Draft CX/PR 11/43/5 E Agenda Item 8(a) CX/PR 14/46/7 March 2014 JOINT FAO/WHO FOOD STANDARDS PROGRAMME CODEX COMMITTEE ON PESTICIDE RESIDUES 46th Session Nanjing, P.R. China, 5 - 10 May 2014 DRAFT REVISION OF THE CLASSIFICATION OF FOODS AND ANIMAL FEEDS: SELECTED VEGETABLE COMMODITY GROUPS (AT STEP 7) (Prepared by the Electronic Working Group led by the Netherlands and the United States of America) Codex Members and Observers wishing to submit comments at Step 6 on this document (see Appendix I), including possible implications for their economic interests, should do so in conformity with the Uniform Procedure for the Elaboration of Codex Standards and Related Texts (Codex Alimentarius Commission Procedural Manual) before 20 April 2014. Comments should be directed: to: with a copy to: Mrs Lifang DUAN Secretariat, Codex Alimentarius Commission, Institute for the Control of Agrochemicals Joint FAO/WHO Food Standards Programme, Ministry of Agriculture Viale delle Terme di Caracalla, Room 906, No. 18 building 00153 Rome, Italy Maizidian Street, Chaoyang District, Fax: + 39 06 5705 5609 Beijing, 100125, P.R. China Email:[email protected] Fax: +86-10-59194252 Email: [email protected] BACKGROUND 1. The background on the discussion of the revision of the Classification of Foods and Animal Feeds (CAC/MISC 4-1993) can be found in the reports of the 36th – 45th sessions of the Committee on Pesticide Residues (CCPR) including relevant sessions of the Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC) held between 2004 – 2013. Reports of Codex committees’ meetings are available for downloading at: http://www.codexalimentarius.org. 2. The 45th Session of the Committee (May 2013) agreed to forward the proposed draft revision of the Classification of Foods and Animal Feeds for the Root and Tuber Vegetables Group.1 The 36th Session of the Commission (July 2013) adopted the proposed draft revision and advanced it to Step 6 for comments by Codex members and interested international organisations2. 3. Following the decision of the Commission, the Codex Secretariat distributed a Circular Letter (CL 2013/19-PR) in August 2013 to request comments on the Root and Tuber Vegetables Group. Comments were received from Canada, China, European Union and Thailand were examined by the Chair and Co-Chair of the Electronic Working on the Classification which resulted in a revised document for consideration by the 46th Session of the CCPR based on Appendix XI to REP13/PR. 5. The European Union submitted comments on Cumin, black root, Olbanggae and on the sections in square brackets (Water chestnut, Water bamboo and Foxnut). Comments from China and Canada were submitted on the sections in square brackets. Comments of Thailand were on two commodities, Alocasia and Water bamboo. 1 REP13/PR, para. 123. 2 REP13/CAC, Appendix IV. CX/PR 14/46/7 2 ROOT AND TUBER VEGETABLES 5. In the commodity group Root and tuber vegetables the commodities Water chestnut (Trapa natans L.), Water bamboo (Zizania latifolia (Griseb.) Turcz. ex Stapf) and Foxnut (Euryale ferox Salisb.) were placed in square brackets. China proposed to delete the brackets and to keep this commodities in the subgroup 16C Aquatic root and tuber vegetables. Canada agrees to the need for further discussion on the appropriate commodity group for these three commodities. The European Union recommends deleting the Water chestnut and Foxnut from this commodity group as both commodities are no roots. Water chestnut forms nut-like fruits and Foxnut produces starchy seeds. The European Union supports the inclusion of Water Bamboo as Thailand commented that this commodity belongs in the Group 017 Stalk and Stem vegetables, Subgroup 17A Stalk and Stem vegetables - Stems and Petioles, because the edible part is its stem. The proposal is to delete these commodities in this proposal. Water bamboo will be moved to the Stalk and Stem vegetable group. For the other two commoditties appropriate commodity groups should be found. 6. The European Union questioned the inclusion of Olbanggae in this group because it is a weed. Last year this addition was proposed by Rep. of Korea and was well documented. The root of this plant is consumed and traded (fresh and as powder) in the Rep. of Korea. The proposal is to keep this commodity in this group. 7. The European Union proposes to change the common name of VR 2941 Cumin, black root, (Burnium persicum (Bloiss.) B. Fedtsch) to Caraway, black root. 8. Thailand proposes to classify VR 0570 Alocasia in the group of Stalk and Stem vegetables, as in Thailand the edible part if this crop is the stem. It is proposed to keep this commodity in the root and tuber vegetables as the corm, rhizome is also edible and to add (corm) to this commodity. The stem of this commodity could be classified in the group of Stalk and Stem vegetables. 9. The proposed revised group Root and Tuber Vegetables is included in Appendix I. RECOMMENDATIONS 10. The Committee is invited to consider the proposals in Appendix I for the Root and Tuber Vegetables Group while taking into consideration the discussion held at the 45th Session of the Committee, the considerations given in paragraphs 4-8 and comments submitted at Step 6. 11. Following the approach agreed by the Committee in the revision of the Classification, it is proposed to keep this group at Step 7 as revised by the 46th Session of the CCPR awaiting the finalisation of all vegetable commodity groups. CX/PR 14/46/7 3 APPENDIX I ROOT AND TUBER VEGETABLES Class A Type 2 Vegetables Group 016 Group Letter Code VR Group 016. Root and tuber vegetables are the starchy enlarged solid roots, tubers, corms or rhizomes, mostly subterranean, of various species of plants, mostly annuals. The underground location protects the edible portion from pesticides applied to the aerial parts of the crop during the growing season; however the commodities in this group are exposed to pesticide residues from soil treatments and from applications that can be washed away by rain and can move into the soil. The entire vegetable may be consumed in the form of fresh or processed foods. This group contains 3 subgroups based on the morphology and growing practice: 16A Root vegetables 16B Tuberous and corm vegetables 16C Aquatic root and tuber vegetables Portion of the commodity to which the MRL applies (and which is analysed): Whole commodity after removing tops. Remove adhering soil (e.g. by rinsing in running water or by gentle brushing of the dry commodity).

