Freschet Tel: +33 5 61 04 05 90 Email: [email protected] 2 Summary In the context of a recent massive increase into research on plant root functions and their impact on the environment, root ecologists currently face many important challenges to keep on producing cutting edge, meaningful and integrated knowledge. Consideration of the belowground components in plant and ecosystem studies has been consistently called for in recent decades, but methodology is disparate and sometimes inappropriate. This handbook, based on the collective effort of a large team of experts, is to be used not only as starting point by students and scientists who desire working on belowground ecosystems but also by confirmed experts for consolidating and broadening their views on root ecology. Beyond the classical compilation of measurement protocols, we have synthesized recommendations from the literature to provide key background knowledge useful for (i) defining belowground entities and giving keys for their meaningful dissection, classification and naming beyond the classical fine- versus coarse-root approach, (ii) considering the specificity of root research to produce sound laboratory and field data, (iii) describing typical but overlooked steps for studying roots, e.g. root handling, cleansing and storage, and (iv) gathering of meta-data necessary for the interpretation of results and their re-use. Most importantly, all root traits have been introduced with some degree of ecological context that will be a foundation for understanding their ecological meaning, their typical use and uncertainties, and some methodological and conceptual perspectives for future research. Considering all of this, we urge readers to not solely extract protocol recommendations for trait measurements from this monograph, but take a moment to sit down, read and reflect on the extensive information contained in this broader guide to root ecology, including parts I to VII and the many introductions to each section and root trait description. Finally, it is critical to understand that a major aim of this guide is to help break down barriers between the many subdisciplines of root ecology and ecophysiology, broaden researchers’ views on the multiple aspects of root study and create favourable conditions for the inception of comprehensive experiments on the role of roots in plant and ecosystem functioning. 3 Author contributions GTF initiated and coordinated the handbook project.

Multiple campus Janakpur, Nepal [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper documents the wild edible fruits of tropical and subtropical forest of Palpa District, West Nepal. Thirty-seven plant species under 17 families and 27 genera were identifi ed as wild edible fruit. Over 86% percent of them were trees and shrubs (32 species), 11% herbs (4 species) and the remaining 3% (1 species) woody climbers. Moraceae (9 species), Rosaceae (7 species), Anacardiaceae, Berberidaceae, Combretaceae, Fabaceae, Solanaceae and Rutaceae (2 species each) were the most common families constituting about 75.7% of edible plants. The remaining 24.3% (9 species) of edible plants were distributed among 9 families and 9 genera. A considerable number of wild fruits are sold in market. These are Aegle marmelos, Artocarpus integra, Artocarpus lakoocha, Choerospondias axillaris, Myrica esculenta, Phoenix humilis, Phyllanthus emblica, Prunus persica, Pyracantha crenulata,Tamarindus indica, Terminalia bellirica, Terminalia chebula, Zanthoxylum armatum and Zizyphus mauritiana. Medicinal uses of some major economically important fruits are also documented. Keywords: tropical, subtropical forest, medicinal uses, wild fruits, sweet nuggets INTRODUCTION Wild edible fruits play an important role in the economy of rural people especially living in the hilly region by providing them food and also in generating side income. They collect the wild edible fruits from forest and sold in market regularly. The rural people have better knowledge of wild edible fruits as they visit the forest regularly and have constant association and dependence on these forests and its products for their livelihood.

  • Chapter 19 Role of Root Clusters in Phosphorus
    CHAPTER 19 ROLE OF ROOT CLUSTERS IN PHOSPHORUS ACQUISITION AND INCREASING BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY IN AGRICULTURE H. LAMBERS AND M.W. SHANE School of Plant Biology, Faculty of Natural and Agricultural Sciences, The University of Western Australia, 35 Stirling Highway, Crawley, WA 6009, Australia. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. Soils in the south-west of Western Australia and South Africa are among the most phosphorus- impoverished in the world, and at the same time both of these regions are Global Biodiversity Hotspots. This unique combination offers an excellent opportunity to study root adaptations that are significant in phosphorus (P) acquisition. A large proportion of species from these P-poor environments cannot produce an association with mycorrhizal fungi, but, instead, produce ‘root clusters’. In Western Australia, root- cluster-bearing Proteaceae occur on the most P-impoverished soils, whereas the mycorrhizal Myrtaceae tend to inhabit the less P-impoverished soils in this region. Root clusters are an adaptation both in structure and in functioning; characterized by high densities of short lateral roots that release large amounts of exudates, in particular carboxylates (anions of di- and tri-carboxylic acids). The functioning of root clusters in Proteaceae (’proteoid’ roots) and Fabaceae (‘cluster’ roots) has received considerable attention, but that of ‘dauciform’ root clusters developed by species in Cyperaceae has barely been explored. Research on the physiology of ‘capillaroid’ root clusters formed by species in Restionaceae has yet to be published. Root-cluster initiation and growth in species of the Cyperaceae, Fabaceae and Proteaceae are systemically stimulated when plants are grown at a very low P supply, and are suppressed as leaf P concentrations increase.

