  • Artocarpus Integer, Moraceae), and Its Wild Relative Bangkong (Artocarpus Integer Var
    Diversity and origins of an underutilized tropical fruit tree, cempedak (Artocarpus integer, Moraceae), and its wild relative bangkong (Artocarpus integer var. silvestris) A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE PROGRAM IN PLANT BIOLOGY AND CONSERVATION BY MARIA WANG MEI HUA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE IN PLANT BIOLOGY AND CONSERVATION FROM NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY AND THE CHICAGO BOTANIC GARDEN November 20, 2014 1 Abstract The underutilized tropical fruit tree, “cempedak” (Artocarpus integer (Thunb.) Merr. , Moraceae), is a major crop in Malaysia but the distribution of genetic diversity in the crop and its putative wild progenitor, “bangkong” (Artocarpus integer var. silvestris Corner), have not been studied. To investigate the diversity and origins of cempedak, we assessed the genetic diversity of cempedak and bangkong, explored geographic patterns in genetic structure and differentiation, and conducted phylogenetic analyses. We also tested whether cempedak cultivars were true-to- type. We used 12 microsatellite loci to genotype 269 cempedak and 187 bangkong individuals from Peninsular Malaysia, 64 cempedak individuals from Borneo, and 12 cempedak samples from other regions. We found that the number of effective alleles (Ne), allelic richness (Ar), Shannon’s Information Index (I), and expected heterozygosity (He) were higher in bangkong populations than cempedak populations, but cempedak populations harbored alleles not found in bangkong populations. In contrast, Borneo cempedak showed overall lower genetic diversity compared to Peninsular cempedak. Both bangkong and cempedak exhibited weak geographic structure within Peninsular Malaysia; but we found evidence for isolation-by-distance among bangkong populations, as well as increased genetic structure in cempedak at a broader geographic scale.

  • Comparison of Phytochemicals and Antioxidant Properties of Different

The total phenolic, total flavonoid and total carotenoid contents of different parts of the fruits (peel, flesh and seed) were analyzed spectrophotometrically. The antioxidant properties were assessed by DPPH, FRAP and ABTS method. The total phenolic content of all parts of the fruits ranging from 3.53 to 42.38 mg GAE/g of dry sample. The total flavonoid was in the range of 0.82 to 36.78 mg CE/g of dry sample whereas the total carotenoid ranging from 0.67 to 3.30 mg ß-carotene/g of dry sample. The peel and seed displayed higher phytochemical contents (as compared with the flesh) and were found to be efficient radical scavengers and reducing agents. Total phenolic and total flavonoid contents were significantly correlated with the antioxidant activities. However, the total carotenoid was weakly correlated with the antioxidant activities. Due to the findings of this research, it is observed that the phytochemical compounds are the major contributor to the antioxidant activities.

A. 5 Corresponding author ( [email protected] ) Communicating Editor: Anne Bruneau Abstract— Moraceae is a large (~1,050 species) primarily tropical family with several economically and ecologically important species. While its monophyly has been well supported in recent studies, relationships within the family at the tribal level and below remain unresolved. Delimitation of the tribe Artocarpeae has been particularly difficult. Classifications based on morphology differ from those based on phyloge- netic studies, and all treatments include highly heterogeneous assemblages of genera that seem to represent a cross section of the family. We evaluated chloroplast and nuclear DNA sequence data for 60 Moraceae taxa representing all genera that have been included in past treatments of Artocarpeae and also included species from several other Moraceae tribes and closely related families as outgroups. The data were analyzed using maximum parsimony and maximum likelihood methods and indicate that none of the past treatments of Artocarpeae represent a mono- phyletic lineage.

