Resumen

Dissertation (PhD (Agric))--University of Stellenbosch, 2002.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Fungi belonging to the genus Botryosphaeria are heterotrophic micromycetes that can be pathogens on woody plants. They cause serious, and in some cases devastating losses to crops through leaf necrosis, stem cankers and plant death. The Proteaceae cut-flower industry in South Africa accounts for 70% of the national cut-flower enterprise. Botryosphaeria diseases are a major impediment to production and trade of Proteaceae and there is an urgent need to investigate the etiology, epidemiology and control of t

HPLC analysis showed that pigments responsible for red colour in Leucadendron and Protea cultivars are anthocyanins. Initial extraction of anthocyan ins from freeze-dried and finely ground Leucadendron leaves, using 5% formic acid in methanol, resulted in the precipitation of gel-like compounds, making the extracts impossi

South-western Australia is a globally significant hotspot of plant species diversity, with high endemism and many rare plant species.

Results were inconclusive, possibly due to a missed opportunity, but do not exclude the possibility of crypsis. Seed predation by birds may be an as yet undescribed and significant phenomenon. Seed morphology and its impact on second phase dispersal is little known, except in a few cases. This was investigated in a comparison of hairy brown Protea and black winged Leucadendron seeds. This showed that these two types of seed tend to germinate in different habitats.

Bioclimatic models suggest that Protea species are likely to be severely affected by predicted increases in temperature and reductions in rainfall in the Western Cape. However, throughout their 400 million year history, land plants have been exposed to considerable climatic variations that have driven physiological adaptations promoting long-term resilience. A principal response of plants to increases in atmospheric CO2 concentration and changing rainfall regimes is to minimise water loss by reducing stomatal conductance (gs) and simultaneously increasing intrinsic water-use efficiency (iWUE).

Resumen

Macadamia (Proteaceae) is indigenous to Australia; four of the nine species have been used in plant breeding for cultivation and the production of a rapidly growing product. First introduced to Hawaii in the 1880s, macadamias’ potential as a crop was only really considered in 1910. It is due to the early Hawaiian pioneers’ research and the development of Hawaiian cultivars upon which most of the current world’s production is based today. Prior to the 1980s, cultivation in Australia was based mainly on Hawaiian cultivars. Extensive research has been conducted on cultivar development, performanc

Resumen

The Proteaceae is a flowering plant family containing approximately 1700 species across more than 80 genera and is a predominant feature of Australian and South African flora. The chemistry of plants from the family has been studied by researchers for over a century but these studies have neither been systematic nor extensive. The research carried out in this thesis has firstly systematically reviewed and synthesized the current state of knowledge with regard to the natural products chemistry of the Proteaceae in relation to taxonomic groupings derived from molecular and morphometric phylogene

Resumen

The fire-prone mountain fynbos of the southwestern Cape Province of South Africa has been severely invaded by introduced trees and shrubs. These invasions have transformed fynbos shrublands to dense thickets of trees and shrubs in many parts of the region, thus disrupting various natural ecosystem processes. The ecology of invasions by species of Pinus and Hakea (the most successful genera) was studied using a series of natural experiments in conjunction with autecological studies. The study was divided into main four parts: (i) case studies to elucidate major patterns and processes of invasio

Thesis (MSc)--University of Stellenbosch, 2004.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The Cape Floristic Region (CFR) is situated at the southern tip of Africa and possesses a flora that is unique amongst the floras of the rest of the world, both in terms of its incredibly high species richness, and its high levels of endemism. Proteaceae, the family to which Serruria belongs, is widely distributed amongst the landmasses of the southern hemisphere, with its centres of diversity occurring in Australia and southern Africa. Previous molecular and morphological analyses performed on the South African subfami

Resumen

Nas regiões tropicais, em contraponto com regiões temperadas, as variações ambientais são mais amenas e por anos foi considerado que as espécies tropicais apresentavam crescimento contínuo. Entretanto, as variações ambientais podem ocorrer em grande e pequena escalas, sendo possível que a mesma espécie responda diferentemente aos variados estímulos. Por isso, objetivou-se analisar o comportamento de crescimento de Roupala rhombifolia através do estudo da fenologia, atividade do câmbio e mudanças nas características do lenho em função das características ambientais em pequena escala, com ênfase

Resumen

'Occult' precipitation may be an important moisture source that can impact specific plant responses to water stress in certain ecosystems. Species in many ecosystems have been shown to use this moisture source via foliar moisture uptake. The Cape Peninsula and the surrounding southern coast experience high altitude mountain cloud cover in the summer dry period. Previous work on species that exist exclusively in the cloud belt found that species from the Erica and Restionaceae family were able to absorb water through their leaf surfaces, while members of the Proteaceae were unable to do so (Gib

Resumen

This thesis has been written up as a series of stand alone chapters, in the form that they have, or are to be, submitted for publication. Therefore there is a degree of repetition. Because the scale of my investigation has been fairly broad and crude, and because the genus is so large, I have mainly used frequency data. I have analysed this data with the G-test, which is a suitable statistical technique for such data (Sokal and Rohlf 1969).

Resumen

Persoonia elliptica is a resprouting understorey tree species of the jarrah (Eucalyptus marginata) forests of South-Western Australia. All known populations are lacking in seedlings and saplings, resulting in population structures made up solely of mature trees and exhibiting clear recruitment failure. Little research has been done on this species other than a single study by Abbott and Van Heurck (1988) which described population structures and speculated that increased kangaroo herbivory might be the cause of recruitment failure. This study addresses the issue of recruitment failure, in part

Les Angiospermes forment un clade connu pour sa grande diversité d’espèces et une répartition inégale de cette diversité en son sein. Ce travail se concentre sur la reconstruction d’états ancestraux de caractères floraux sur les phylogénies dans le but d’étudier leur impact sur la diversification. En premier lieu, nous nous sommes focalisés sur deux innovations-clés potentielles chez les Proteaceae, la symétrie bilatérale du périanthe et la présence dans les hotspots à climat méditerranéen. L’utilisation sur une phylogénie de modèles de diversification dépendants des états de caractère a permi

Resumen

The present thesis aims to introduce process-based model for species range dynamics that can be fitted to abundance data. For this purpose, the well-studied Proteaceae species of the South African Cape Floristic Region (CFR) offer a great data set to fit process-based models. These species are subject to wildflower harvesting and environmental threats like habitat loss and climate change. The general introduction of this thesis presents shortly the available models for species distribution modelling. Subsequently, it presents the feasibility of process-based modelling. Finally, it introduces t
