After examining 59 individuals from from 16 localities in the Chugoku and Shikoku Districts ， western Japan ，all individuals proved proved to be diploid with 2n = 16 ， and the smallest pair of chromosomes had a satellite on on each short arm. Among the 59 individuals ， 24 individuals (“ heterotype") possessed a heterogeneous heterogeneous pair of chromosomes composed of median and submedian chromosomes in in the fourth longest pair. The remaining 35 individuals (“ homotype") possessed homoge- neous neous pair with median chromosomes in the fourth longest pai r. Such cytological varia 副 tion tion did not show a geographical tendency ， but all the “heterotypes" were observed in male male individuals ， and “ homotypes" were in female individuals. Therefore we have con- cluded cluded that the karyomorphological variations in diploid races of A. japonica depend on their their sexualities.

The glossy pointy leaves are highly ornamental and remain dark green throughout the winter. Neither the flowers nor the fruit are ornamentally significant. Landscape Attributes Japanese Aucuba is a dense multi-stemmed evergreen shrub with a more or less rounded form. Its average texture blends into the landscape, but can be balanced by one or two finer or coarser trees or shrubs for an effective composition. This is a relatively low maintenance shrub, and can be pruned at anytime. It has no significant negative characteristics. Japanese Aucuba is recommended for the following landscape applications; - Accent - Mass Planting - Hedges/Screening - General Garden Use Planting & Growing Japanese Aucuba will grow to be about 8 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 8 feet. It has a low canopy, and is suitable for planting under power lines. It grows at a fast rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 20 years. This shrub does best in partial shade to shade. It does best in average to evenly moist conditions, but will not tolerate standing water. It is not particular as to soil pH, but grows best in rich soils. It is somewhat tolerant of urban pollution, and will benefit from being planted in a relatively sheltered location.

Introduction The term plant disease refers to an impairment in the structure or function of a plant that results in observable symptoms. In this chapter the focus will be on infectious diseases—those that result from an attack by a fungus, bacterium, nematode, virus, or another organism. Other disorders can be caused by abiotic (environmental and cultural) factors, such as compacted soil, excess water, nutrient deficiencies, chemical injury, or air pollution.

    Fact Sheet FPS-57 October, 1999 Aucuba japonica1 Edward F. Gilman2 Introduction This tough, very slow-growing evergreen shrub tolerates a wide range of soils, performs well in deep shade, and has attractive glossy green leaves and bright-red fruit (Fig. 1). The variegated forms brighten any area in the landscape with deep shade. Leaf variegation differs dramatically from plant to plant; some have leaves with only a few flecks of yellow, whereas others seem to have yellow leaves with a few flecks of green. Leaves on plants receiving sun in the summer or winter will become chlorotic.
