Management of Forest Resources and Environment THE STATUS OF CONIFEROUS PLANTS OF NAM NUNG NATURE RESERVE IN DAK NONG PROVINCE Nguyen Thi Thu1, Pham Thanh Trang2, Phung Thi Tuyen3, Tran Thi Tu Duoc4, Hoang Thanh Luong5 1,2,3,4Vietnam National University of Forestry 5Daknong Department of Forest Protection SUMMARY In this study, we discovered additionally one species (Cephalotaxus mannii Hook.f.) and one family (Cephalotaxaceae) of coniferous plants for Nam Nung Nature Reserve in Dak Nong province. Therefore, the total of species and family of this area increased to seven and three, respectively (including Cephalotaxus mannii Hook. f., Dacrydium elatum (Roxb.) Wall. ex Hook., Dacrycarpus imbricatus (Blume) de Laub., Podocarpus neriifolius D. Don; Keteleeria evelyniana Mast., Pinus massoniana Lamb., and Pinus merkusii Jungh. & de Vriese. Especially, five species are listed in the IUCN Red as VU (two species) and LC (three species). There is one species listed in the Vietnam Red Data Book (2007) as VU (Keteleeria evelyniana Mast.). In addition, two species are listed in the Decree 32/ND-CP as IIA as Cephalotaxus mannii Hook. f. and Keteleeria evelyniana Mast. Therefore, that species distributed in altitude from 800 m to 1,535 m. These findings will significantly provide scientific data for biodiversity management especially for threatened coniferous plant species in Nam Nung Nature Reserve. Furthermore, the result from our research will promote the further study about biodiversity in this area. Keywords: Coniferous, distribution, Nam Nung Nature Reserve, species composition. I. INTRODUCTION conducted necessary research on species Nam Nung Nature Reserve (Dak Nong compositions, conservation status and province) is located in five communes: Nam distribution of coniferous species in Nam Nung Nung, Nam N’Dir and Duc Xuyen (Krong No NR in order to provide sufficient scientific data district); Dac Hoa (Dak Song district) and for management and conservation of this area. Quang Son (Dak Glong district), with 20,156 II. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY ha. Nam Nung Nature Reserve (Nam Nung 2.1.

Nam Nung NR also possesses a Research on natural conservation status of high biodiversity (Dak Nong Department of coniferous species Forest Protection, 2011). There are 881 2.2. Methods vascular plant species, which belong to 541 Secondary data collection genera, 175 families, and six phyla (Dak Nong Desk study method was conducted, the Department of Forest Protection, 2011). Many secondary data of coniferous plant diversity in species have a scientific value, especially in Nam Nung Nature were collected carefully conifer such as Cephalotaxus mannii Hook. f., from the previous studies.

Wong2 1Department of Wood Science and Engineering, Chonnam National University, Gwangju 500-757, South Korea 2Faculty of Resource Science and Technology, University Malaysia Sarawak, 94300 Kota Samarahan, Sarawak, Malaysia *Corresponding author; e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Studies on the compression wood in tropical gymnosperms are uncommon due to their limited distribution and over-exploitation. Microscopic examination of the heartwood of two tropical gymnosperms, Agathis borneensis (local name: bindang, damar minyak) and Dacrydium elatum (local name: sempilor) grow- ing on higher elevations in Sarawak, Malaysia showed the occurrence of mild compression wood. Intercellular spaces were present in the compression wood of A. borneensis, but not in D. elatum. Rounded shapes of tracheids, typical of severe compression wood, were not observed in any of the samples examined. In D. elatum helical cavities were present, which corresponded in location to cell wall checks seen in cross-sectional views. The S1 layer was relatively thick in both wood species but a distinct S3 layer was observable only in the mild compression wood of D. elatum. Although the main feature of the mild com- pression wood tracheids of both wood species was greater lignification of the outer S2 region, autofluorescence and KMnO4 staining showed the fluorescence and staining intensity in the corner middle lamella in some cases to be much stronger than that in the outer part of S2 layer.

Young specimens, shade, coning, top crown and strong shoots give an atypical view. - Beware of hybridisation, especially with plants raised from seed other than wild origin.

Vietnam’s conifer flora has approximately 34 species that are indigenous to the country, making up about 5% of conifers known worldwide. Although conifers represent only less than 0.3% of the total number of higher vascular plant species of Vietnam, they are of great ecological, cultural and economic importance. Most conifer wood is prized for its high value in house construction, furniture making, etc. The decline of conifer populations in Vietnam has caused serious concern among scientists. Threats to conifer species are substantial and varied, ranging from logging (both commercial and subsistence), land clearing for agriculture, and forest fire. Over the past twelve years (1995-2006), Vietnam Botanical Conservation Program (VBCP), a scientific cooperation between the Missouri Botanical Garden in Saint Louis and the Institute of Ecology and Biological Resources in Hanoi, has conducted various studies on this important group of plants in order to gather baseline information necessary to make sound recommendations for their conservation and sustainable use.

To examine the biogeographic history of Tsuga, phylogenetic relationships among multiple accessions of all nine species were inferred using chloroplast DNA sequences and multiple cloned sequences of the nuclear ribosomal ITS region. Analysis of chloroplast and ITS sequences resolve a clade that includes the two western North American species, T. heterophylla and T. mertensiana, and a clade of Asian species within which one of the eastern North American species, T. caroliniana, is nested. The other eastern North American species, T. canadensis, is sister to the Asian clade. Tsuga chinensis from Taiwan did not group with T.

The Yunnan Province of China is wet and warm enough to support magnificent forests. However, many mountains in the region are covered by a shrubland for- mation dominated by an unusual pine, the shrubby and multistemmed Pinus yunnanensis (Yunnan pine; Fig. 1). This formation is natural, and not the product of forest degradation; and fire appears to be a major factor explaining the features of this pine.

(Podocarpaceae) in the Central Highlands of Vietnam inferred by Microsatellites Dinh Duy Vu1*, Quoc Khanh Nguyen1 and Mai Phuong Pham1 Institute of Tropical Ecology, Vietnam - Russia Tropical Center, 63 Nguyen Van Huyen, Ha Noi, Vietnam Abstract: To provide a reference for the conservation and application of breeding parentallines resource of Dacrydium elatum (Roxb.). Genetic diversity and population structure of eighty individuals from four populations (Kon Tum, Gia Lai, Dak Lak and Lam Dong) in Central Highlands were evaluated using eight SSR markers. Based on the SSR data, 21 alleles were detected by eight SSR with high polymorphism. The genetic diversity of levels within the populations were moderately high (Ho = 0.555, He = 0.429). The average number of shannon information index were 0.618 and genetic differentiation among populations was low (Fst=0.097). The AMOVA revealed high genetic variation within individuals (87%) compared among populations (13%). The UPGMA phenogram showed that the results of molecular clustering largely agreed with the pedigree and geographic origin. Three populations (NL, KCR and BDNB) were clustered together and CYS population was separated. The maximum quantity ΔK was observed for K=2 in population structure analysis, indicating that the entire collection could be divided into two main groups of genes. This study can provide a theoretical basis for genetic resource management and varieties identification of D. elatum resources, and provide reference basis for breeding. 1 Introduction Dacrydium elatum (Roxb.)

In this review article we are working on some of the aspects of the one of the conifer genus entitled as the Ketelaleria. This is the genus which has a very narrow distribution in the current era, however the Long history of the plants can E-mail: [email protected] be seen in the late Triassic era. The genus is well distributed in the china and the Vietnam. In India however, few members can be seen but as far as the endemism Keywords: Evolution, Endemic, is concerned these plants are well distributed in the central china.
