Fosberg) [Syn. A. communis Forst.; A. incisa L.f] is a member ofthe Moreaceae family and includes trees such as the mulberrys (Morus and Broussonetia spp.), the figs (Ficus spp.) and the rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis). Within this family breadfruit belongs to the genus Artocarpus, which contains approximately 50 species oftrees that grow in the tropical regions ofSoutheast Asia and the Pacific Islands (Barrau, 1976; Popenoe, 1920; Purseglove, 1968). Some of its closest relatives within this genus include A. heterophyllus, jackfruit, and A. integer, champedak. Breadfruit is generally divided into two types - those with seeds and those without. Artocarpus altilis is the name generally given to seedless breadfruit types typical ofPolynesia, however, fruit ofA. altilis can also contain seeds. Artocarpus camansi Blanco, or breadnut, has fruit containing many seeds and has been distinguished as a separate species due to distinct morphological features, such as shape ofanthocarp, shape offruit base, male spike, stigma, and leaves (Coronel, 1983). There is another species ofbreadfruit found in the Pacific Islands known as A. mariannensis Trecul. Known as dugdug and chebiei in its native islands, A. mariannensis is a wild, seeded breadfruit that is morphologically distinct from A. altiUs. AFLP (Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphisms) data suggests that A. camansi and A. mariannensis are distinct species and are both involved in the evolution ofA. altilis as a 1 cultivated crop (Zerega and Motley, 2001). In Micronesia, hybridization between A. mariannensis and A. a/titis has occurred creating numerous cultivars, which share characters ofboth species (Coenan and Barrau, 1961; Ragone, 1991b, 1997). 1.2 Botanical Description Breadfruit is a large evergreen tree that can reach heights up to 25 meters. The trunk is straight and can reach widths of0.5 to 2.0+ m, with some cultivars buttressing at the base. The tree has many spreading branches with pronounced leaf and stipule scars and lenticels. Leaves cluster at the end ofthe branches and are alternately and spirally arranged. Foliage, male flowers, and fruits originate from a terminal bud at the end ofthe branches, enclosed by two large stipules, ranging in size from 15 - 30 cm. Breadfruit is monoecious, with the male inflorescence emerging first, followed by the female inflorescence. Milky latex is found in all parts ofthe plant. Leaves are dark green and often glossy on the upper side with a lighter green underside that has a raised midrib and main veins. Leaves can vary in texture, size, outline, and dissection. They are large and range in size from 22 to 90 cm long and 20 to 50 cm wide with most having a broadly obovate or ovate outline. Leaves are usually leathery and smooth but some cultivars have short, dense white hairs on the underside, giving them a Velcro-like texture. Lobing can vary among cultivars and even among leaves on the same tree. Most often leaves are dissected into 5 to 11 lobes with depth of dissection ranging from 2/3 to 4/5 the distance from the edge ofthe leafto the midrib (Ragone, 1997). 2 Roots are shallow and wide spreading, with a network ofadventitious feeding roots developing below the soil surface (Purseglove, 1968; Rowe-Dutton, 1976). According to Gunarto (1992), breadfruit trees in Cilicap, Central Java, have roots proportionally longer in length compared to the height ofthe tree, with a breadfruit tree of7 m having root lengths ofmore than 200 m. Inflorescences are axillary with the male inflorescence a club-shaped, spongy spike 12 to 45 cm long and 2.5 to 5 cm thick. It is made up ofnumerous tiny flowers that first appear as green buds, which turn yellow upon development, and fade to an orange/brown as they senesce. Female flowers, numbering 1500 to 2000, are attached to the fruit axis or core forming a rounded or elliptic and green prickly head. The fruit is known as a syncarp (Jarrett, 1976). The edible portion or bulk ofthe fruit is formed by the persistent perianth ofeach flower. The rind is thin and patterned with irregular 4­ sided to 6-sided flat, raised or conical polygons, each the surface ofan individual flower. Stigmas protrude from the center ofthese polygons and often leave a distinct black point or spine when they wither. Fruit are often smooth to the touch but some can have a sand­ papery, rough, or bumpy texture. They also vary in their shape, size, and color. Depending on the cultivar, the fruit may be oblong, ovoid, cylindrical or pearshaped. They range in size from 12 to 30 cm in diameter and 9 to 45 cm in length.

