 2008). While working with the family Zingiberaceae since 1993 for its species diversity and complete inventory for the flora of Bangladesh, we came across some unidentified specimens of the genus Zingiber Boehm. collected from the forests of Chittagong, Khagrachari and Moulvi Bazar districts which could not be matched with any named species of the genus. The specimens were critically examined and described. Consultation of relevant literature (Roxburgh, 1814, 1820, 1832; Wallich, 1829-1849; Baker, 1890; Prain, 1903; Heinig, 1925; Kanzilal et.
