    HOYA NEW Oh There it is ! American Samoa, trees dripping with Hoyas 1 A pdf publication devoted to the Genus Hoya ISSN 2329-7336 Volume 2 Issue 4 July 2014 Editor: Dale Kloppenburg Contents When a species is collected from the wild, I feel it is wise to identify it, propagate it and name it. In this way it will eventually get it into commercial channels, be distributed to all those interested in this genus and thus be preserved. If in the future the species is lost through natural causes or forest destruction it will still be here on earth in your collection. Corrections: Vol. 2 – 2 May 2014, Katherine Challis at IPNI has pointed out that “stemma” is a singular neuter III so the endings on the two following Eriostemma species should be (corrected) as follows.

  • Hoya Australis Subsp. Oramicola (A Vine)
    Advice to the Minister for the Environment and Heritage from the Threatened Species Scientific Committee on Amendments to the list of Threatened Species under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) 1. Scientific name (common name) Hoya australis subsp. oramicola (a vine) 2. Description Hoya australis subsp. oramicola is an evergreen, perennial vine with succulent leaves that grow to approximately 10cm long. Its flowers are cream coloured and fleshy, with flowering recorded during March and July. Fruiting occurs three to four months after flowering. 3. National Context Hoya australis subsp. oramicola is endemic to the Northern Territory. The subspecies is restricted to coastal monsoon vine thicket communities on Bathurst and Melville Islands, where it is known from four localities (Kerrigan et al 2004). The subspecies is currently listed as vulnerable under the Northern Territory Territory Parks and Wildlife Conservation Act 2000. 4. How judged by the Committee in relation to the EPBC Act criteria. The Committee judges the subspecies to be eligible for listing as vulnerable under the EPBC Act. The justification against the criteria is as follows: Criterion 1 – It has undergone, is suspected to have undergone or is likely to undergo in the immediate future a very severe, severe or substantial reduction in numbers. Hoya australis subsp. oramicola is endemic to the Northern Territory. The subspecies is restricted to coastal monsoon vine thicket communities on Bathurst and Melville Islands, where it is known from four localities (Kerrigan et al 2004). Very little data on abundance is available for this subspecies. Russell-Smith (1992) records this subspecies as common at Lubra Point on Bathurst Island and uncommon at Condor Point on Melville Island.

  • Life Cycle Cost of Air Plant Green Roofs in Hot and Humid Climate
    I J A B E R, Vol. 14, No. 10 (2016):Life 7167-7182 Cycle Cost of Air Plant Green Roofs in Hot and Humid Climate l 7167 LIFE CYCLE COST OF AIR PLANT GREEN ROOFS IN HOT AND HUMID CLIMATE Tachaya Sangkakool* and Kuaanan Techato2* Abstract: The benefitsof green roofshave beenrecognizedby many researchers worldwide.Green roofs have been wildly implemented in many countries due to the trend of green architecture, sustainable architecture and environmental friendly concept. The computational life cycle cost of air plant green roofs is classified into two parts. One is the initial investment, which compos- es of the cost of materials and installation process. Another is the cost of operation and main- tenance. This paper has investigated in the economics of green roofs by reviewing secondary data of extensive green roof and intensive green roofs and collecting experimental data of air plant green roofs. The investigation of life cycle cost of “Cotton Candy” air plant green roofs is around 140.21$/m2 and “Spanish moss” air plant green roofs is around 125.78 $/m2. Although the digit is lower than other types of green roofs, the benefit is almost the same. It was found from the research that life cycle cost of air plant green roof is less than other types of green roof. However, the benefits are not different from other type of the roof. Another strengthof air plant green roofs is shading to the roof of the building. These will extend the life cycle of the roof. The consideration of life cycle cost of air plant green roofs will be another tool using in making final decision.

Individuals were examined within the canopies of host trees in open, exposed situations, as well as in dense forests. Although night time CO2 concentrations were higher near the epiphytic vines at night, relative to those measured during the day, presumably the result of CO2 added to the canopy air by the host tree, no evidence for substantial use of this CO2 was found. In particular, stable carbon isotope ratios of H. carnosa were not substantially lower than those of many other CAM plants, as would be expected if host-respired CO2 were an important source of CO2 for these CAM epiphytes.