  • COMPARATIVE ANATOMICAL STUDIES on SOME SPECIES of the GENUS Artocarpus

This research was conducted in ten districts in the Banyumas Regency area. Sampling of plants was done randomly selected (purposive random sampling), then the leaves were made preparations for preserved anatomy to determine the anatomical character. The data obtained from the anatomical observations were then analyzed descriptively to obtain anatomical data. There are five members of the genus Artocarpus found in the Banyumas district, namely Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam.), Cempedak (Artocarpus integer (Thunb) Merr.), Breadfruit (Artocarpus altilis [Parkinson] Fosberg), Kluwih (Artocarpus camansi Blanco) and Benda (Artocarpus elasticus Reinw.exe.

WIMMER Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Universiti Brunei Darussalam, Jalan Tungku Link, Gadong BE 1410, Brunei Darussalam The flesh and seeds of ripened and unripened Artocarpus champeden and its ripened hybrid (Nanchem) were analyzed for their moisture, ash, crude fibre, crude protein, crude fat, total carbohydrate, energy and mineral content. Generally, unripened A. champeden which is always treated and cooked as a vegetable contains higher amounts of moisture, ash, crude fibre and crude protein for its flesh than ripenedA. champeden and Nanchem. Ripened A. champeden and Nanchem have higher total carbohydrates and energy content than the unripe fruit. Similarly, the unripened A. champeden seed has more nutritional components in terms of moisture, ash, crude fibre, crude protein, crude fat, total carbohydrate and energy compared to the ripened A. champeden and Nanchem seeds. Potassium and magnesium are the prevalent minerals in this fruit species.

    Flora Malesiana, Series I, Volume 17 / Part 1 (2006) 1–152 MORACEAE GENera OTHer THAN FICUS (C.C. Berg, E.J.H. Corner† & F.M. Jarrett)1 FOREWORD The following treatments of Artocarpus, Hullettia, Parartocarpus, and Prainea are based on the monograph by Jarrett (1959–1960) and on the treatments she made for this Flora in cooperation with Dr. M. Jacobs in the 1970s. These included some new Artocarpus species described in 1975 and the re-instatement of A. peltata. Artocarpus lanceifolius subsp. clementis was reduced to the species, in A. nitidus the subspe- cies borneensis and griffithii were reduced to varieties and the subspecies humilis and lingnanensis included in var. nitidus. The varieties of A. vrieseanus were no longer recognised. More new Malesian species of Parartocarpus were described by Corner (1976), Go (1998), and in Artocarpus by Kochummen (1998). A manuscript with the treatment of the other genera was submitted by Corner in 1972. Numerous changes to the taxonomy, descriptions, and keys have been made to the original manuscripts, for which the present first author is fully responsible.

  • APHIS Establishes an Amended Host List for the Oriental Fruit Fly (Bactrocera Dorsalis)
    FOR INFORMATION AND ACTION DA-2015-54 September 18, 2015 Subject: APHIS Establishes an Amended Host List for the Oriental Fruit Fly (Bactrocera dorsalis) To: State and Territory Agricultural Regulatory Officials Effective immediately, the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) has developed an updated fruit fly host list for the Oriental fruit fly. The Oriental fruit fly is a destructive fruit fly in the Tephritidae family that is native to Asia and that has spread to many parts of the world, most recently to Africa. The Oriental fruit fly attacks more than 400 fruits and vegetables as described in the revised federal host list. The Oriental fruit fly quarantine area can be found at: http://www.aphis.usda.gov/plant-health/ff-quarantine APHIS will regulate the interstate movement of Oriental fruit fly host articles from all quarantine areas in the United States in accordance with the Code of Federal Regulations (7 CFR 301.32) and any applicable provisions of this Federal Order. Since the regulations in 7 CFR 301.32 do not list all of the known regulated (host) articles for Oriental fruit fly, those articles are listed below. The fruit of the plant species listed in the attached Federal Order are now considered regulated articles for Oriental fruit fly, and they are subject to all of the requirements of 7 CFR 301.32: http://www.aphis.usda.gov/plant-health/ff-quarantine For additional information about the Oriental Fruit Fly Program, you may call APHIS National Fruit Fly Policy Manager John Stewart at 919-855-7426 or write him at <[email protected] >.
