H awkeswood , James R. Turner and Richard W. Wells Abstract: New larval host plant records and further biological data are recorded for the large and distinctive Australian longicorn beetle,Agrianome spinicollis (Macleay) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae). The presently known larval host plants are listed and original references cited. The adults are not known to feed and no data on adult hosts have ever been recorded. The suite of published larval host plants indicate that rainforest as well as woodland and sclerophyll forest communities are inhabited by this beetle. SinceAgrianome species are primitive cerambycids, it is suggested here that A.spinicollis originated (evolved first) in rainforest and as the Australian continental landmass dried out climatically, and sclerophylly evolved, the beetle adapted to plants belonging to these new plant communities.

  • Integrated Approach to Nitrogen Fixing Tree Germplasm Development
    INTEGRATED APPROACH TO NITROGEN FIXING TREE GERMPLASM DEVELOPMENT JAKE HALLIDAY' ABSTRACT - The performance of nitrogen fixing trees introduced to new environments depends on proper reconstitution of the symbiotic associatioi on which the trees rely for their nutrition. Thus selection strategies employed to identify adapted g.rmplasm for particular sites must provide for three-way selection of seed, rhiobia and mycorrhizae. Selected lines must then be multiplied before they can be deployed in varying types of development programs. Speciai problems are faced in accomplishing these ends with virtually all nitrogen fixing tr-es. Results and experiences are described which emphasize the importance of parallel selection of plant germplasm and Rhizobiurn strains. '.n the case of VA mycorrhizae, effective symbioses can occur without specific inoculation. Methods for selecting and multiplying trees and their microsymbionts on a large scale are described and discussed. Index terms: mycorrhiza technology, Rhizobium technology, nitrogen fixing trees, plant selection, seed technology.

  • Contributions to the Solution of Phylogenetic Problem in Fabales
    Research Article Bartın University International Journal of Natural and Applied Sciences Araştırma Makalesi JONAS, 2(2): 195-206 e-ISSN: 2667-5048 31 Aralık/December, 2019 CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE SOLUTION OF PHYLOGENETIC PROBLEM IN FABALES Deniz Aygören Uluer1*, Rahma Alshamrani 2 1 Ahi Evran University, Cicekdagi Vocational College, Department of Plant and Animal Production, 40700 Cicekdagi, KIRŞEHIR 2 King Abdulaziz University, Department of Biological Sciences, 21589, JEDDAH Abstract Fabales is a cosmopolitan angiosperm order which consists of four families, Leguminosae (Fabaceae), Polygalaceae, Surianaceae and Quillajaceae. The monophyly of the order is supported strongly by several studies, although interfamilial relationships are still poorly resolved and vary between studies; a situation common in higher level phylogenetic studies of ancient, rapid radiations. In this study, we carried out simulation analyses with previously published matK and rbcL regions. The results of our simulation analyses have shown that Fabales phylogeny can be solved and the 5,000 bp fast-evolving data type may be sufficient to resolve the Fabales phylogeny question. In our simulation analyses, while support increased as the sequence length did (up until a certain point), resolution showed mixed results. Interestingly, the accuracy of the phylogenetic trees did not improve with the increase in sequence length. Therefore, this study sounds a note of caution, with respect to interpreting the results of the “more data” approach, because the results have shown that large datasets can easily support an arbitrary root of Fabales. Keywords: Data type, Fabales, phylogeny, sequence length, simulation. 1. Introduction Fabales Bromhead is a cosmopolitan angiosperm order which consists of four families, Leguminosae (Fabaceae) Juss., Polygalaceae Hoffmanns.

Willow trees in the Eastern States waterways that were previously thought to spread only from broken branches are now spreading through seedlings as well. Deciduous trees have been widely planted Hybrid species are common, and are often much more vigorous than the parent species (Cremer 1999). in many parts of Australia, both as river The threat to water quality is much greater and more bank stabilisers and for their attractive immediate. There is an increasing trend for landscapers of ‘European’ appearance. Unfortunately, new housing estates to plant deciduous trees throughout the deciduous trees are not suited to the subdivision, leading to a large increase in organic matter Australian environment in many ways. In entering drainage systems and waterways in late autumn/early winter. the Eastern States, willows in particular have become aggressive weeds spreading along streamlines. They can cause blockage of rivers and streams, excessive eutrophication and displacement of native flora and fauna. An extensive campaign is now underway in the Eastern States to control the problem. Deciduous trees in Western Australia In Western Australia, a wide variety of deciduous trees have been planted, mainly for aesthetic reasons. Commonly planted trees include the following: Weeping Willows along the Brunswick River.
