Journal of Essential Oil Research: JEOR: Infraspecific variation of foliage terpenes of Podocarpus hallii A new laurenene-related diterpene from Podocarpus totara var waihoensis. The unusual tetracyclic diterpene laurenene, which has previously been encountered only in Podocarpus totara and Dacrydium cupressinum, was found at low levels in several of the samples. We have issued a preliminary report of new sources of laurenene from three New Zealand Podocarpus species, which collectively are known as totara (3). www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_qa4091/is_200309/ai_n9281647   (1151 words)

Bergin--Management of Podocarpus totara for timber Abstract The silviculture and ecology of the New Zealand endemic tree Podocarpus totara (totara) relevant to management for timber production, either in plantations or in managed, naturally regenerating second-growth stands, is reviewed. In addition to the interest in planting and managing totara for timber, there is a large resource of naturally regenerating second-growth stands in many regions throughout the country that have the potential to be managed and provide a supply of wood. These include its cultural and heritage values; durability and machining qualities of the wood; wide distribution; tolerance of a wide variety of sites; ease with which seedlings can be raised in a nursery; good growth rates; potential genetic gains in both growth and form; and amenability to tending. www.rsnz.org /publish/nzjb/2000/17.php   (229 words)

Terrestrial Ecoregions -- Cantebury-Otago tussock grasslands (AA0801) The foothills from north to south were covered in beech forest (Nothofagus spp.), while the plains were covered with mixed beech-podocarp forest dominated by matai (Prumnoptitys taxifolia) and totara (Podocarpus totara). Prior to human arrival the drier central regions of Otago probably had a cover of low conifer-broadleaf forest made up of species like mountain toatoa (Phyllocladus alpinus), Hall's totara (Podocarpus hallii), broadleaf (Griselinia littoralis), and kanuka (Kunzea ericoides) ("http://tussocks.net.nz/refall.htm#mcglone" McGlone 1989). The mountains and low hill country of Otago are linked to the coast by deep rivers often surrounded by rocky gorges, like New Zealand’s largest river (in volume), the Clutha. www.worldwildlife.org /wildworld/profiles/terrestrial/aa/aa0801_full.html   (196 words)

Molecular Cytogenetics and Genome Organization - Pat Heslop-Harrison Southern blots using a variety of probes obtained from the reverse transcriptase of retroelements (gypsy, copia and LINE) from Podocarpus totara, P. nivalis and Dacrycarpus dacrydioides show that these retroelements are abundant and widespread in Podocarpaceae and also in others conifers. The metacentric chromosome 5 and its L arm arries the large cluster of the genes, and the short arm of acroncentric chromosome 4 carries the smaller cluster in all three ecotypes. The chromosomes and arms carrying the 5S rDNA were identified by multi-color FISH with cosmid clones and a centromeric 180-bp repeat as co-probes. www.le.ac.uk /biology/phh4/titleabst.htm   (13464 words)

Fescue tussock (Festuca novae-zealandiae) Toatoa (Phyllocladus alpinus), Hall's totara (Podocarpus hallii), broadleaf (Griselinia littoralis), kowhai (Sophora microphylla), kanuka (Kunzea ericoides and Myrsine australis made up this distinctive forest type. McGlone (1989) has decribed the vegetation of the very driest districts in the South Island that existed 3000 years before the present as a low conifer-broadleaf forest. Buried charcoal and pollen analysis of sites in Central Otago indicate that deforestation by natural fires began at least 2500 y.b.p., with a change to a cooler and drier climate preventing regeneration. www.tussocks.net.nz /f_nz/index.html   (236 words)

Some retroelements such as copia pPonty3 and gypsy pPot1li are more abundant in the genome of Picea abies and Ginkgo biloba than in the species from which they was amplified.

Terrestrial Ecoregions -- North Island temperate forests (AA0405) Possums have caused the widespread death of kamahi and rata in lowland forests and the death of kaikawaka ( Libocedrus bidwillii) and Hall’s totara (Podocarpus hallii) in the southern ranges (Department of Conservation 1997). Many forests on the axial ranges and the central plateau were managed as ‘multiple use’ forest parks, and logging of indigenous timber was permitted. There are, however, distinctive ‘beech gaps’ in the southern Ruahines, northern Tararuas Ranges (Dawson 1988) and on the Wellington Peninsula, presumably a result of ice age extinctions and the poor dispersal ability of beech species (Department of Conservation 1996). www.worldwildlife.org /wildworld/profiles/terrestrial/aa/aa0405_full.html   (13464 words)

Halocarpus biformis description The track heads almost continuously uphill, starting in a flax thicket and then, in the forest, passing progressively through elevation zones dominated by rimu (Dacrydium cupressinum), matai (Prumnopitys taxifolia), Hall's totara (Podocarpus cunninghamii), kaikawaka (Libocedrus bidwillii), yellow pine (Halocarpus biformis), mountain toatoa (Phyllocladus alpinus), bog pine (Halocarpus bidwillii) and pygmy pine (Lepidothamnus laxifolius). The adult scale-like foliage evidently bears a close resemblance to that of the other New Zealand scale-leaved forest conifers, Halocarpus kirkii, Lepidothamnus intermedius, and Manoao colensoi, and I have not found any source describing how these foliages can be distinguished. The highest subalpine forest has a dense forest of mature Libocedrus bidwillii and Halocarpus biformis only 5-7 m tall, with juvenile plants in the understory. www.conifers.org /po/ha/biformis.htm   (13464 words)
