  • Integrated Metabolome and Transcriptome Analysis of Magnolia
    Dhandapani et al. BMC Genomics (2017) 18:463 DOI 10.1186/s12864-017-3846-8 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Integrated metabolome and transcriptome analysis of Magnolia champaca identifies biosynthetic pathways for floral volatile organic compounds Savitha Dhandapani1,2, Jingjing Jin1, Vishweshwaran Sridhar1, Rajani Sarojam1, Nam-Hai Chua3 and In-Cheol Jang1,2* Abstract Background: Magnolia champaca, commonly known as champak is a well-known tree due to its highly fragrant flowers. Champak floral scent is attributed to a complex mix of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These aromatic flowers are widely used in flavors and fragrances industry. Despite its commercial importance, the VOC biosynthesis pathways in these flowers are largely unknown. Here, we combine metabolite and RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) analyses of fully opened champak flowers to discover the active VOC biosynthesis pathways as well as floral scent-related genes. Results: Volatile collection by headspace method and analysis by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) identified a total of 43 VOCs from fully opened champak flowers, of which 46.9% were terpenoids, 38.9% were volatile esters and 5.2% belonged to phenylpropanoids/benzenoids. Sequencing and de novo assembly of champak flower transcriptome yielded 47,688 non-redundant unigenes. Transcriptome assembly was validated using standard polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based approach for randomly selected unigenes. The detailed profiles of VOCs led to the discovery of pathways and genes involved in floral scent biosynthesis from RNA-seq data. Analysis of expression levels of many floral-scent biosynthesis-related unigenes in flowers and leaves showed that most of them were expressed higher in flowers than in leaf tissues.

  • A Note on Magnolia, Mainly of Sections Manglietia and Michelia Subgenus
    A note on Magnolia, mainly of sections Manglietia and Michelia subgenus Magnolia (Magnoliaceae) A note of caution concerning the ultimate heights that may be achieved in cultivation by numerous of the newer evergreen magnolias from Asia, is the theme of this article by CHRIS CALLAGHAN and S. K. PNG of the Australian Bicentennial Arboretum (ABA). Following Thomas Methuen-Campbell’s interesting report in the 2011 IDS Yearbook concerning the study weekend held in June of that year at RHS Wisley, Surrey, to discuss “summer” flowering magnolias (see Endnote), the authors thought they should write to mention an important consideration before contemplating planting of these trees in gardens, or indeed any tree in a garden, particularly the average small garden. We are not sure if the ultimate size of many of these magnolias was discussed with those attending the study weekend, since most of their maximum known heights were not mentioned in the article. However, we believe any readers tempted by the article to purchase and plant out most of the evergreen magnolias featured (previously in the genera Manglietia, Michelia or Parakmeria) in a normal suburban front or backyard in relatively 46 warm, sheltered, near frost-free areas, will be ultimately dismayed by the sizes they reach (see Figlar 2009 for reasons behind the reduction of genera). Even allowing that these predominantly warm-temperate to sub-tropical forest trees may not achieve their maximum potential sizes in the milder regions of temperate Europe, most are still likely to overtop (and overshadow!) two or three storey homes or apartments, especially with a warming climate.

  • Issue 67 16-19 Some Reflections on Evergreen
    MAGNOLIA ISSUE 67 Some Reflections on Evergreen Magnolia Matings S. Christopher Early About thirty-five years ago I was in California visiting some of the scientific companies we represented here in the southeast. At that time, I was fortunate to acquire some cuttings of Manglieriai nsigttis and Mugtralia coco. I was told rhat M i nsr'gttis was difficult to mot, and as it turned out, I coco uas much easier. To root the M. insignis, I inserted the cuttings in a medium of perlite, which I placed in a wire screen basket and suspended over the top of a large wastebasket. I added water to the wastebasket and rigged a 100-watt bulb between the water and the growing medium. To aerate the water, I used a small fish tank pump. One cutting rooted! When this cutting grew into a small tree in our atrium, it intermittently bore a few pink flowers with nearly invisible pollen (see photo). (I must say this plant has an ephemeral blooming habit as to year and time of year!) The pistils on one or two of the M. ittsignis flowers accepted pollen from a version of M vireos'ni rnd found near Savannah, which I call " "Savannah. (The ofFspring of this version of M virginiatta often bloom as smal! plants along the highway and are cut down by the mowers. ) The result of this cross formed seed from which I grew six plants, two of which were about nvelve feet tall. In 1997, one of the two tall seedlings bloomed with pink flowers about the size of the Manglietia.

