Eucalyptus is a rich source of biologically active compounds. Among these, phloroglucinol compounds such as sideroxylonals, macrocarpals, euglobals, and robustadials are unique to Eucalyptus species. Sideroxylonal A is a very potent attachment-inhibitor. Macrocarpals show very strong antibacterial activity against gram positive bacteria. Macrocarpals also show HIV-RTase inhibitory activity. Euglobals are potent inhibitors of Epstein-Barr virus activation and are developed as skin and antitumor agents. They also show granulation inhibitory activity. In this review we aim to remove the existing confusion in literature on macrocarpals and discuss the biological activities and structure-activity relationships of phloroglucinol compounds.

Bacterial leaf blight is a major disease of eucalypt, especially under nursery conditions. Different bacterial species have been associated with the disease in several countries, and despite its importance worldwide, it is not clear to date whether similar disease symptoms are caused by the same or by different etiological agents. In this study, 43 bacterial strains were isolated from blighted eucalypt leaves collected in different geographic areas of Brazil and inoculated onto a susceptible eucalypt clone. Polyphasic taxonomy, including morphological, physiological, biochemical, molecular, and pathogenicity tests showed that only certain strains of Xanthomonas axonopodis caused symptoms of the disease. Strains varied in their aggressiveness, but no correlation with geographic origin was observed. MLSA-based phylogenetic analysis using concatenated dnaK, fyuA, gyrB and rpoD gene sequences allocated the strains in a well-defined clade, corresponding to Rademarker's group RG 9.6. Inoculation of nineteen plant species belonging to seven botanical families with representative strain LPF 602 showed it to be pathogenic only on Eucalyptus spp, and Corymbia spp. Based on distinct biochemical and pathogenic characteristics that differentiate the eucalypt strains from other pathovars of the X. axonopodis species, here we propose their allocation into the new pathovar X. axonopodis pv. eucalyptorum pv. nov.

The antifungal activities of the essential oils from Citrus borgamia. Ciderus atlantica. Cymbopogon ditratus, Eucalyptus globulus. Juniperus communis. Lavandula angustifolia. Melaeuca aterinfolia. Pelargonium graveolens. Pogestemon patchouli. Rosmarinus officinalis. Styrax tonkinensis. and Thymus vulgaris, which are recommended for the treatment of microbial infections in aromatherapy and complementary medicines. were tested against Trichophyton spp. The activities were measured by broth dilution method and disk diffusion assay. As the results, most of the test oils inhibited growth of T. tonsurans. T.mentagrophytes. T. ferugineum. and T. rubrum. Eapecially, the essential oils from C. atlantica. C. ditratus. e. globulus, and P. graveolens showed the strongest activity among the tested herb oils showing MICs between < 0.09 and 0.39 mg/ml.

본 연구는 브라질의 서부에 있는 Mato Grosso do Sul 주의 Jangada 농장과 Jamaica 농장에 유칼리나무 식재계획(植栽計劃)을 원활히 추진하기 위해 인공위성사진을 이용하여 식생분류(植生分類) 및 토지이용구분(土地利用區分), 경사도(傾斜度) 및 영구자연보존지역(永久自然保存地域) 등을 분석한 결과이다. Mato Grosso do Sul 주의 서쪽에 위치하는 이 지역은 볼리비아와 파라과이의 국경근처에 있기 때문에 지정학적(地政學的)으로 매우 중요하다. 또한 물품수출이 파라과이강을 통해서 아르헨티나의 수도인 부에노스아이레스 까지 도달될 수 있고 브라질의 남동지역과 안데스산맥에 연한 국가들을 연결하는 국도(國道)와 철도(鐵道)가 존재한다. 농장의 산림(山林) 피복지역(被服地域)의 일차해석을 위한 기초로서 Radambrasil프로젝트 SF-21 Campo Grande로부터 얻은 식생지도가 사용되었고, 그 이후에 현장조사(現場調査)가 수행되었다. 최초의 이미지해석이 이루어진 후에 사용급과 토지점유에 대한 개념정의가 이루어 졌으며 스펙트럼분류가 행해졌다. Jangada 농장과 Jamaica 농장에 있어서 산림지역 Savanna와 초원지역 Savanna가 전체 총면적의 68% 정도를 차지하고 있다. 현재로서 만족한 연구결과에도 불구하고 이미 이루어진 평가결과(評價結果)에 기초하여 프로젝트 발전을 위한 수정(修正)과 보완(補完)이 요구된다. 특히 토양(土壤)과 지형(地形)을 포함해서 환경인가에 대한 상세한 분석이 병행되어야 할 것이다.

An explanatory survey was conducted to assess preference and consumption pattern of horticultural species, their sources, location-wise planting preferences and diversity of these species in the rural homestead forest of the offshore island of Bangladesh. Assessment was done through multistage random sampling. Based on homestead size respondents were categorized into small (<0.05 ha), medium (0.05-0.25 ha) and large (>0.25 ha) and twenty from each category were selected randomly for the study. The study revealed that most of the farmer (75.5%) preferred to plant fruit tree species for future plantation followed by timber species (62.2%). But fruit-bearing plants were being gradually replaced by some exotic timber species such as Swietenia mahagoni, Acacia auriculiformis, Tectona grandis, Eucalyptus spp., etc. Diversity and abundance of fruit species was found higher in almost all homestead. A total of 41 horticultural species were identified and seven horticultural species among them were recognized as the most preferred ones in the study area. Consumption pattern was chiefly to meet the nutritional demand and to gain a quick monetary benefit. Average annual income from horticultural species was 7,183.33 Taka (US$102).