  • Polynesian Canoe Plants, Including Breadfruit, Taro, and Coconut: the Ultimate in Sustainability Planning Posted on June 27, 2019 by Leslie Lang
    HOME HOURS & DIRECTIONS GARDEN SLIDESHOW GARDEN NEWS & BLOG Polynesian Canoe Plants, Including Breadfruit, Taro, and Coconut: the Ultimate in Sustainability Planning Posted on June 27, 2019 by Leslie Lang Do you know about “canoe plants?” These are the plants—such as kalo (taro), ‘ulu (breadfruit), and niu (coconut), among others—that Polynesians brought in their carefully-stocked voyaging canoes perhaps 1,600 years ago when they first settled in Hawai‘i. Canoe plants are one more piece of the evidence showing us that the people who colonized Hawai‘i were intelligent voyagers who came in planned expeditions, not islanders who drifted here unintentionally. Not only did they successfully navigate the oceans like highways, but before they left home to explore and settle new lands, they pr​​epared themselves well. After all, they had to sustain themselves both during their long journeys and also upon arrival in a new island group, where they didn’t know what resources they would find. They maximized their limited space by packing seeds, roots, shoots, and cuttings of their most critical plants, the ones they relied on the most for food, medicine, and for making containers, fabric, cordage, and more. We can identify about 24 plants that arrived in Hawai‘i as canoe plants. You can see samples of some of them at Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden. The Most Significant Polynesian Canoe Plants: ‘Ulu ‘Ulu (Artocarpus altilis, Artocarpus incisus or Artocarpus communis) belongs to the Moracceae (fig or mulberry) family. Known in English as breadfruit, the ‘ulu tree produces a “fruit” that is actually a vegetable with a high carbohydrate content.

  • Breadfruit, Breadnut, and Jackfruit: How Are They Related? by Fred Prescod
    Comparing Breadfruit, Breadnut, and Jackfruit: How are they Related? by Fred Prescod In the first article we traced the arrival of the breadfruit plant into the New World. Now we compare breadfruit with its close relatives, breadnut and jackfruit, both also found in St. Vincent and the Grenadines. These three plants all belong to the botanical genus known as Artocarpus. The name Artocarpus is applied to about 60 different trees, all members of the fig or mulberry family (Moraceae), a botanical division which at one time included Cannabis. Trees of this genus are native to Southeast Asia and the Pacific region. The generic name (Artocarpus) is derived from the Greek words ‘artos’ (meaning bread) and ‘karpos’ (meaning fruit). The name is thought to have been established by Johann Reinhold Forster and J. Georg Adam Forster, botanists aboard the HMS Resolution on James Cook’s second voyage. In J.W. Pursglove’s publication on tropical crops, he reports that Joseph Banks, James Cook and other early travelers brought back descriptions of the breadfruit plant using phrases such as ‘bread itself is gathered as a fruit’. Breadfruit tree – Calliaqua, St. Vincent Breadfruit tree at Calliaqua, St. Vincent. [Photo by Jim Lounsberry] Unfortunately some confusion often arises from the use of common names, where a single common name may be applied to different plants in different areas. Nevertheless breadfruit itself is recognized as a seedless form of the plant known botanically as Artocarpus altilis (also Artocarpus communis), while breadnut (often also listed as Artocarpus altilis) was originally thought to be simply a race or form of the same plant with fruits containing seeds.

Trees take in carbon dioxide and turn it into oxygen. Questions and Activities: *Put your hand on your chest. Breathe in and out. Do you feel the air coming in and going out? Where does the air come into the body and where does it exit? What organ of the body holds the air? What do we mean by bad or dirty air? *If you breathed in bad air what would happen to you? What causes bad air? What helps the air to improve?

