The objectives of this study paper were (1) evaluate the growth, biomass and survival of different woody plant species established through direct seeding in a semi-arid degraded land; (2) identify woody plant species that could be further used for restoration of degraded lands. To achieve the objectives eight woody plant species seeds were gathered, their seeds were sown in a degraded land, in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) (n=4). Data on germination, growth and survival of the different woody plants were collected at regular intervals during an eleven-month period. At the end of the study period, the remaining woody plants' dry biomasses were assessed. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used for the data analysis and mean separation was performed using Fisher’s least significant difference (LSD) test (p=0.05). The result revealed significant differences on the mean heights, root length, root collar diameters, root to shoot ratio, dry root biomasses and dry shoot biomasses of the different species (p < 0.05).

  • 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).

  • The Genus Acacia S.L. in Pakistan
    Pak. J. Bot., 46(1): 1-4, 2014. THE GENUS ACACIA S.L. IN PAKISTAN S.I. ALI Centre for Plant Conservation, University of Karachi, Karachi, Pakistan. Abstract The molecular studies clearly indicate that Acacia s.l. is non-monophyletic and there is robust support for the recognition of five genera. Hence the classical identity of Acacia has to change. The pros and cons of typifying and retypifying Acacia by different types are discussed. It is argued that under the circumstances, the only option available is to accept the decision taken at the XVIII International Botanical Congress at Melbourne. Consequently the current position of various taxa present in Pakistan, formerly placed in Acacia s.l., have been transferred to Acacia s.s. Vachellia and Senegalia. This has resulted in five new combinations in the genus Vachellia and one new combination in Senegalia. Classically the genus Acacia Miller was typified by 203 species [Asia 43 species (7 species common with Acacia scorpioides (L.) W. Wight, a synonym of A. Africa also), Africa with 69 species, c. 117 species in nilotica (L.) Delile. However, Orchard and Maslin (2003) America and 2 species in Australia], Acaciella (c. 15 submitted a proposal to retypify Acacia s.l. by A. species in America) will replace Acacia s.l. Mariosousa penninervis Sieber ex DC., an Australian species. Seigler & Ebinger, a recently described genus from According to McNeill et al., 2005, this proposal was Americas will maintain its separate generic identity accepted. However, acceptance of this retypification (Mabberley, 2008). remained controversial (Luckow et al., 2005, Moore Hence the recommendations of Smith & Figuairedo 2007, Smith et al., 2010, Brummitt, 2011, Linder & Crisp (2011) that we should continue using Acacia s.l.

Ants show complex interactions with plants, both facultative and mutualistic, ranging from grazers through seed predators and dispersers to herders of some herbivores and guards against others. But ants are rarely pollinators, and their visits to flowers may be detrimental to plant fitness. 2. Plants therefore have various strategies to control ant distributions, and restrict them to foliage rather than flowers. These ‘filters’ may involve physical barriers on or around flowers, or ‘decoys and bribes’ sited on the foliage (usually extrafloral nectaries - EFNs). Alternatively, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are used as signals to control ant behaviour, attracting ants to leaves and ⁄ or deterring them from functional flowers. Some of the past evidence that flowers repel ants by VOCs has been equivocal and we describe the shortcomings of some experimental approaches, which involve behavioural tests in artificial conditions.

  • Phylogenetic Position and Revised Classification of Acacia S.L. (Fabaceae: Mimosoideae) in Africa, Including New Combinations in Vachellia and Senegalia

Botannical Journal of the Linnean Society, 172(4): 500 – 523. http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/boj.12047 Phylogenetic position and revised classification of Acacia s.l. (Fabaceae: Mimosoideae) in Africa, including new combinations in Vachellia and Senegalia Bruce Kyalangalilwa, James S. Boatwright, Barnabas H. Daru, Olivier Maurin and Michelle van der Bank Abstract Previous phylogenetic studies have indicated that Acacia Miller s.l. is polyphyletic and in need of reclassification. A proposal to conserve the name Acacia for the larger Australian contingent of the genus (formerly subgenus Phyllodineae) resulted in the retypification of the genus with the Australian A. penninervis. However, Acacia s.l. comprises at least four additional distinct clades or genera, some still requiring formal taxonomic transfer of species. These include Vachellia (formerly subgenus Acacia), Senegalia (formerly subgenus Aculeiferum), Acaciella (formerly subgenus Aculeiferum section Filicinae) and Mariosousa (formerly the A. coulteri group). In light of this fragmentation of Acacia s.l., there is a need to assess relationships of the non-Australian taxa. A molecular phylogenetic study of Acacia s.l and close relatives occurring in Africa was conducted using sequence data from matK/trnK, trnL-trnF and psbA-trnH with the aim of determining the placement of the African species in the new generic system. The results reinforce the inevitability of recognizing segregate genera for Acacia s.l. and new combinations for the African species in Senegalia and Vachellia are formalized.