  • Evolutionary Shifts in Fruit Dispersal Syndromes in Apiaceae Tribe Scandiceae
    Plant Systematics and Evolution (2019) 305:401–414 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00606-019-01579-1 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Evolutionary shifts in fruit dispersal syndromes in Apiaceae tribe Scandiceae Aneta Wojewódzka1,2 · Jakub Baczyński1 · Łukasz Banasiak1 · Stephen R. Downie3 · Agnieszka Czarnocka‑Cieciura1 · Michał Gierek1 · Kamil Frankiewicz1 · Krzysztof Spalik1 Received: 17 November 2018 / Accepted: 2 April 2019 / Published online: 2 May 2019 © The Author(s) 2019 Abstract Apiaceae tribe Scandiceae includes species with diverse fruits that depending upon their morphology are dispersed by gravity, carried away by wind, or transported attached to animal fur or feathers. This diversity is particularly evident in Scandiceae subtribe Daucinae, a group encompassing species with wings or spines developing on fruit secondary ribs. In this paper, we explore fruit evolution in 86 representatives of Scandiceae and outgroups to assess adaptive shifts related to the evolutionary switch between anemochory and epizoochory and to identify possible dispersal syndromes, i.e., patterns of covariation of morphological and life-history traits that are associated with a particular vector. We also assess the phylogenetic signal in fruit traits. Principal component analysis of 16 quantitative fruit characters and of plant height did not clearly separate spe- cies having diferent dispersal strategies as estimated based on fruit appendages. Only presumed anemochory was weakly associated with plant height and the fattening of mericarps with their accompanying anatomical changes. We conclude that in Scandiceae, there are no distinct dispersal syndromes, but a continuum of fruit morphologies relying on diferent dispersal vectors. Phylogenetic mapping of ten discrete fruit characters on trees inferred by nrDNA ITS and cpDNA sequence data revealed that all are homoplastic and of limited use for the delimitation of genera.

