TO IMPROVE EXISTING PRODUCTS AND DEVELOP NEW ONES Project Title: Developing Leptospermum for cut flowers RIRDC Project No.: DAV-210A Researcher: Mr Tony Slater Organisation: Department of Primary Industries (Victoria) Private Bag 15 Ferntree Gully DC VIC 3156 Phone: 03 9210 9222 Fax: 03 9800 3521 Email: [email protected] Objectives To monitor and evaluate Leptospermum hybrids for vase life, novel colour forms and varying flowering times Background Leptospermum has been identified as a wildflower cut flower crop that is very popular in Australia’s export markets, but is under supplied. The cut flowers are only available for a few weeks, but there are a number of species that are undeveloped as cut flowers, and yet have good characteristics for cultivars to be developed. The genus Leptospermum includes a diverse group of plants. There are a range of flower colours and sizes, and between August and March a member of the group will be in flower. These are important commercial characters for a floral crop, as they allow continual supply to the market, and provide diversity within the crop. During earlier work, the Australian species of Leptospermum with potential for use as cut flowers were assessed for their suitability as cut flowers (Slater et al. 2001). We identified the better forms of each species, and we investigated the postharvest behaviour of the cut flowers, methods to extend the vase life, and looked at the reproductive biology to establish a breeding program. The breeding of Leptospermum targeted the production of superior cut flower forms, by using the best available cut flower forms as parents. The breeding program was extensive with close to 2500 hybrids planted at the field site in East Gippsland 200 km east of Melbourne. The development of superior hybrids with good vase life and a range of colours can only increase the market demand for leptospermums. Research The hybrid seedlings were monitored at the field site over the two flowering seasons of the project. Due to the juvenility period of the seedlings, no plants flower in the first year after planting and few in the second year. Generally the plants needed to be grown for at least 18 months in the field and be over 50 cm tall for flowering to occur. The flowering response desirable for cut flower use occurs in the third and fourth flowering season in the field. 1 When the hybrids flowered, the flowering times were noted and the flowering display and flowers were described. Material was collected for postharvest assessment of each hybrid. The vase life was monitored and the postharvest behaviour described. All the hybrids that had an acceptable vase life, exhibited the ability for mature buds to continue to develop and open after harvest. This will enable these hybrids to be harvested when they are just starting to flower to maximise vase life. From the field and postharvest observations, 22 different Hybrid Styles were described. These Hybrid Styles can be easily distinguished on petal colour, size and other floral characters. A number of cut flower and landscape cultivars should be obtainable from each of the Hybrid Styles. Outcomes A commercialisation strategy has been developed for the Leptospermum cultivars emanating from the breeding program to expedite the release of quality Leptospermum cultivars for a range of market uses both domestically and internationally. In recognition of Longford Flowers investment in the breeding and development of the selections, Longford Flowers has first right to commercial exploitation of the cultivars for a period of 4 years. After this time these cultivars will be made widely available to industry. In recognition of the market opportunities that lie outside the commercial operation of Longford Flowers, the stakeholders also aim to identify advanced selections that have other market opportunities. These advanced selections will be of plant types that are only suitable for pot plant or landscape use, or cut flower styles not required by Longford Flowers. It is envisaged that there will be a strategy to release a number of cultivars each year. This will result in a staggered release of the total pool of cut flower cultivars, rather than a flooding of the market that would result if they were all released at the same time. Implications Twenty-two different hybrid styles have been described, and can be easily distinguished on petal colour, size and other floral characters. These hybrid styles need to still be assessed for the best commercial cultivars, and commercial partners identified to commercialise these cultivars. A large number of hybrids are too young at this stage and are yet to flower for the first time. As these are combinations of parents that have not flowered to date, further hybrid styles and commercial cultivars are likely to arise from these plants. Wildflower growers interested in producing Leptospermum should seek out the superior forms to determine their performance under their growing conditions. The range of species and cultivars flower between late August and early January. This range of flowering times will allow Leptospermum to be marketed over an extended season, and growers have the opportunity to supply the market over this extended season by growing a range of species and cultivars. 2 This project has built on the work and knowledge established in two earlier projects, and has shown the benefit of strategic research that builds on a good foundation.

  • Chapter 19 - Fire: an Ecosystem Sculpture
    Published on Plants in Action (http://plantsinaction.science.uq.edu.au/edition1) Home > Printer-friendly > Printer-friendly Chapter 19 - Fire: an ecosystem sculpture [1] Fires often consume the large fuel loads produced by cane grass at the end of each dry season in Kakadu National Park, Northern Territory. Here a savanna woodland burns vigorously, leaving the sclerophyllous eucalypts blackened but alive and able to regrow in the following season. (Photograph courtesy Michael Douglas) ...and he looked, and behold, the bush burned with fire and bush was not consumed... (Moses in the Book of Exodus) Introduction Fire is a familiar event in those parts of the world where vegetation experiences extended dry periods, such as most of Australia and parts of New Zealand. Fires lit naturally through lightning strikes have occurred for millions of years but more recent changes to fire frequency have been brought about through human presence. Parts of the Australian landscape, for example, have been deliberately burnt for millennia by Aboriginal Australians and even more intensively burnt since European settlement. Changes to a landscape after burning are catastrophic where extreme climatic conditions and fuel loads sustain a conflagration that releases 100 000 kW along a one metre front, whereas small ground fires might do little more than singe leaf litter. Section 19.1 gives an analysis of energy release by fires in relation to vegetation types. Interactions between fire and many environmental factors such as drought, frost and herbivore attack have imposed strong selective pressures on our major plant families. Indeed, the features outlined in Section 19.2 that contribute to survival of much of Australia’s vegetation after fire are best thought of as adaptations to ‘fire regimes’, the interacting factors that are seen in fire-prone environments.

  • Banksia Attenuata Woodlands Over Species Rich Dense Shrublands (Swan Coastal Plain Community Type 20A – Gibson Et Al
    Interim Recovery Plan for Community 20a Interim Recovery Plan No. 359 Banksia attenuata woodlands over species rich dense shrublands (Swan Coastal Plain Community type 20a – Gibson et al. 1994) Interim Recovery Plan 2016-2021 August 2016 1 Interim Recovery Plan for Community 20a Foreword Interim Recovery Plans (IRPs) are developed within the framework laid down in Department of Parks and Wildlife (previously Department of Environment and Conservation) Corporate Policy Statement No. 35 and Corporate Guideline No. 35. Recovery plans outline the recovery actions that are required to urgently address those threatening processes most affecting the ongoing survival of threatened taxa or ecological communities, and begin the recovery process. The Department is committed to ensuring that threatened ecological communities are conserved through the preparation and implementation of recovery plans or interim recovery plans and by ensuring that conservation action commences as soon as possible after listing. This plan will operate from August 2016 but will remain in force until withdrawn or replaced. It is intended that, if the community is still listed after five years, the need for an updated plan will be evaluated. This plan was approved by the Director of Science and Conservation on 10 August 2016. The provision of funds identified in this plan is dependent on budgetary and other constraints affecting Parks and Wildlife, as well as the need to address other priorities. Information in this plan was accurate at August 2016 . Plan preparation: This
