Abstract:

Until recently melaleuca was spreading at a rate faster than it was being controlled throughout the boundaries of the South Florida Water Management District (District). Although melaleuca is a difficult species to eradicate, apparently District efforts, along with those of other governmental agencies and private groups, are containing its spread within the Everglades Water Conservation Areas (WCAs) and the marsh of Lake Okeechobee. Melaleuca has been completely cleared from WCA-2A, -3B, and -3A, south of Alligator Alley. These areas are now under “maintenance control.” Maintenance control means applying management techniques in a continuous basis to keep an invasive plant population at its lowest feasible level. Today, the melaleuca infestation is no longer increasing; in many areas, it is being reduced. Preliminary results from the latest District survey indicate melaleuca infestation has decreased considerably in South Florida, especially in public lands. The intent of this paper is to provide an assessment of progress made by the District's melaleuca control program over the past 7 yr.

Abstract:

Integration of a fungal pathogen with herbicides may enhance melaleuca control efforts in South Florida. Hyphal inoculum of fourBotryosphaeria ribisGross & Duggar isolates were evaluated in vitro for compatibility with imazapyr, glyphosate, and a surfactant. Imazapyr at 12 to 60 mg ai/ml did not cause significant loss of inoculum viability in all four isolates within 2 h after mixing. After 24 h, inoculum viability of isolate BR-4 remained unchanged at these imazapyr concentrations, but viability of BR-1 through BR-3 was reduced. Glyphosate at the lowest concentration (32 mg ai/ml) significantly reduced inoculum viability of all isolates within 2 h. Initially, the inoculum viability of all isolates remained unaffected by 1, 5, and 10% (v/v) surfactant concentrations. After 24 h, the surfactant reduced inoculum viability of BR-2, BR-3, and BR-4 inconsistently between experiments, while the inoculum viability of BR-1 was reduced significantly at all concentrations. Mixing of the lowest concentrations of imazapyr, glyphosate, and surfactant significantly reduced inoculum viability within 2 h. This corresponded to the results obtained for glyphosate alone. These results show that hyphal inoculum ofB. ribismay be mixed with imazapyr and surfactant for field applications, but mixing the fungus with glyphosate may not be as efficacious.

Abstract:

Extensive encroachment of the native tree species Melaleuca quinquenervia (Cav.) Blake has occurred on a coastal floodplain sulfidic backswamp in eastern Australia. Almost 50% of the open swamp area c. 1870 is now monospecific M. quinquenervia forest. Encroachment has been associated with shortened hydroperiods and land management changes following drainage for agriculture. Large differences to shallow groundwater and sediment geochemistry were observed beneath both individual M. quinquenervia trees and encroaching forests compared to open swamp. Groundwater beneath M. quinquenervia had enhanced titratable acidity and acidic metal cations, increased concentrations of other ionic species (Cl–, SO42–), altered ionic ratios, and increased dissolved organic carbon. Soil beneath M. quinquenervia displayed enhanced accumulation of acidity and soluble ions, with concentration profiles suggesting vertical redistribution towards the surface. Deepening of the sulfide oxidation front in the soil beneath encroached M. quinquenervia suggests that enhanced sulfide oxidation may be occurring. Changes in soil pH, redox potential, and Fe mineral precipitation/dissolution were also evident. These changes appear to be the result of interactions between M. quinquenervia physiology and the unique groundwater and sediment geochemistry of the surrounding sulfidic/sulfuric horizons. Mechanisms to explain the observed changes are discussed along with potential management implications.

Abstract:

The broad-leaf paper bark or melaleuca tree (Melaleuca quinquenervia (Cav.) Blake) is an emergent, semiaquatic tree whose morphological plasticity allows it to invade wetland and terrestrial habitats. While studying the effect of hydroperiod on melaleuca seedlings, two types of aquatic leaf forms were observed under submersed conditions. Linear leaves developed at least 9.5 cm below the water surface and were associated with short internodes. Short, broad, incurved transitional leaves formed as the seedlings approached the water surface. Aerial leaves were flat and spatulate to oblanceolate. Leaf length to width ratios, stomatal density, and shoot internode lengths were significantly different between the three leaf forms. Characteristics of submersed melaleuca seedlings are similar to those of other aquatic heterophyllic plants that grow in areas where water levels fluctuate. An increased understanding of morphological variations of this invasive tree may lead to additional control methods and mechanisms. Keywords: Melaleuca, aquatic, heterophylly.