  • Taxonomy, Origin and Importance of the Apiaceae Family
    1 TAXONOMY, ORIGIN AND IMPORTANCE OF THE APIACEAE FAMILY JEAN-PIERRE REDURON* Mulhouse, France The Apiaceae (or Umbelliferae) is a plant family comprising at the present time 466 genera and about 3800 species (Plunkett et al., 2018). It is distributed nearly worldwide, but is most diverse in temperate climatic areas, such as Eurasia and North America. It is quite rare in tropical humid regions where it is limited to high mountains. Mediterranean and arid climatic conditions favour high species diversification. The Apiaceae are present in nearly all types of habi- tats, from sea-level to alpine zones: aquatic biotopes, grasslands, grazed pas- tures, forests including their clearings and margins, cliffs, screes, rocky hills, open sandy and gravelly soils, steppes, cultivated fields, fallows, road sides and waste grounds. The largest number of genera, 289, and the largest generic endemism, 177, is found in Asia. There are 126 genera in Europe, but only 17 are en- demic. Africa has about the same total with 121 genera, where North Africa encompasses the largest occurrence of 82 genera, 13 of which are endemic. North and Central America have a fairly high level of diversity with 80 genera and 44 endemics, where South America accommodates less generic diversity with 35 genera, 15 of which are endemic. Oceania is home to 27 genera and 18 endemics (Plunkett et al., 2018). The Apiaceae family appears to have originated in Australasia (region including Australia, Tasmania, New Zealand, New Guinea, New Caledonia and several island groups), with this origin dated to the Late Cretaceous/ early Eocene, c.87 Ma (Nicolas and Plunkett, 2014).

Forty-six ethnobotanical and ethnographical sources from Spain were reviewed, together with some original unpublished field data from several Spanish provinces. A total of 419 plant species belonging to 67 families was recorded. A list of species, plant parts used, localization and method of consumption, and harvesting time is presented. Of the seven different food categories considered, green vegetables were the largest group, followed by plants used to prepare beverages, wild fruits, and plants used for seasoning, sweets, preservatives, and other uses. Important species according to the number of reports include: Foeniculum vulgare, Rorippa nasturtium-aquaticum, Origanum vulgare, Rubus ulmifolius, Silene vulgaris, Asparagus acutifolius, and Scolymus hispanicus. We studied data on the botanical families to which the plants in the different categories belonged, over- lapping between groups and distribution of uses of the different species.

This area, with its diversity of landscapes, meant a wildlife rich week in this beautiful and peaceful part of France, enjoying masses of colourful and intriguing plants, many species of butterflies and some great birds. As we ascended the Corniche de Cevennes on our arrival day the roadsides were dotted with orchids and Meadow Saxifrage, and a meadow of Poet's Narcissi gave us a flavour of the week ahead. The colours of the forests, meadows and rocky roadside banks were wonderful. The weather was better than the early forecast had suggested, indeed there had been snow on the Causse Mejean only a few days earlier, and even on the notorious Mont Aigoul we had sunshine but it was not quite clear enough for the promised views to the Camargue, the Alps and the Pyrenees. Orchid species were prolific, with drifts of the red and yellow Elder-flowered Orchid and banks of Monkey, Lady and Military Orchids in profusion, and the air was rich with the scent of various broom species.

  • Know Your Umbellifers! – THIS COULD 'SAVE YOUR SKIN' AND
    Know your umbellifers! – THIS COULD ‘SAVE YOUR SKIN’ AND EVEN YOUR LIFE! Since compiling the wildflower challenge, I’ve been asked what the difference is between cow parsley and hemlock/poison hemlock, as the plants look similar. However, one can be picked safely, some parts foraged and eaten without a problem and the other causes awful skin damage and blistering, if handled, and is very poisonous if ingested. (You may remember from history that the Greek philosopher, Socrates (in 399 BC), was executed by consuming a hemlock derived drink. Hemlock was used in ancient Greece to poison condemned prisoners. In addition, there are other ‘look-alikes’, of which some are ‘sweet and innocent’ but the most super- sized and highly toxic one of them all is giant hogweed. It is currently in the news, as with the recent warm weather it is growing fast and flowering early and, as it tends to grow where people are now enjoying more outside freedom after lock down children, in particular, are being attracted to its unique appearance and suffering horrifying, life-changing consequences by just touching it (see photographs right). (More on how to spot giant hogweed and other ‘look-a-likes’ later, after comparing our first two.) Here’s a bit of botany (info about plants) from which you will see that cow parsley and poison hemlock are ‘related’, have many similar characteristics and it’s not surprising they are often confused! An umbel is an ‘inflorescence’ – now don’t be put off! (Inflorescence just means a group/cluster of flowers on a main stem or a branched stem.) So, an umbel has a number of flowers on short flower stalks (pedicels) which spread from a common point, like the ‘ribs’ of an umbrella.
