“…Tricale, a hybrid of Triticum and Secale, often has two or more pores). Saccharum officinarum hybridises with Saccharum spontaneum, as well as other genera, including Erianthus, Miscanthus, Narenga and Sclerostachys (Aitkens et al 2007), perhaps leading to the production of these subfossil hybrid pollen grains. Thus, one of the cane or reed grasses brought by Polynesians to Tonga may have been cultivated on Vava'u and 'Eua.…”

terra australis 32Terra Australis reports the results of archaeological and related research within the south and east of Asia, though mainly Australia, New Guinea and island Melanesia -lands that remained terra australis incognita to generations of prehistorians. Its subject is the settlement of the diverse environments in this isolated quarter of the globe by peoples who have maintained their discrete and traditional ways of life into the recent recorded or remembered past and at times into the observable present.Since the beginning of the series, the basic colour on the spine and cover has distinguished the regional distribution of topics as follows: ochre for Australia, green for New Guinea, red for South-East Asia and blue for the Pacific Islands. From 2001, issues with a gold spine will include conference proceedings, edited papers and monographs which in topic or desired format do not fit easily within the original arrangements.

“…Erianthus species which have been used as genetic resources for breeding sugarcane [15]- [18] and as potential forage crops [16] [19] might be potential raw crops for bioethanol [11] [12] [20], because they have huge biomass as well as high tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses, such as drought, waterlogging, and soil hardness. Although morphological and anatomical characteristics of roots have possible relation to tolerance of the plant to such environmental stresses [21]- [31], there has been quite limited information on their roots.…”

Erianthus species are perennial C4 grasses with such high biomass productivity and high tolerance to environmental stresses that they can be grown in marginal land to supply raw material for cellulosic bioethanol. Because high biomass production and strong tolerance to environmental stresses might be based on their large and deep-root system, we closely examined the morphology and anatomy of roots in first-year seedlings of field-grown Erianthus arundinaceus. The deep-root system of E. arundinaceus consists of many nodal roots growing with steep growth angles. Diameter of nodal roots with large variations (0.5 -5 mm) correlates with the size and number of large xylem vessels. The microscopic observation shows that the nodal roots with dense root hairs developed soil sheath, hypodermis with lignified sclerenchyma in the outer cortex, and aerenchyma in the mid-cortex. In addition, starch grains were densely accumulated in the stele of nodal roots in winter. In the first year, E. arundinaceus developed less lateral roots than other reported grass species. The lateral roots formed a large xylem vessel in the center of the stele and no hypodermis in the outer cortex. Morphology and anatomy of E. arundinaceus root were discussed with reference to strong tolerance to environmental stresses.

“…Consequently, it has been used as ornamental plant and for stabilizing soil to prevent erosion worldwide. As the genus Erianthus is a wild relative to Saccharum, important traits such as drought and soil salinity resistances have successfully been transferred from Erianthus to Saccharum by intergeneric hybridization (Aitken et al 2007;D'Hont et al 1995). Due to its efficient C 4 type photosynthesis, high biomass yield, excellent tolerance against various environmental stresses and low input needs (Hattori et al 2010;Thetford et al 2009), Erianthus spp.…”
