ON TUE OCCURRENCE of WARTY STRUCTURES in RATTAN Jianhua Xu 1 & Walter Liese2
IAWA Journal, Val. 20 (4),1999: 389-393 ON TUE OCCURRENCE OF WARTY STRUCTURES IN RATTAN by Jianhua Xu 1 & Walter Liese 2 SUMMARY A study on cellular details of rattan sterns by the resin casting method revealed the presence of wart-like structures as apposition on the cell wall of metaxylem vessels, protoxylem tracheids, fibres and also paren chyma. They were apparent for some species, but not observed in oth ers. Conventional SEM confirmed the presence of warts with a con siderable variation in occurrence. Therefore they have only limited taxonomic significance for the rattans. Key words: Warts, rattan, wood anatomy, resin casting method, scan ning electron microscopy. INTRODUCTION The occurrence ofwarty structures respectively vestures as an apposition on cell walls and pit chambers in tracheids, fibres and vessels of gymnosperms and angiosperms has been extensively reviewed by Jansen et al. (1998). In contrast, records for mono cotyledons are rare. In bamboo they were reported for Dendrocalamus (Liese 1957) and further investigated by Parameswaran and Liese (1977) in 34 species, of which about half exhibited wart-like structures in fibres, vessels and parenchyma cells. For pa1ms wart-1ike particles were identified in the parenchyma cells of Mauritiaflexuosa (Hong & Killmann 1992). Detailed investigations on the structure of numerous rattan palms did so far not reveal any such structures (Bhat et al. 1990, 1993, Weiner & Liese 1990; Weiner 1992). This lack of information does not necessarily indicate their absence, but may also be related to the material investigated. Warts are generally small particles on the tertiary wall/S3 layer. Their size for fibres and vessel members ofbamboo ranges between 150-300 nm. -
Status and Potential of Wild Edible Plants of Arunachal Pradesh

The indigenous communities continuously include wild edibles to their daily food intake and sales from the surplus add to their income. Simultaneously, an emphasis on the sustainable harvesting of wild edible plants will help enhance and maintain the region’s biodiversity. As the local people are endowed with a vast knowledge concerning the utilization of wild plants, the paper focuses on their knowledge and illustrates the need to select local priority plant species with potential to become valuable staple foods and important alternatives to the usual cultivated agricultural crops.

In Cambodia, 18 species have been recorded so far and most of them are daily used by local communities and supplying the rattan industry. Meanwhile, with rattan resources decreasing due to over-harvesting and loss of forest ecosystem there is an urgent need to stop this trend and find ways to conserve this biodiversity that play an important economic role for the country. This manual is one step towards sustainable rattan management as it allows to show/display the diversity of rattan and its contribution. -