Abstract:

The bird species composition of nine remnants of Melaleuca quinquenervia forest in NE Brisbane, Queensland, was censused from March 1992 to March 1993 to investigate the effect of forest fragmentation and fragment characteristics. Remnant area was a correlated with the total number of bird species and the number of raptors occurring, while understorey vegetation density was related to the number of forest and understorey bird species. The species composition of the M. quinquenervia remnants was compared with that of the Cooloola National Park and with that of eucalypt [Eucalyptus] remnants in lowland SE Queensland. Even the small M. quinquenervia remnants around Brisbane play an important role in conserving the avian fauna of the region by providing habitat and refuges for migrant, nesting, locally rate and uncommon species, and species not commonly found in other forest types. Future recommended management involves the maintenance of size, habitat diversity and understorey vegetation density, the prevention of disturbance and the preservation of swampy areas and ponds.

Abstract:

This study examined N, P and K partitioning in the sinks of a 130 m2 constructed Melaleuca wetland after receiving secondary treated sewage effluent for 21 months. The sinks examined were: 1) biomass, which was further partitioned into the harvestable above ground portion and the roots; 2) sediment; 3) gravel and; 4) the clay base. Gravel was the major nutrient storage sink, however this was a function of the high gravel particle mass (525 kg m−2) rather than high nutrient concentrations. M. alternifolia trees had the highest biomass due to high growth rates, higher planting densities, and low litterfall. M. quinquenervia trees were severely attacked by a sap sucking Heteropteron (Eucerocoris. suspectus) which stunted growth, but resulted in a cumulative litterfall mass three times that of the M. alternifolia trees. The sediment sink was strongly influenced by litterfall, with the sediment sink in the M. quinquenervia terraces storing more than twice the nutrients in the sediment sink of the M. alternifolia terraces. Because of their higher grwoth rates and above ground biomass fraction, and their potential to produce tea tree oil, M. alternifolia is most suitable for constructed wetlands incorporating a harvesting regime. Because of their high rate of transfer from the biomass to sediment sink via litterfall, M. quinquenervia is more suited to non-harvested constructed wetlands.

Abstract:

O comportamento invasivo de Melaleuca quinquenervia em áreas úmidas deve-se à sua estratégia de regeneração agressiva, que está alicerçada na produção de sementes em massa. O conhecimento da fisiologia da germinação de sementes de plantas daninhas pode contribuir significativamente para o desenvolvimento de estratégias de manejo. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar os possíveis efeitos dos estresses hídrico e salino na germinação de sementes de M. quinquenervia. A semeadura foi realizada com quatro repetições de 0,05 g de sementes em papel umedecido com soluções nos potenciais osmóticos de 0,0; -0,2; -0,4; e -0,8 MPa, induzidos com polietilenoglicol (PEG 6000) e NaCl. O teste de germinação foi conduzido a 25 ºC na presença de luz. Avaliou-se a primeira contagem do teste aos sete dias após a semeadura e, semanalmente, a germinação (plântulas normais) até os 28 dias. Foi calculado o índice de velocidade de germinação. A análise dos resultados permitiu a conclusão de que o estresse hídrico acarreta maior redução na velocidade de germinação e na germinação acumulada de sementes de M. quinquenervia do que o estresse salino e, independentemente da substância utilizada para indução do estresse, o limite para germinação está entre -0,4 e -0,8MPa.

Abstract:

Melaleuca quinquenervia (melaleuca) is an exotic invasive tree in Florida, Hawaii, and some Caribbean islands (1,2). Puccinia psidii (rust fungus) attacks melaleuca as well as other plants in a few genera of the Myrtaceae and Heteropyxidaceae, both members of the Myrtales (1,2). Disease occurs on succulent stems and foliage of melaleuca, causing twig dieback and defoliation (3). Melaleuca trees growing under similar field conditions exhibit susceptible or resistant reactions toward this fungus. To document this differential susceptibility of melaleuca to P. psidii, we visually evaluated 331 field-grown melaleuca trees from southeast Florida for occurrence of disease attributes: pustules (susceptible), nonpersistent halos (resistant), or asymptomatic (no macroscopic symptoms) conditions on leaves and succulent twigs during February and March when symptoms were at their peak. Percentages of trees manifesting susceptible, resistant, and asymptomatic responses to this fungus were 85.8, 13.0, and 1.2%, respectively. A screenhouse study was conducted to corroborate these observations by raising plants from composite seed sources and maintaining them in seven 3.8-liter plastic pots that were filled with commercial potting media. Nine to eleven plants per pot (with new foliage) were individually tagged, grown to 30 to 45 cm high, and spray inoculated (during February and March) with uredospores (~2 × 106/ml) obtained from melaleuca trees and suspended in water. Inoculated plants were placed on a screenhouse bench under infected trees and subjected to additional inoculum, thereby simulating field conditions. Evaluations made weekly during a 4-week period revealed that susceptible, resistant, and asymptomatic seedlings constituted 63.3, 33.6, and 3.2%, respectively, of the tagged plants. To assess the stability of these fungal and host attributes over time and space, we multiplied two P. psidii susceptible and two resistant plants from cuttings. We spray inoculated 6 to 13 rooted cuttings from each plant types with uredospores (0.8 to 2 × 106/ml) obtained from diseased melaleuca trees and suspended in water. These plants were incubated in a dew chamber for 72 to 96 h under 100% relative humidity at 19 to 23°C maintained with a 12-h fluorescent light cycle. After incubation, plants were placed randomly on a bench in a screenhouse (21 to 23°C) and evaluated weekly for symptom development during a 4-week experimental period. Noninoculated controls were maintained as well. The experiment was repeated twice. Foliage of the resistant plants developed a few incipient halos whereas 100% of the susceptible plants developed erupted uredinia and were defoliated in both replications. No detectable change in P. psidii virulence and melaleuca susceptibility patterns was observed. Despite wide host range within Myrtales, resistance to P. psidii exists within M. quinquenervia. Other P. psidii susceptible host systems of economic and environmental importance may have host/pathogen relationships similar to that of melaleuca and the selection of resistant individuals from their affected populations may be possible. Additional studies will be needed to ascertain the attributes of virulence or resistance in this rust fungus-melaleuca association. References: (1) M. Glen et al. Australas. Plant Pathol. 36:1, 2007.

Abstract:

Purpose: To evaluate the effects of M. quinquenervia extract on ethanol-induced peptic ulcer in rats. Methods: The following three groups of (n = 6) Sprague Dawley rats were included in this study: vehicle (C), ethanol-administered (E) and ethanol + M. quinquenervia-treated (MQ). MQ group rats received 100 μg/mL M. quinquenervia essential oil just before 96 % ethanol induction (1 ml/kg). One hour after ulcer induction, the animals were euthanized, and gastric and duodenal tissues were removed. Tissue samples were analysed for myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH), myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione (GSH) levels, and histopathological examinations were performed by light microscopy. Results: Gastric and duodenal GSH levels that decreased in the ethanol-administered ulcer groups (p < 0.001), rose following MQ treatment (p < 0.5). Moreover, elevated MPO and MDA levels (p < 0.5) in gastric tissues decreased after MQ-treatment. Similarly, the MQ-treated group showed recovery and control-like morphology compared to the ethanol group in both gastric and duodenal tissues when examined by microscopy. Conclusion: The results indicate that M. quinquenervia extract has a positive impact on gastric injury in rats due to its antioxidant activity. Thus, the plant has a potential for the clinical management of gastric ulcer.

Abstract:

A native fungus,Botryosphaeria ribis, was evaluated under field conditions to determine its potential to control melaleuca. Applications consisted of either wound inoculations of trees withB. ribisor fresh stump treatments withB. ribisalone or mixed with imazapyr herbicide. There was no mortality among nondefoliated trees inoculated withB. ribis. Mortality ofB. ribis-inoculated trees was increased by three complete defoliation cycles. Defoliated trees inoculated with isolate BR-5 exhibited 100% mortality compared to 17% for defoliated but noninoculated trees. Wounds inoculated withB. ribisduring winter produced longer cankers than did noninoculated wounds. Stump regrowth reduction by treatment withB. ribisalone was less effective than treatment with imazapyr alone. Mixtures ofB. ribiswith imazapyr or imazapyr alone at comparable concentrations did not differ in stump regrowth control.

