CNPq Research Productivity Scholarship. *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract Sugar apple (Annona squamosa L.) is a commercially significant fruit species due to its nutritional qualities. The state of Roraima has excellent soil and climatic conditions for the cultivation of the species. However, no studies on the phenological behavior of this plant have been reported in the literature. In this context, the objective of this work was to investigate the vegetative and reproductive phenological behavior of sugar apple under the savanna conditions of the state of Roraima. The experiment was carried out in four seasons of the year (2014/2014 and 2015/2015 rainy season and 2014/2015 and 2015/2016 Summer). Production pruning was carried out in February 2014 (2014.1 cycle), September 2014 (2014.2 cycle), February 2015 (2015.1 cycle) and September 2015 (2015.2 cycle). Forty plants were monitored during the experiment and evaluated every three days for the following variables: beginning date of bud swelling; duration of flowering; and fruit harvest time.

Brannan This thesis investigates the concentration of total phenolics and total flavonoids in pulp extracts of pawpaw harvested in 2008, 2009, and 2010, and the concentration of (+)- catechin and quercetin flavonoids in 2010 pawpaw pulp extracts using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Next, influence of frozen storage and air or vacuum packaging of pawpaw pulp on the concentration of (+)-catechin and quercetin flavonoids was examined. In addition, properties of pawpaw pulp such as moisture content, lipid content, percent sugar, color, and pH were measured. Total phenolics were determined using the Folin-Ciocalteu assay and reported as µmol gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/ g wet tissue. The concentration was observed in the order of 2009 sample (3.91 ± 1.61) < 2008 sample (11.19 ± 0.57) < 2010 sample (14.11 ± 1.90).

Annona Glabra to Be Recorded and Any Necessary Survey and Control in the Vicinity to Be Undertaken
Pond apple is declared a Class A (to be eradicated) and Class C (not to DEPARTMENT OF be introduced) weed in the Northern Territory and is a Weed of National ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES Significance in Australia. Pond apple is a declared weed in accordance with the Weeds Management Act. Pond apple can spread very quickly and is hard to control once established. Preventing further establishment of pond apple in the Northern Territory is the most cost effective and efficient management strategy. Early identification and treatment relies on receiving reports from members of the public. Residents are asked to check their properties for this weed and report suspected Pond apple plants immediately to the Weed Management Branch. Do not attempt to control or dispose of pond apple yourself. The Weed Management Branch will destroy and remove any pond apple trees. This allows the exact location Annona glabra to be recorded and any necessary survey and control in the vicinity to be undertaken.

Rainer* Abstract In the course of monographic studies on the genus Annona (Annonaceae) some cases of nomenclatural and taxonomic changes and need for typifications turned up and are herewith presented. Raimondia is included in Annona due to its general resemblance in morphological and anatomical characters, its species already described as Annona are reestablished, and one new combination is made. The new combinations are Annona cacans WARM, subsp. glabriuscula (R.E.FR.) H.RAWER and Annona deceptrix (WESTRA) H.RAINER. Key words: Annonaceae, Annona, Raimondia, Flora Neotropica, typification. Zusammenfassung Während der monographischen Studien an der Gattung Annona (Annonaceae) wurden einige nomenkla- torische und taxonomische Änderungen evident, sowie in einigen Fällen Typifizierungen notwendig, die hier präsentiert werden. Die Gattung Raimondia wird wegen ihrer weitgehenden Übereinstimmung in mor- phologischen wie anatomischen Merkmalen in Annona eingegliedert. Die schon unter Annona beschriebe- nen Arten werden wiederhergestellt und eine Neukombination durchgeführt. Die beiden Neukombinationen betreffen Annona cacans WARM, subsp. glabriuscula (R.E.FR.)

Introduction In the course of the studies for a monograph of the neotropical taxa of the genus Annona (Annonaceae), the number of collections increased substantially compared to the mate- rial available to FRIES (1931), the last comprehensive treatment of the genus.

Annona Muricata Botanical Name: Annona Muricata Common Name
Annona muricata Botanical name: Annona muricata Common name: Prickly custard apple, soursop Morphological characters: Soursop trees are bushy and low, only about 7.5-9 m tall. Young branchlets are rusty-hairy. The smooth, glossy, dark green leaves are oblong to elliptical and pointed at both ends, 6.25-20 x 2.5-6.25 cm wide. The underside of the leaves is somewhat lighter than the top. Solitary flowers emerge anywhere on the trunk, branches or twigs. They are 4-5 cm long, and cone shaped, the 3 fleshy outer petals are yellow-green, the 3 inner petals are pale- yellow. It is more or less oval or heart-shaped, though it tends to be lopsided or curved. The fruit is fairly variable in size, ranging from 10-30 cm long and up to 15 cm in width. They can weigh as much as 6.8 kg. The fruit is covered with a leathery-appearing, inedible, bitter skin which is covered with many flexible spikes. The skin is dark-green in the immature fruit, becoming slightly yellowish-green before the mature fruit is soft to the touch. The inside of the skin is cream-colored and granular. The white flesh, which is the edible part of the flesh is fibrous and juicy, and separates easily from the rind. The pulp smells a little like a pineapple, but the sweet, acrid flavor is unique and somewhat indescribable. The fruit is segmented, with some segments containing a single oval, smooth, hard, black seed, 1.25-2 cm long. A large fruit may contain from a few dozen to 200 or more seeds.

Herbal tea plays a vital role in human health care system. Annona reticulata L. is well known for its nutritive and medicinal properties. Most important phytochemicals in A. reticulata are alkaloids, tannins, flavonoid and phenolic compounds. Drying also has become a widely used way of food processing allowing the extension of shell life. In this research, we investigated an optimization of different parameters for processing of dried Annona reticulata slices. We penetrated on the investigation of maturity of Annona reticulata fruit, soaking time with Citric acid, blanching time and temperature, sugar concentration and time o soaking, drying temperature to the dried Annona reticulata slice quality. We also monitored product shelf-life during preservation. Our result showed that 2 mm in depth of Annona reticulata slice, deep soaking in Citric acid 0.2% in 30 minutes; blanching at 95oC in 30 seconds; drying at 40 oC to get 7.5% moisture content in the dried Annona reticulata slice.

Fossil Calibration of Magnoliidae, an Ancient Lineage of Angiosperms
Palaeontologia Electronica palaeo-electronica.org Fossil calibration of Magnoliidae, an ancient lineage of angiosperms Julien Massoni, James Doyle, and Hervé Sauquet ABSTRACT In order to investigate the diversification of angiosperms, an accurate temporal framework is needed. Molecular dating methods thoroughly calibrated with the fossil record can provide estimates of this evolutionary time scale. Because of their position in the phylogenetic tree of angiosperms, Magnoliidae (10,000 species) are of primary importance for the investigation of the evolutionary history of flowering plants. The rich fossil record of the group, beginning in the Cretaceous, has a global distribution. Among the hundred extinct species of Magnoliidae described, several have been included in phylogenetic analyses alongside extant species, providing reliable calibra- tion points for molecular dating studies. Until now, few fossils have been used as cali- bration points of Magnoliidae, and detailed justifications of their phylogenetic position and absolute age have been lacking. Here, we review the position and ages for 10 fos- sils of Magnoliidae, selected because of their previous inclusion in phylogenetic analy- ses of extant and fossil taxa. This study allows us to propose an updated calibration scheme for dating the evolutionary history of Magnoliidae. Julien Massoni.
