  • Available here for $. Abstract: "Many of the coloured-leaved Cordyline cultivars attributed to C. australis have morphological characters more consistent with a hybrid origin. The cultivar ‘Purple Tower’ is stated in reference works to be a hybrid between C. australis and C. banksii but has morphological characters more in keeping with a hybrid of C. indivisa. A molecular investigation was undertaken in order to establish the parentage of the coloured-leaved plants. Sequences of the nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region were gained for 12 taxa but, excepting the tropical C. fruticosa, only one variable site was found. Work continues using low-copy nuclear genes to try to gain the desired information." possibly useful on cultivars Kahuroa (talk) 09:39, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

  • Micropropagation in Mexico. Abstract: Large scale commercial micropropagation in Mexico is now starting as a new emerging industry in the state of Chiapas. One of the main challenges to overcome within this industry is the production cost per unit where the ex-agar plant quality is one of the key points for success during acclimatization. High conversion rate and speed of adaptation is needed in the greenhouse or weaning facility in order to keep a dynamic flow of plant material and an optimal utilization of the whole system to give the maximum productivity for an installed production capacity. Here, we present an overview of the work done at Agromod laboratory and the work done to produce plant material which travels long distances inside Mexico and also overseas to be adapted or acclimatized either in glasshouse or shaded house.

Author(s): Gould KS, Thodey K, Philpott M, et al. Source: NEW ZEALAND JOURNAL OF BOTANY Volume: 44 Issue: 1 Pages: 1-4 Published: MAR 2006 Times Cited: 0

  • Abstract: Abstract New Zealand plants reportedly used as food by the early Maori may have been rich in low molecular weight antioxidants. To test this possibili-ty, methanol-soluble extracts from 17 ndigenous and introduced plant species were challenged with the 1,1-diphenyl-picrylhydrazyl free radical, and scav-enging efficiencies compared with that of blueberry. Antioxidant activities varied more than 150-fold on a dry weight basis, and eight species were consid-erably more effective than blueberry. In contrast, crops that were used as sources of dietary starch, such as Cordyline australis and Solanum tuberosum ‘Urenika’, had relatively low antioxidant activities, both raw and after boiling. Antioxidant activity did not correlate to anthocyanin content. Our data indi-cate a remarkable potential of some New Zealand species as sources of dietary antioxidants.

  • Abstract available here. $ for full access. Study samples modern pollen to allow better interpretation of vegetation types from fossil pollen records. Probably not too relevant to C australis per se.Kahuroa (talk) 01:12, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
Aims:  To quantify pollen–vegetation relationships from saline to freshwater in an estuarine gradient from surface samples of the modern pollen rain, to allow more accurate interpretations of the stratigraphic palynological record.
Main conclusions:  The vegetation pattern (zonation) at Whangapoua is reflected in the pollen rain. When the long-distance and over-represented pollen types are excluded, five out of six of the broad vegetation communities can be identified by their pollen spectra. Species with high fidelity and low-to-moderate dispersibility indices can be used to identify the vegetation types in the sedimentary sequences. The more open vegetation types at the ‘marine end’ of the sequence tend to be ‘overwhelmed’ by regional pollen, but the nature of the sediments and the presence of discriminatory species (e.g. A. marina, Plagianthus divaricatus, Cordyline australis), even in small amounts, will allow correct identification of the local vegetation represented in sedimentary palynological sequences. A box-plot analysis indicates that the pollen and spore types A. marina (mangroves), Sarcocornia quinqueflora (salt meadow), P. divaricatus (sedges), Gleichenia (shrubland) and C. australis (swamp forest) are highly discriminatory in relation to vegetation type. These discriminatory palynomorphs help with the interpretation of stratigraphic pollen studies. However, salt marsh vegetation communities in the sediments must be interpreted with caution as the marine sediments are easily affected by erosion, bioturbation and tidal inundation effects.