Abstract:

Enhancement of the canker causing ability of Botryosphaeria ribis on melaleuca was studied with respect to stress from simulated drought, low temperature, and defoliation treatments. Low xylem water potential was related to increased level of canker development and subsequent tree mortality. Canker development was enhanced by low temperature treatments with alternating exposure to 6 C for 3 d followed by 4 d at 30 (±5) C for 8 wk. Partial defoliation did not affect canker development but complete defoliation of B. ribis-inoculated ramets resulted in tree mortality within 4 wk. Callusing of melaleuca wounds was either reduced or prevented in stressed trees. These observations suggest that stress induced on the tree enhances the tree-killing efficacy of this fungus.

Abstract:

Three tree species from the genus Melaleuca are being examined for use in constructed wetlands in subtropical SE Queensland, Australia. Growth responses of Melaleuca to secondary treated effluent (100% - approximately 5mgPL−1 and 8mgNL−1), half strength (50%), P enriched (+P) and N enriched (+N) secondary treated effluents were monitored in a 2 year pot trial. A growth index was derived from measurements of height, girth diameter, branch number and new leaf number. Highest rates of growth were achieved in the +N and 100% treatments, and lowest rates in the +P and 50% treatments. Seasonal growth trends were evident. Continuously waterlogged trees had slightly higher growth rates than those subjected to aeration cycles, demonstrating their suitability to wetland environments. An aerated network through the bark extending to the roots may provide a mechanism of root aeration. Biomass and nutrient partitioning were measured in an experimental constructed Melaleuca wetlands receiving pure effluent. Biomass nutrient accumulation rates were comparable to studies of other macrophytes. M. alternifolia stored approximately three times more N and P than M. quinquenervia. However, M. quinquenervia had higher rates of litter fall induced by severe insect damage, increasing the rate of transfer of nutrients to the long term sediment sink. P concentrations in the senescent leaves were highly responsive to external concentrations, and may be used as an indicator of P loading rates in constructed wetlands. Since senescent leaves provide a major pathway of biomass nutrients into the sediment sink, this provides a self regulating P storage mechanism.

Abstract:

Abstract Ficus benjamina were grown in potting media containing various combinations of Florida sedge peat, builder’s sand, and shredded portions of Melaleuca quinquenervia (Cav.) S.T. Blake and irrigated either 2 or 4 times per week. Eight months after initiation of experiment, plants were sleeved and placed in dark coolers maintained at 13° ± 1°C and 85% ± 10% RH for 4 weeks. After removal from coolers, plants were placed in rooms with irradiance of 15 μmol s-1m-2, temperature of 25° ± 2° and 60% ± 10% RH. Plant height was not affected by treatment. Plant grade, fresh weight and root grade decreased with an increase in shredded Melaleuca bark and wood. Plants watered 2 times/week had less than one-half the leaf drop of plants watered 4 times/week. As the percentage of shredded Melaleuca bark and wood decreased, pH and the percentage of noncapillary pore space decreased, and soluble salts and capillary pore space increased. An increase in sand increased pH, soluble salts, bulk density, and decreased cation exchange capacity and percent capillary pore space.

Abstract:

Plant–plant interactions are particularly complex in multi-resource limited environments. The aim of this study was to assess species interactions in estuarine wetlands where both N and fresh water are limited. We combined stable isotope methods and dissimilarity analyses to compare interspecific interactions in N source use and water source use. Both Melaleuca quinquenervia (Cav.) S. T Blake and Avicennia marina (Forssk.) Vierh. had a lower leaf δ15N when they were growing together with the N-fixer Casuarina glauca Sieb. ex Spreng. compared with those trees growing in monospecific stands, but their water isotopes, δ18O and δD, were different from C. glauca. Our results indicate that the N-fixer C. glauca shared their N with co-existing neighbours, either indirectly or directly, but that water sources were partitioned among them. Further analyses showed that M. quinquenervia and C. glauca had lower dissimilarity in N source use but higher dissimilarity in water source use than the C. glauca–A. marina pair, implying that the co-existence between M. quinquenervia and C. glauca is relatively stable. Our results suggest that facilitative interaction and resource partitioning can co-occur in estuarine wetlands, and which could be important in maintaining diversity across resource gradients.

