  • 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.

No entanto, as estrat~gias de selecio em­ pregadas para identificar germoplasmas adaptados para certos locais precisam levar em conta a seleno conjunta das sementes, do riz6bio e das micorrizas.

Encontram-se grades problemas para alcancar estes fins em quase todoi os casos de Arvores fixadaras de nitrogdnio.

  • Lyginiaceae, Two New Families of Poales in Western Australia, with Revisions of Hopkinsia and Lyginia
    477 Hopkinsiaceae and Lyginiaceae, two new families of Poales in Western Australia, with revisions of Hopkinsia and Lyginia Barbara G. Briggs and L.A.S. Johnson† Abstract Briggs, Barbara G. & Johnson, L.A.S. (Royal Botanic Gardens, Mrs Macquaries Road, Sydney, NSW 2000, Australia) 2000. Hopkinsiaceae and Lyginiaceae, two new families of Poales in Western Australia, with revisions of Hopkinsia and Lyginia. Telopea 8 (4): 477–502. Hopkinsia and Lyginia are excluded from Restionaceae and the new families Hopkinsiaceae and Lyginiaceae established. DNA sequence data from the chloroplast gene rbcL, the trnL intron and trnL–trnF intergenic spacer indicate that these genera are more closely allied to Anarthriaceae than to Restionaceae, although differing markedly from the former in vegetative morphology and anatomy. The contrasting results of cladistic analyses of DNA sequence data and morphological data are discussed, as are the reasons for excluding these genera from Restionaceae and Anarthriaceae. Extensive descriptions of the new families are given and a key provided to these and related families. The features that they share with Restionaceae are considered to be largely plesiomorphic within Poales or associated with their occurrence, like many Restionaceae, in conditions of seasonal drought. Occurring in a region of great diversity of Restionaceae, their distinctiveness was overlooked until the new DNA evidence became available. Distinctive features for Hopkinsia include the ovary structure, style with stigmatic branches that are themselves branched, fleshy pedicels, and fruit with both woody and fleshy layers. Distinctive for Lyginia are the oblique epidermal cells and stomates, distinctive chlorenchyma structure, fused staminal filaments, seed ornamentation and presence of unusual chemical constituents (allose, allosides and fructan-type oligosaccharides).

These subfamilies are supported by features of morphology, culm anatomy, pollen and phytochemistry. Sporadanthoideae occur in Australia and New Zealand, Leptocarpoideae principally in Australia but with representatives also in New Zealand, New Guinea, Aru Islands, Malesia, Hainan Island and Chile, while Restionoideae are in sub-Saharan Africa and Madagascar.

  • Waterloo Urban and Industrial Expansion Flora and Fauna Survey
    Shire of Dardanup Waterloo Urban and Industrial Expansion Flora and Fauna Survey March 2015 Executive summary This report is subject to, and must be read in conjunction with, the limitations set out in Section 1.4 and the assumptions and qualifications contained throughout the Report. The Greater Bunbury Strategy and Structure Plan identified a potential significant urban expansion area located to the east of the Eaton locality and an industrial expansion area in Waterloo, in the Shire of Dardanup. The Shire of Dardanup (the Shire) and the Department of Planning have commenced preparation of District Structure Plans (DSP) for the urban expansion area and the industrial expansion area. The DSP will be informed by several technical studies including flora and fauna surveys. The Shire has commissioned GHD Pty Ltd (GHD) to undertake a flora and fauna survey and reporting for the Project. The Project Area is situated in the locality of Waterloo in the Shire of Dardanup. The Project Area includes the urban development area to the north of the South- west Highway (SWH) and the industrial development area to the south of the SWH. GHD undertook a desktop assessment of the Project Area and a flora and fauna field assessment with the first phase conducted from 13 to 14 August, 2014 and the second phase conducted from 29 to 31 October 2014. The purpose of this assessment was to identify the parts of the Project Area that have high, moderate and low ecological values so that the Shire can develop the DSP in consideration of these ecological values. This assessment identified the biological features of the Project Area and the key results are as follows.
