Minireview Paper Golden Camellias
1 1 Minireview Paper 2 Golden Camellias: A Review 3 4 ABSTRACT 5 Golden camellias or yellow camellias are species belonging to genus Camellia L., family 6 Theaceae. Fifty two species were described in southern China and Vietnam. Active 7 ingredients such as polysaccharides, polyphenols, tea saponins, and flavonoids are well 8 known characteristics of golden camellias. Its leaves and flowers have been long 9 traditionally used for health improvement. It was found to be able to inhibit the 10 transplanted cancer, lower blood pressure, lower blood lipid, lower cholesterol, and 11 prevent atherosclerosis. Currently, it cost 320-700US$ per one kg of dry flowers. Such 12 price attracts many local ethnic people to plant golden camellias for poverty reduction. 13 This work reviews (1) species and natural distribution, (2) uses and healthcare values, (3) 14 techniques for seedling production, planting and tending, and (4) opportunities and 15 challenges for future development of golden camellias. 16 17 Keywords: Active ingredient; Camellia L.; poverty reduction; shade-tolerant species; yellow flower. 2 18 1. SPECIES AND NATURAL DISTRIBUTION 19 Golden camellias or yellow camellias are shrubs and small-sized trees belonging to genus 20 Camellia L [1], family Theaceae [2-8]. Golden camellias have light to heavy yellow 21 flowers (Fig. 1) and are 3-12 m tall at maturity in natural distribution conditions. The size 22 of flowers are different among species from 1 to 10 cm in diameter (Fig. 1). About 52 23 species (Table 1) of golden camellias have been described in southern China and Vietnam. 24 Of which, nearly 40 species have natural distribution in Vietnam. -
Molluscicidal Activity of Camellia Oleifera Seed Meal
R ESEARCH ARTICLE ScienceAsia 40 (2014): 393–399 doi: 10.2306/scienceasia1513-1874.2014.40.393 Molluscicidal activity of Camellia oleifera seed meal Supunsa Kijprayoona, Vasana Toliengb, Amorn Petsoma, Chanya Chaicharoenpongb;∗ a Research Centre for Bioorganic Chemistry, Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Sciences, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok 10330 Thailand b Institute of Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok 10330 Thailand ∗Corresponding author, e-mail: [email protected] Received 6 Jul 2013 Accepted 1 Dec 2014 ABSTRACT: A mixture of molluscicidal saponin compounds was isolated from a methanolic extract of seed meal of Camellia oleifera and tested against Pomacea canaliculata. The most potent saponin fraction showed an LC50 value of 0.66 ppm. This was then used as a marker for quantitative analysis of active molluscicidal compounds in commercial oil- seed camellia meals on HPLC fractionation. The active saponin content was found to be 0.25–1.26% w/w. Methanol was the preferred extraction solvent for analysis of saponin compounds from oil-seed camellia meal. The effect of oil-seed camellia meal on P. canaliculata in a field experiment was determined for three doses: 12.50, 15.63, and 18.75 kg/ha in terms of numbers of dead snails. After one day, all treatments containing oil-seed camellia meal killed 100% of the snails in the sample compared with just 3.8% in the control without any chemical additive. No rice plant damage was detected from any treatments with oil-seed camellia meal, and the dry grain yield was comparable to that of niclosamide treatment. Thus oil-seed camellia meals may be a useful molluscicide for organic rice production. -

Patterns of flammability across the vascular plant phylogeny, with special emphasis on the genus Dracophyllum A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of philosophy at Lincoln University by Xinglei Cui Lincoln University 2020 Abstract of a thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of philosophy. Abstract Patterns of flammability across the vascular plant phylogeny, with special emphasis on the genus Dracophyllum by Xinglei Cui Fire has been part of the environment for the entire history of terrestrial plants and is a common disturbance agent in many ecosystems across the world. Fire has a significant role in influencing the structure, pattern and function of many ecosystems. Plant flammability, which is the ability of a plant to burn and sustain a flame, is an important driver of fire in terrestrial ecosystems and thus has a fundamental role in ecosystem dynamics and species evolution. However, the factors that have influenced the evolution of flammability remain unclear. -

In this study, 37 samples were Non-Camellia tea; Traditional function; collected, including 33 kinds of non-Camellia teas and 4 kinds of teas (Camellia). Traditional functions of Molecular identification; non-Camellia teas were investigated. Furthermore, non-Camellia teas of original plants were characterized BLASTN; and identified by molecular methods. Four candidate regions (rbcL, matK, ITS2, psbA-trnH) were Phylogenetic tree amplified by polymerase chain reaction. In addition, DNA barcodes were used for the first time to discriminate the commercial non-Camellia tea and their adulterants, and to evaluate their safety. This study showed that BLASTN and the relevant phylogenetic tree are efficient tools for identification of the commercial non-Camellia tea and their adulterants. -

Page 1 of 19 the Origins of Camellia X Williamsii at Caerhays the History
The Origins of Camellia x williamsii at Caerhays The history of the camellia in UK horticulture is a rather peculiar story. Camellias enjoyed rising popularity in the 1840s but, largely, only in the grandest country houses with large conservatories as at Chatsworth, Chiswick and Sheffield Park. The perception was that camellias were delicate, tender, plants suitable only for growing under the protection of glass. This was very probably because early forms of Camellia japonica from Japan were being imported from much warmer Mediterranean climates in Spain, Portugal and Italy where, again, they were being grown in the courtyards and walled gardens of wealthy nobility and landowners. The situation in Cornwall in the latter half of the 19th Century was different. Ships’ captains operating out of Falmouth were commissioned to bring back new plants from overseas by Cornish landowners and industrialists. One of the earliest examples of a collection of Camellia japonica varieties can still be found today in decline and over maturity in the walled garden at Scorrier House near Redruth. Here they still grow up against sheltering high stone walls. Tregothnan Estate near Truro also has one of the very earliest collections of Camellia japonica dating from the 1820s. It would appear that the plants which you still see today in good order were actually moved (and cut back) to their current location in the arboretum in about 1923. So camellias were far from being unknown in English gardens, but they had not exactly become popular or widely grown. One has to remember that in its pure specie form Camellia japonica has small, often sparse, and fairly unexciting single red flowers. -

Read Full License Loading [MathJax]/jax/output/CommonHTML/jax.js Page 1/14 Abstract Background: The aboveground biomass (AGB) of shrubs and small trees is the main component for the productivity and carbon storage of understory vegetation in subtropical natural secondary forests. However, few allometric models exist for shrubs and small trees, even though they can accurately evaluate understory vegetative biomass. Methods: To estimate the ABG of six common shrub and small tree species, we utilized harvesting to sample 206 individuals, and developed species-specic and multi-species allometric models based on four predictors including height (H), stem diameter (D), crown area (Ca), and wood density (ρ). Results: As expected, these six shrub and small tree species possessed greater biomass in their stems in contrast to branches, with the lowest biomass in the leaves. Species-specic allometric models that employed D and the combined variables of D2H and ρDH as predictors, could accurately estimate the components and total AGB, with R2 values ranging from between 0.602 and 0.971. -

Recent developmental and molecular data sets and the application of cladistic analytical methods support dramatic changes in circumscription at the familial, tribal, and generic levels. Growing interest in the family outside the taxonomic and systematic fields warrants a brief review of the recent nomenclatural history (mainly 20th century), some of the classification systems currently in use, and an explanation of which data support various classification schemes. An abridged bibliography with critical nomen- clatural references is provided. Key words: anatomy, classification, morphology, nomenclature, systematics, Theaceae.