Abstract:

Litterfall and litter accumulation were investigated over two years in a Melaleuca quinquenewia wetland in south-eastern Queensland. In 1992, a seasonally wet year, litterfall was 809 � 135 g m-2 yr-1 at the floodplain site and 764 �192 g m-2 yr-1 at the riparian site, of which Melaleuca leaf litter made up 65% and 56% respectively. Litterfall was significantly lower and more variable in 1993, a drought year, being 725�106 g m-2 and 675 � 216 g m-2 year-1. There was a distinct seasonal pattern, with peak leaf litterfall occurring in spring in 1992 but extending into summer in 1993. Melaleuca leaf fall was significantly lower in 1993, possibly because drought conditions caused greater leaf longevity. Litter accumulation on the forest floor was 3457 g m-2 at the floodplain site and 2320 g m-2 at the riparian site; there was no significant difference between years, although the organic matter content of the litter was lower in 1992, possibly as a result of leaching during flooding. Carbon content decreased with decreasing particle size of the litter, whereas nitrogen and phosphorus increased. There was no evidence to suggest leaching of nitrogen or phosphorus, and the high C: N: P ratios indicate slow rates of litter decay. The high accumulation of litter mass suggests that these woody wetlands may function as nutrient sinks.

Abstract:

Trials to identify alternative cropping options to Melaleuca alternifolia for northern Queensland essential oil growers were established at Dimbulah and Innot Hot Springs in 2001. Seed sources of Asteromyrtus symphyocarpa (1,8-cineole form), Eucalyptus staigeriana (citral), Melaleuca cajuputi subsp. cajuputi (trans-nerolidol), M. ericifolia (d-linalool), M. quinquenervia (trans-nerolidol and viridiflorol forms) and M. viridiflora (methyl cinnamate) with potential to produce commercial foliar oils were evaluated. Information was gathered on their adaptability, growth and oil yields over 49 months and 52 months (two harvests) from planting at Dimbulah and Innot Hot Springs, respectively. Of the species and chemotypes evaluated, M. quinquenervia showed potential for commercial production of trans-nerolidol, a compound used in perfumery. It had a very high survival rate (96%) and yields could be expected to improve dramatically from the average 100 kg/ha per harvest achieved in these trials with further research into selection of seed source, control of insect damage and breeding for genetic improvement. M. cajuputi subsp. cajuputi gave a similar performance to M. quinquenervia. The rarity of the trans-nerolidol form of this species and remoteness of its natural occurrence are impediments to further planting and research. E. staigeriana, with second harvest yields of ~600 kg/ha, performed exceptionally well on both sites but potential for development is limited by the ready availability of competitively priced E. staigeriana oil produced in South America. Survival of M. ericifolia ranged from 62% to 82% at 32 months (second harvest) at Innot Hot Springs and was deemed a failure at Dimbulah with poor growth and low survival, raising a major question about the suitability of this species for cultivation in the seasonally dry tropics. Planting of this species on a wider scale in northern Queensland cannot be recommended until more is known about factors affecting its survival. A. symphyocarpa and M. viridiflora were too slow-growing to warrant further consideration as potential oil-producing species at this time.

Abstract:

Invasive plants can respond to injury from natural enemies by altering the quantity and distribution of biomass among woody materials, foliage, fruits, and seeds. Melaleuca, an Australian tree that has naturalized in south Florida, has been reunited with two natural enemies: a weevil introduced during 1997 and a psyllid introduced during 2002. We hypothesized that herbivory from these and other adventive organisms (lobate-lac scale and a leaf-rust fungus) would alter the distribution and allocation of biomass on melaleuca trees. This hypothesis was tested by temporally assessing changes in aboveground biomass components in conjunction with the presence of natural enemies and their damage to melaleuca trees. Melaleuca trees of different diameters representing the range (1 to 33 cm diam at 1.3 m height) within study sites were harvested during 1996, prior to the introduction of herbivorous insects, and again during 2003 after extensive tree damage had become apparent. Aboveground biomass, partitioned into several components (woody structures, foliage, fruits, and seeds), was quantified both times in Broward, Miami–Dade, and Palm Beach county sites located in south Florida. The two harvests within each site were performed in closely-matched melaleuca stands, and changes in biomass components were compared between years. Total biomass and woody portions decreased in Broward, whereas they increased in Miami–Dade and Palm Beach sites. Reductions in foliage (on all trees) and seed biomass (among seed-bearing trees) were greatest at Broward and least at Miami–Dade County site. Hence, overall seed and foliage production was severely reduced at the Broward site where both the natural enemy incidence and damage were more abundant compared to other sites. We therefore attribute the reduced foliar biomass and reproductive capability of melaleuca trees to infestations of natural enemies. These findings highlight the role that natural enemies can play in the long-term management of invasive tree species.

