The Centre has been in operation for over 30 years, combining scientific research with policy advice and the development of decision tools. We are able to provide objective, scientifically rigorous products and services to help decision -makers recognize the value of biodiversity and apply this knowledge to all that they do. To do this, we collate and verify data on biodiversity and ecosystem services that we analyze and interpret in comprehensive assessments, making the results available in ap propriate forms for national and international level decision-makers and businesses. To ensure that our work is both sustainable and equitable we seek to build the capacity of partners where needed, so that they can provide the same services at national and regional scales.

  • Genetic Variation and DNA Barcoding of the Endangered
    DOI: 10.5152/forestist.2020.20009 2020, 70(2): 85-94 Original Article Genetic variation and DNA barcoding of the endangered agarwood-producing Aquilaria beccariana (Thymelaeaceae) populations from the Malesia Region Malezya Bölgesinde nesli tükenmekte olan Aquilaria beccariana (Thymelaeaceae) popülasyonlarının genetik varyasyonu ve DNA barkodu Yu Cong Pern , Shiou Yih Lee , Norizah Kamarudin , Rozi Mohamed Department of Forest Management, Faculty of Forestry, Universiti Putra Malaysia, Selangor, Malaysia ABSTRACT The endangered agarwood-producing Aquilaria beccariana is reportedly secluded in the southern region of the Malay Peninsula (MPen) and more dispersed in the northern and central regions of the Borneo Island (Bor). The two are geographically separated by the South China Sea. Fresh leaf samples from 47 individuals were collected from six natural populations, including Mersing (MERS) of MPen; Upper Baram (BARA1), Marudi (BARA2), and Lawas (LAWA) of Sarawak; Tongod (TONG) of Sabah, and Kalimantan (KALI) of Indonesia, to study their phylogenetic relationship. Seven non-coding chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) regions and the nuclear internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region were amplified and sequenced using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Several closely related Aquilaria species were included to demonstrate the molecular position of A. beccariana. Phy- logenetic analysis, median-joining (MJ) network, and principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) assembled the six populations into two major clusters, MPen and Bor, when using the combined cpDNA dataset, whereas the Bor populations were further clustered into northern and central populations. DNA barcoding analysis using the combined trnL–trnF+ITS2 loci of 12 Aquilaria species revealed that species discrimination is possible for A. beccariana at both species and population levels.

    International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences 2017, Vol. 7, No. 4 ISSN: 2222-6990 A Review on the Malaysian Aquilaria species in Karas Plantation and Agarwood Production Mohd Fauzi Elias1, Husni Ibrahim1 and Wan Rusmawati Wan Mahamod2 Department of Biology, Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science and Mathematics Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris, Tanjung Malim, Malaysia Corresponding Author Email: [email protected] DOI: 10.6007/IJARBSS/v7-i4/2911 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.6007/IJARBSS/v7-i4/2911 Abstract Malaysia is one of the countries which is rich in its flora and fauna bio-diversity. Malaysian forest products have been exploited since ancient times for its high economic values. One of these high economic value products is agarwood. Thymelaeacea is one medium-size family tree where it is estimated to consist of 50 genera and 900 species of which many can be found in Africa, Australia and Asia. Most species of Aquilaria in Thymelaeaceae family produced agarwood or ‘gaharu’. Aquilaria malaccensis is a species of the highest recorded number of planting by karas tree farmers and known as the primary producer of agarwood in Malaysia. Agarwood is non timber forest product it is one of the precious wood on earth and prized for its rich and wonderful fragrance. Agarwood is formed due to the phathological process as respond to fungal infection or chemically stimulated. This paper seek to understand in general the type of karas trees species most favoured by karas farmers and to know what other similar species that are capable of producing resin for gaharu products.

Mohamed1 Key words Abstract After more than 100 years since the first discovery, Aquilaria rostrata, a critically endangered species listed in the IUCN Red List and presumably extinct, has been rediscovered in Terengganu State of Peninsular Malaysia. Aquilaria Here, we describe the history, taxonomy, ecology and conservation status of this endemic species, and compare conservation status our findings with the species description made from the first and only collection produced prior to this study. In addi- molecular identification tion, we present the similarities between A. rostrata and several Aquilaria species occurring in Peninsular Malaysia Peninsular Malaysia and neighbouring regions using molecular sequence data from the nuclear ribosomal DNA (Internal Transcribed single mutations Spacer) and chloroplast intergenic spacer region (trnL-trnF).
