“…The application of DNA barcoding has become the latest approach or tool in biotechnology, showing benefits for human health and marine sustainability [16]. The application of DNA molecules has also solved many problems and issues related to the meliponiculture industry worldwide, such as accessing the honey compounds in several honey varieties [17], stingless bee identification through DNA barcoding [18], and plant species identification as food sources for the stingless bees [19].…”

Honey quality is the main criterion used for evaluating honey production in the stingless bee Heterotrigona itama, and it is correlated with the plant species consumed as its main diet. The objective of this study was to obtain the metabarcode data from 12 populations of H. itama species throughout Malaysia (Borneo and Peninsular Malaysia) using the trnL marker. A total of 262 species under 70 families and five phyla of plants were foraged by H. itama in the studied populations. Spermatophyta and Magnoliophyta were recorded as the two most abundant phyla foraged, at 55.95% and 32.39%, respectively. Four species, Garcinia oblongifolia, Muntingia calabura, Mallotus pellatus, and Pinus squamata, occurred abundantly and were consumed by H. itama in all the populations. These data are considered as a fundamental finding that is specific to the diet of H. itama for strategizing the management of the domestication process specifically in a mono-cropping system and in a netted structure. Thus, based on these findings, we recommend Momordica charantia, Melastoma sp., and Cucumis sativa as the best choices of food plant species to be planted and utilized by H. itama in meliponiculture.

“…Acacia salicina , the originally labelled host of the holotype of U. tepperianum , belongs to the ‘ A. bivenosa group’ of closely related plant species, which also includes A. ampliceps , A. bivenosa , A. cupularis , A. didyma , A. ligulata , A. rostellifera , A. sclerosperma , A. startii , A. telmica , A. tysonii and A. xanthina ( Chapman & Maslin 1992 , Joseph et al 2013a , b ). Acacia ligulata has been historically confused with A. salicina ( Chapman & Maslin 1992 ) and at the time of the original fungal description, the two were considered conspecific.…”

Uromycladium tepperianum has been reported on over 100 species of Acacia, as well as on the closely related plant genera, Falcataria, Racosperma and Paraserianthes. Previous studies have indicated that U. tepperianum may represent a complex of host-specific, cryptic species. The phylogenetic relationships between 79 specimens of Uromycladium were determined based on a concatenated dataset of the Small Subunit, the Internal Transcribed Spacer and the Large Subunit regions of nuclear ribosomal DNA, and the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 3. This study showed that the host range of U. tepperianum s.str. was restricted to species of Acacia in the ‘A. bivenosa group’ sensu Chapman & Maslin (1992). An epitype of U. tepperianum on A. ligulata is designated to create a stable taxonomy for the application of this name. Sixteen novel species of Uromycladium are described, based on host preference, morphology and a phylogenetic species concept.

“…Salinity is one of the most limiting abiotic stress to plant growth and productivity and its origin is often attributed to increasing use of poor quality water for irrigation and soil salinization. Part of the saline-degraded land unsuitable for conventional crop could be used for non-food crops such as alternate plants that can serve to wood as well as landscape reintegration (Joseph et al, 2013).…”

A greenhouse study was carried out to evaluate the effects of increasing sodium chloride (NaCl) concentrations in a nutrient solution on growth-related morphophysiological and biochemical features during development of young plants of African mahogany (Khaya senegalensis). The NaCl concentrations were 0 mM (1.0 dS m-1), 20 mM (3.38 dS m-1), 145 mM (15.14 dS m-1), 270 mM (29.90 dS m-1), 395 mM (42.61 dS m-1) and 520 mM (53.60 dS m-1). Morphological features were negatively affected by increasing NaCl concentrations, except for plant height, which had no significant effect. Relative water content was not affected, whereas water potential decreased, suggesting osmotic adjustment. Whole plant dry mass was reduced, especially on roots, whose dry mass reduced up to 66% lower than in control. Regarding biochemical features, chlorophyll, chlorophyll content was reduced by salinity stress from 15.14 dS m-1, whereas reducing sugars, starch and proline contents were increased. We conclude that in the early development Khaya senegalensis is tolerant to salinity stress, since plant height was not affected, whereas the other morphophysiological parameters became significantly lower than the control only from moderate salinity levels. Salinity tolerance must have probably been favored by the osmotic adjustment provided by increased compatible osmolytes.