Abstract:

Mango anthracnose is one of the most important mango diseases in Côte d'Ivoire. The chemical approach to control this disease is today decried by consumers, because of the pesticide residues left in the fruit. The search for alternative control solutions, that respect the environment and are less polluting is becoming a necessity. Thus, the use of essential oils in the protection of mangoes against fruit pests before and especially after harvest is a promising solution. The present study aimed to reveal the inhibitory efficacy of essential oil of Melaleuca quinquenervia L. and Cymbopogon citratus (D.C) Stapf against Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (Penz.) Penz & Sacc causal agent of mango anthracnose, stored at room temperature. Five doses (100; 200; 500; 1,000 and 2,000 ppm) of each product were tested in vitro on mycelial growth and spore germination of C. gloeosporioides. In vivo, 700 and 1,400 ppm of C. citratus L. and 1,200 and 12,000 ppm of M. quinquenervia L. were tested against anthracnose in artificially inoculated mangoes. The impact of the different doses of these species on the physico-chemical parameters of the treated fruits was evaluated on day 11. Results showed that mycelial growth and spore germination were totally inhibited by C. citratus essential oil at 1,000 and 2,000 ppm throughout the experiment. In Vivo, the 1,200 ppm dose of M. quinquenervia strongly reduced the occurrence and progression of anthracnose in treated fruits compared to the control with an efficiency rate of 77.76 ± 8.73 and 86.63 ± 5.21%, respectivement. The essences did not significantly influence the physico-chemical parameters of the fruits. The doses 1,200 ppm of M. quinquenervia and 1,400 ppm of C. citratus can be recommended in a post-harvest biological control strategy against mangoes anthracnose.

Abstract:

Plants have developed complex defense mechanisms to protect themselves against pathogens. A wide-host-range fungus, Austropuccinia psidii, which has caused severe damage to ecosystems and plantations worldwide, is a major threat to Australian ecosystems dominated by members of the family Myrtaceae. In particular, the east coast wetland foundation tree species Melaleuca quinquenervia, appears to be variably susceptible to this pathogen. Understanding the molecular basis of host resistance would enable better management of this rust disease. We identified resistant and susceptible individuals of M. quinquenervia and explored their differential gene expression in order to discover the molecular basis of resistance against A. psidii. Rust screening of germplasm showed a varying degree of response, with fully resistant to highly susceptible individuals. We used transcriptome profiling in samples collected before and at 5 days postinoculation (dpi). Differential gene expression analysis showed that numerous defense-related genes were induced in susceptible plants at 5 dpi. Mapping reads against the A. psidii genome showed that only susceptible plants contained fungal-derived transcripts. Resistant plants exhibited an overexpression of candidate A. psidii resistance-related genes such as receptor-like kinases, nucleotide-binding site leucine-rich repeat proteins, glutathione S-transferases, WRKY transcriptional regulators, and pathogenesis-related proteins. We identified large differences in the expression of defense-related genes among resistant individuals.

Abstract:

This paper investigates the potential for constructed Melaleuca wetlands to provide buffering for sewage spills. The experimental site was a 4.5 m × 32 m surface flow constructed wetland planted with the tree species M. quinquenervia and M. alternifolia. Primary settled sewage was discharged into the wetland at flow rates of 300 and 600 lh−1, and the concentrations of commonly measured sewage pollutants were monitored at the inlet, middle, and outlet. The constructed wetland was an excellent sediment trap, with TSS removals of up to 98%. BOD5 and turbidity had correspondingly high removals of up to 93% and 97% respectively. At both flow rates there were was 100% reduction in faecal coliform. Nitrogen removal was dependent on the flow rate, with removals of 84% and 58% at 300 and 600 lh−1 respectively. Organic P removal was high, however the wetland system was a source of PO4-P. A conceptual model is presented for a constructed Melaleuca wetland designed for tea tree oil production, effluent polishing and emergency buffering for sewage spills.