  • The Distribution and Strategies of Plants to Grow Around Laguna Lake in Ternate
    The Distribution and Strategies of Plants to Grow around Laguna Lake in Ternate Abdulrasyid Tolangara, Hasna Ahmad and Fadli Umar Biology Education Study Program, Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Universitas Khairun, Indonesia Keywords: Distribution, Strategy, Plant growth, Laguna Lake. Abstract: Distribution is a spacing pattern of individuals in a population relative to one another. There are various individuals’ distribution patterns. They are commonly known as uniform, random, and clumped distribution patterns. The present research was designed as an ex post facto research which aimed to observe an existing phenomenon and recount past events to investigate factors that contributed to the occurrences. This research was conducted in an area of 7.500 m2which was dug into 50 plots of 20x20m. Random plotting method was employed to collect the data. The number of individual targeted plants which appeared in the observation plots were calculated. Each of the plants’ species was identified. The distribution patterns and the growth strategies of the individuals were determined based on the Morisita Index values. The results indicated that Laguna Lake areas were mostly surrounded by durian (Durio zibethinus L), nutmeg (Myristica fragrans Hout), breadfruit (Artocarpus communis L), and mango (Mangifera indica L.). The distribution patterns of the plants consisted of random distribution pattern (durian (Durio zibethinus L.), breadfruit (Artocarpus communis L.), and mango (Mangifera indica L.)) and clumped distribution pattern (nutmegor Myristica fragrans Hout.). In relation to plant growth strategies, the K-theory was introduced (growth strategy). Environmental factors including the soil pH, light intensity, water current, and mineral content also influenced the distribution patterns and growth strategies of the targeted plants.

  • Container Food List Guide
    CONTAINER FOOD LIST GUIDE If you’re reading this, it’s safe to assume that you’ve done your calorie calculations and found your individual 80 Day Obsession Eating Plan in the Program Materials list, so you know how much food to eat—and when to eat it. These Portion-Control Container Food Lists help you determine which foods to eat for your best results. Here are a few tips to help you: ● Once you figure out how many of each portion-control container to eat each day, fill those containers with foods from the corresponding lists. For example, if your plan calls for 6 greens, fill your Green Container (Vegetables) 6 times a day. ● The foods on each list are arranged by nutritional value—the higher up on the list, the more nutritional benefit! ● Many of the foods are listed with specific measurements/amounts—10 asparagus spears, for example. If there’s no amount, just fill the containers to the point that you can still fit the lid on it. ● There are over 100 “containerized” recipes on the Fixate® cooking show on Beachbody® On Demand.

  • Jackfruit History This Unusual Fruit Comes from Asia
    Jackfruit History This unusual fruit comes from Asia. A jackfruit is the largest fruit grown on a tree- in fact, it grows on the trunk of the tree. It takes 5-7 years before a tree will produce fruit, but once it begins, the tree will grow 150-200 fruits a year. Some fruits weight more than 100 pounds. The fruit is picked in the summer and fall before they fall off the tree and become overripe. A jackfruit contains lots of excellent nutrition. Unlike most fruit, jackfruit has protein, which aids in growth and makes you feel fuller for longer. They are easy to eat, as they can be roasted, dried, ground, creamed, or just consumed fresh. It is a very popular meat substitution. The flesh is actually thousands of flowers that have fused together. You can buy jackfruits at specialty or ethnic grocery stores. Since jackfruit is an exotic fruit to Americans, it comes at an increased price. It is sold canned or fresh and has a light peach or pear-like flavor. Its texture is similar to that of applesauce or an overripe banana. Although native to India, jackfruit often goes to waste there. It grows rampant, but many people consider it a less desirable fruit, and let it rot. Language Lesson Asian countries each have a different name for the jackfruit. Jaca in Portugal. Chakka pazham in India. Kathal in Bangladesh. Kanun in Thailand. Nangka in Malaysia. Fun Facts Breadfruit, another starchy, potato-like fruit, is cousins with the jackfruit. A jackfruit tree belongs in the mulberry family.