Renner a a Systematic Botany, Ludwig Maximilians University Munich, Menzinger Strasse 67, D-80638 Munich, Germany b Swedish Museum of Natural History, Box 50007, SE-10405 Stockholm, Sweden Received 13 September 2005; revised 29 December 2005; accepted 9 January 2006 Available online 3 March 2006 Abstract Hoya (Marsdenieae, Apocynaceae) includes at least 200 species distributed from India to the PaciWc Islands. We here infer major spe- cies groups in the genus based on combined sequences from the chloroplast atpB-rbcL spacer, the trnL region, and nuclear ribosomal DNA ITS region for 42 taxa of Hoya and close relatives. To assess levels of ITS polymorphism, ITS sequences for a third of the acces- sions were obtained by cloning. Most ITS clones grouped by species, indicating that speciation in Hoya usually predates ITS duplication. One ITS sequence of H. carnosa, however, grouped with a sequence of the morphologically similar H. pubicalyx, pointing to recent hybridization or the persistence of paralogous copies through a speciation event. The topology resulting from the combined chloroplast and nuclear data recovers some morphology-based sections, such as Acanthostemma and Eriostemma, as well as a well-supported Austra- lian/New Guinean clade. The combined data also suggest that morphological adaptations for ant-symbiosis evolved at least three times within Hoya. © 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Summary LÜTTGE U. 2000. Light-stress and crassulacean acid metabolism. - Phyton (Horn, Austria) 40 (3): (65) - (82). Environmental cues driving the evolution and diversification of plants with crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) are widely accepted to have been primarily CO2 (HCO3") supply and subsequently H2O supply. Light-stress is largely considered to act via amplification of water stress. Can light-stress per se affect CAM? CAM plants show various ways of acclimation to high light. In the field sun exposed CAM plants (e.g. rosettes of bromeliads, Aloe; Kalanchoe species) often respond with changes of pigmentation from dark green to strongly red or yellow. Changes in xanthophyll-cycle capacity serving thermal dissipation of excess photosynthetic excitation energy have been shown. Acclimation often seems to be strongly related to N-nutrition. CAM plants are known to be subject to acute and chronic photoinhibition. This was mostly related to phases when they perform C3-photosynthesis, i.e. in the early morning (phase II) and especially in the afternoon (phase IV).

  • CAM) and Mineral Nutrition with a Special Focus on Nitrogen
    International Journal of Molecular Sciences Review Exploring the Relationship between Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM) and Mineral Nutrition with a Special Focus on Nitrogen Paula Natália Pereira and John C. Cushman * Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Nevada, Reno, NV 89557, USA * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-(775)-784-1918; Fax: +1-(775)-784-1419 Received: 15 July 2019; Accepted: 2 September 2019; Published: 5 September 2019 Abstract: Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) is characterized by nocturnal CO2 uptake and concentration, reduced photorespiration, and increased water-use efficiency (WUE) when compared to C3 and C4 plants. Plants can perform different types of CAM and the magnitude and duration of CAM expression can change based upon several abiotic conditions, including nutrient availability. Here, we summarize the abiotic factors that are associated with an increase in CAM expression with an emphasis on the relationship between CAM photosynthesis and nutrient availability, with particular focus on nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and calcium. Additionally, we examine nitrogen uptake and assimilation as this macronutrient has received the greatest amount of attention in studies using CAM species. We also discuss the preference of CAM species for different organic and inorganic sources of nitrogen, including nitrate, ammonium, glutamine, and urea. Lastly, we make recommendations for future research areas to better understand the relationship between macronutrients and CAM and how their interaction might improve nutrient and water-use efficiency in order to increase the growth and yield of CAM plants, especially CAM crops that may become increasingly important as global climate change continues. Keywords: ammonium; crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM); nitrate; nitrogen; nutrient availability; organic nitrogen sources 1.