Abstract:

We develop a suitable delivery system for niaouli essential oil (NEO) using a nanoemulsification method for acne vulgaris. Prepared nanoemulsions (NEs) were characterized for droplet dimension, rheology, surface charge, and stability. The ability of NEO formulations against Propionibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus epidermidis was investigated and all formulations showed antiacne potential in vitro. Ex vivo permeation studies indicated significant improvement in drug permeations and steady state flux of all NEO-NEs compared to the neat NEO (p < 0.05). On the basis of the studied pharmaceutical parameters, enhanced ex vivo skin permeation, and marked effect on acne pathogens, formulation NEO-NE4 was found to be the best (oil (NEO; 10% v/v); Kolliphor EL (9.25% v/v), Carbitol (27.75% v/v), and water (53% v/v)). Concisely, the in vitro and ex vivo results revealed that nanoemulsification improved the delivery as well as bioactivities of NEO significantly.

Abstract:

Infections by Puccinia psidii Winter were detected on Melaleuca quinquenervia (Cav.) Blake (paperbark, tea tree) during a regular inspection of a San Diego, California nursery in November 2010 by San Diego County inspectors. Urediniospore morphology, production of bright-yellow uredinia on both upper and lower leaf surfaces, DNA sequencing, and inoculation tests confirm the identity of the pathogen. From digital image analysis, dimensions of 49 urediniospores from the paperbark rust collection were 25 (19 to 30) × 21 (18 to 23) μm, typical of uredinia of P. psidii (3). Some urediniospores also had a distinctive, unornamented “tonsure” near the base, and all pustules lacked teliospores. Both latter features are considered by some (3) as more typical of an asexual sub-taxon, Uredo rangelii Simpson, Tho., Grgur. which however, has narrower urediniospores than we report. U. rangelii is also considered less of a threat to Eucalyptus than other variants of P. psidii in the broad sense (1). The 627-bp DNA sequence of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the paperbark rust (GenBank Accession No. JF960255) obtained by John Hanna at the USDA Forest Service, Forestry Sciences Lab, Moscow, ID using PCR and ITS1/ITS4 primers had over 99% identity with 18 GenBank sequences of P. psidii from diverse Myrtaceae, including Melaleuca, Psidium, and Eucalyptus. In January and February of 2011, inoculations of 7- to 10-cm cuttings of active terminal growth demonstrated pathogenicity to the three species of Myrtaceae that were tested: paperbark, common myrtle Myrtus communis L., and brush cherry Syzygium australe (J.C. Wendl. ex Link) B. Hyland (=Eugenia australis, =E. myrtifolia) cv. Monterey Bay. Uredinia developed within 10 days of inoculation on inoculated host cuttings. Proportions of cuttings infected for paperbark, common myrtle, and brush cherry were 5 of 7, 6 of 6, and 1 of 6, respectively; pustules were most abundant on common myrtle and least abundant (a single pustule) on brush cherry. Similarly treated control cuttings were not infected. P. psidii has previously caused severe outbreaks on paperbark in Florida (2). California interceptions and nursery detections of P. psidii are recorded in the California Department of Food and Agriculture's internal, unpublished, Pest Detection Database, have all occurred since 2003, and include Florida sources. From the Database, detections on materials shipped into California nurseries have been: brush cherry from Florida, March and April, 2004 at Valley Center, CA; allspice (Pimenta dioica (L) Merr.) from Florida, June 2005 at Gilroy, CA; and Java apple/rose apple (Syzygium samarangense [Blume] Merr. & L.M. Perry [= Eugenia javanica Lam.]) from Hawaii, 2008 at Anaheim, CA. Other California nursery infestations have been: brush cherry, April 2004, at Valley Center, CA; pohutukawa (Metrosideros excelsa Solander ex J. Gaertner), July 2007 at Bonsall, CA; and common myrtle, November 2008 at Fallbrook, CA. The rust has not been reported in California on any plants outside of nursery settings or on Eucalyptus in any setting. The current strains of P. psidii in California appear likely to remain a recurrent problem for ornamental plant and foliage crops in the myrtle family grown in some nursery settings.