  • The Role of the Francisco Javier Clavijero Botanic Garden
    Research article The role of the Francisco Javier Clavijero Botanic Garden (Xalapa, Veracruz, Mexico) in the conservation of the Mexican flora El papel del Jardín Botánico Francisco Javier Clavijero (Xalapa, Veracruz, México) en la conservación de la flora mexicana Milton H. Díaz-Toribio1,3 , Victor Luna1 , Andrew P. Vovides2 Abstract: Background and Aims: There are approximately 3000 botanic gardens in the world. These institutions cultivate approximately six million plant species, representing around 100,000 taxa in cultivation. Botanic gardens make an important contributionex to situ conservation with a high number of threat- ened plant species represented in their collections. To show how the Francisco Javier Clavijero Botanic Garden (JBC) contributes to the conservation of Mexican flora, we asked the following questions: 1) How is vascular plant diversity currently conserved in the JBC?, 2) How well is this garden perform- ing with respect to the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC) and the Mexican Strategy for Plant Conservation (MSPC)?, and 3) How has the garden’s scientific collection contributed to the creation of new knowledge (description of new plant species)? Methods: We used data from the JBC scientific living collection stored in BG-BASE. We gathered information on species names, endemism, and endan- gered status, according to national and international policies, and field data associated with each species. Key results: We found that 12% of the species in the JBC collection is under some risk category by international and Mexican laws. Plant families with the highest numbers of threatened species were Zamiaceae, Orchidaceae, Arecaceae, and Asparagaceae. We also found that Ostrya mexicana, Tapirira mexicana, Oreopanax capitatus, O.

  • MAGNOLIA Genus Overview Magnolia Is a Large and Diverse
    MAGNOLIA Genus Overview Magnolia is a large and diverse genus named by Linnaeus in honor of French botanist Pierre Magnol. In an evolutionary sense, it is an extremely old group of plants with fossil records dating back about 95 million years. Having evolved before bees and other flying insects, the flowers of magnolias are actually adapted for pollination by beetles that are attracted by sweet substances produced in the flowers. Another primitive trait is evident in their lack of true petals. The large “petals” of Magnolias are actually termed tepals. Also seen in tulips, these are more akin to modified leaves that cannot be visually distinguished from the other lower parts of the flower, or calyx. Magnolias are found across the Northern Hemisphere with disjunct populations in eastern North, Central and South America and the West Indies. The largest concentration of species is found in eastern and southeastern Asia. The genus has been cultivated for centuries and has given us numerous ornamental species, cultivars and hybrids. Most of these are known for their dazzling springtime display of flowers in shades of white, pink and yellow. Recent molecular analysis has lead taxonomists to combine the closely related genera Michelia and Manglietia with Magnolia, thus greatly increasing the number of recognized species. Over 100 examples of Magnolia species and cultivars are currently in residence at the UDBG. 1: Magnolia virginiana Sweetbay Magnolia enjoys an extensive natural range, occurring with relative frequency from coastal Long Island, NY and New Jersey to Southern Florida and across the gulf coast to Eastern Texas. Interestingly, the species boasts two disjunct populations in both its extreme northerly and southerly haunts.

We used a stratified random sampling scheme for 21 woody stands along a small-scale (352 m) elevational transect.