  • (Lapsi) Choerospondias Axillaris
    Andrea Patehviri November 18, 2014 AGR*2150 Prof Raizada Nepalese Choerospondias axillaris (lapsi) Choerospondias axillaris (lapsi) is a tree that shows remarkable potential for export to Canada, much to the benefit of Nepalese farmers. A tree native to far western Nepal, it is a crop that is unfortunately very underexploited. There are many aspects of the tree which indicate that it may be beneficial to cultivate it more frequently, and open it up to international trade. Its potential is already evident through the fact that the tree is distributed from “north-east India to south-east China and Japan … Vietnam, [and] Thailand” (Poudel, 2003:55). The first aspect of the tree that shows potential is its fruit. The fruit is sold between October and January, with the price being equal to that of the mandarin orange (Poudel, 2003:56). In Kathmandu alone, the transactions of the fruit was estimated at $1 million US in 2003, which is over 50 million Nepalese Rupees (Poudel, 2003:56). The flower of the tree is currently used to make candies and pickles (Kunwar, Mahat, Sharma, Shrestha, Kominee, Bussmann; 2012:596). The fruit is rich in essential amino acids, including “Arginine (106 mg/100gm), glutamic acid (36 mg/100gm) glutamine (32 mg/100gm); vitamin C and minerals such as potassium (355 mg/100gm), calcium (57 mg/100gm) and magnesium (34 mg/100gm)” (Poudel, 2003:56). The fruit is already popular with tourists, and this fact, along with its obvious health benefits, indicate that it could quite possibly become popular in western nations, especially within herbal medicine stores, were it to be made into a pill form.

(Received 2 July 2009 : Accepted 2 March 2010) ABSTRACT: The Illam district, situated in the extreme North Eastern part (Latitude 26.58N and 87.58E Lon- gitude) of Nepal, is a hot spot for floral diversity. The study of wild edible plants of this region was an attempt to highlight the types of wild flowering plants found there and mode of use by the people of the Illam hills. In this respect, a survey of natural resources of some of the representative regions of the district was undertaken and more than 74 major varieties of plant species were found to be used frequently by the people of the hills. The rich diversity occurring in Dioscoriaceae, Moraceae, Rosaceae, Myrtaceae, Poaceae, Urticaceae and Arecaceae pro- vided the wild angiospermic species commonly used by the people of the hills. Keywords: Natural resources, wild edible, flowering plants, Illam hills Nepal is endowed with a wide range of agro-ecological zones, summer between the months of May and September. Due to large variations in climatic and physiographic conditions, which this wide array of climatic zones, the district is a hot spot for have resulted in a rich flora (Olsen, 1998).

  • Root Exudates of Banksia Species from Different Habitats – a Genus-Wide Comparison
    Root exudates of Banksia species from different habitats – a genus-wide comparison Erik J. Veneklaas, Hans Lambers and Greg Cawthray School of Plant Biology, University of Western Australia, Crawley WA 6009, Australia. Ph: +61 8 9380 3584 Fax: +61 8 9380 1108 e-mail: [email protected] Abstract The genus Banksia is a uniquely Australian plant group. Banksias dominate the physiognomy and ecology of several Australian plant communities. Flowers and fruits of several species are successful export products. The physiology of nutrient uptake is of great importance for this genus, particularly since the soils on which Banksias occur are extremely low in nutrients. All Banksias possess proteoid (cluster) roots that exude a range of carboxylates into the rhizosphere. Carboxylates act to enhance the availability of nutrients, particularly phosphorus, but the efficiency of different carboxylates varies with soil type. We examined the hypothesis that Banksia species with different soil preferences differ in the amount and composition of rhizosphere carboxylates. Our data show that, when grown in a standardised substrate, the 57 Banksia species studied, exude roughly similar carboxylates into their rhizosphere, predominantly citrate. We found no evidence for phylogenetically determined differences, or correlations with species’ soil preferences. This may indicate that the conditions in the topsoil and litter layer in all Banksia habitats are sufficiently similar for these carboxylates to be effective. Alternatively, species differences were not expressed in the single substrate that was used. Ongoing research explores the ability of Banksias to adjust exudation patterns to contrasting soils, and the impact on growth and nutrient uptake. Keywords Banksia – root exudates - carboxylates – rhizosphere – soils - phylogeny Introduction Roots of several native and cultivated species exude large amounts of carboxylates, particularly when growing in soils with low concentrations of available phosphorus.
