Their valuable therapeutic properties have stimulated a fruitful research activity addressed to the identification of the bioactive components of their extracts yielding a great diversity of terpenes; polyphenols; and other exclusive products. Among the latter, starting with the discovery of myrtucommulone A from myrtle (Myrtus communis), a series of structurally-related acylphloroglucinol compounds have been characterized from several species that represent the basic active principles to be considered in view of possible drug development. Aspects concerning chemical and biological properties of these products are reviewed in the present paper. Keywords: myrtucommulone; acylphloroglucinols; Myrtaceae; plant extracts; biological activities 1. Introduction Myrtle (Myrtus communis) is a typical shrub of maquis and coastal bushes native of the Mediterranean area and Western Asia. It is well-known in traditional medicine, and for centuries its leaves and berries have found ethnomedical application in the treatment of several disorders of the digestive apparatus, as well as pulmonary and skin diseases [1,2].

    Acknowledgments Research into the systematics of Melaleuca in Canberra, Australia, was initiated by Bryan Barlow to whom credit is given for leading the early studies and demonstrating what a rewarding genus it is for scientific investigations. In the early 1980s, one of us (LAC) began working on the taxonomy of a group of species then considered to belong in Melaleuca but now recognised as Asteromyrtus, a genus allied to Agonis. Subsequently, LAC extended his research into the M. scabra group of species, into other parts of the genus and into other concepts within the Melaleuca complex. A great many people have assisted these studies through their provision of specimens, com- panionship and assistance in the field and/or herbarium, hospitality, information on the existence of unusual populations, and so on. These people are too numerous to name individually but we thank them here for their generosity and willingness to go out of their way to help. Special thanks, however, are due to colleagues then and/or currently on the staff of the Australian National Herbarium, notably Bryan Barlow, Kirsten Cowley, Brendan Lepschi, Julie Matarczyk and Frances Quinn. When this book was conceived, it was evident that no The majority of the photographs in the ‘Species information on essential oils was available for over 90 accounts’ (Chapter 7) were made available to us by the late species, despite the authors, wherever possible, having Ivan Holliday. Thanks are due to the many other people made a point of collecting foliage samples for distillation who have contributed photographs; they are named in the and analysis over the years.

Jacobs Thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science at Stellenbosch University, Department of Botany and Zoology Principal supervisor: Prof. John R. Wilson Co-supervisor: Prof. David M. Richardson Faculty of Science December 2016 Declaration By submitting this thesis/dissertation electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Date: December 2016 Chapters 2, 3, and 4 have been published (chapter 4 is in press). Chapter 5 is presented in the style of a journal manuscript. Work on Chapter 2 was started as part of a BSc Hons project in 2012, but this was expanded and improved on as part of my MSc. More details on contributions to the thesis are provided at the start of each specific chapter. Figures and tables are inserted in the text near first referencing and are therefore not listed in the Table of Contents. This thesis contains a single bibliography to minimise duplication of referencing across the chapters. 2 Thesis outline Evaluating potentially invasive plants is an important part of invasive species management. Reports of several naturalized and invasive Melaleuca species in South Africa prompted an investigation into which species are in the country and of these which pose a risk.

    Ecological Assessment Report 44 Shaws Road Beerwah Lot 3 RP171397 Prepared by Bill Flenady For Innovative Planning Solutions 1 Ecological Assessment Report and Rehabilitation Plan 44 Shaws Rd Beerwah Lot 3 RP 171397 INTRODUCTION This report was commissioned by IPS to fulfil the requirements of a request from Sunshine Coast Council for a brief ecological assessment of the property, list of flora species present and a rehabilitation plan for the watercourse in the north of the property. Council is proposing a drainage reserve on the area in the north (Area A) and a 10 metre wide covenant on the watercourse in the south (Area B). The flora survey was conducted on Tuesday 13 October 2015. It complies with the requirements of the Sunshine Coast Council Planning Scheme Policy for the Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands Code and the methodology used also complies with the DEHP Flora Survey Guidelines – Protected Plants. Abbreviations used in this report DEHP Queensland Department of V – Vulnerable Environment & Heritage Protection NCA – Nature Conservation Act 1992 NT – Near Threatened (Queensland) RE – Regional Ecosystem EPBC – Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Federal) E – Endangered SITE DESCRIPTION The property (‘the site’) is located on the corner of Shaws Road and Otto Nothling Place in Beerwah. The majority of the site is cleared and planted with a variety of orchard species, e.g. mangoes, citrus, macadamia, loquat etc. Area A is mapped as Regional Ecosystem 12.3.4, that is open forest/woodland of broad-leaved teatree Melaleuca quinquenervia and swamp mahogany Eucalyptus robusta on Quaternary (‘recent’) alluvial plains. This RE is regarded as ‘of concern’.

  • Genetic Considerations in Ecosystem Restoration Using Native Tree Species the State of the World’S Forest Genetic Resources Thematic Study
    GENETIC CONSIDERATIONS IN ECOSYSTEM RESTORATION USING NATIVE TREE SPECIES USING NATIVE IN ECOSYSTEM RESTORATION GENETIC CONSIDERATIONS THE STATE OF THE WORLD’S FOREST GENETIC RESOURCES THEMATIC STUDY There is renewed interest in the use of native tree species in ecosystem restoration for their biodiversity benefits. Growing native tree species in production systems THE STATE OF THE WORLD’S FOREST GENETIC RESOURCES – THE STATE (e.g. plantation forests and subsistence agriculture) can also ensure landscape functionality and support for human livelihoods. Achieving full benefits, however, requires consideration of genetic aspects that are often neglected, such as suitability of germplasm to the site, quality and quantity of the genetic pool used and regeneration potential. Understanding the extent and nature of gene flow across fragmented agro-ecosystems is also crucial to successful ecosystem restoration. This study, prepared within the ambit of The State of the World’s Forest Genetic Resources, reviews the role of genetic considerations in a wide range of ecosystem restoration activities involving trees. It evaluates how different approaches take, or could take, genetic aspects into account, thereby leading to the identification and selection of the most appropriate methods. The publication includes a review and syntheses of experience and results; an analysis of successes and failures in various systems; and definitions of best practices including genetic aspects. It also identifies knowledge gaps and needs for further research and development
