“…There are two reasons. (1) Traditional wood identification relies on diagnostic anatomical features observed by a trained expert, and this technology cannot identify wood samples to the species level because related species often have similar wood structure (Santos et al 2013;Yu et al 2016). (2) Phytochemical analysis (Mcclure et al 2015), near infrared spectroscopy (Pastore et al 2011;Bergo et al 2016), real time time-of-flight mass spectrometry (Cody et al 2012) for wood identification and isotopic analysis (Horacek et al 2009;Kagawa and Leavitt 2010;Krüger et al 2014) to determine provenance are growing but as-yet not widely deployable technologies.…”

ITS2+ trnH - psbA was the best combination of DNA barcode to resolve the Dalbergia wood species studied. We demonstrate the feasibility of building a DNA barcode reference database using xylarium wood specimens. The increase in illegal logging and timber trade of CITES-listed tropical species necessitates the development of unambiguous identification methods at the species level. For these methods to be fully functional and deployable for law enforcement, they must work using wood or wood products. DNA barcoding of wood has been promoted as a promising tool for species identification; however, the main barrier to extensive application of DNA barcoding to wood is the lack of a comprehensive and reliable DNA reference library of barcodes from wood. In this study, xylarium wood specimens of nine Dalbergia species were selected from the Wood Collection of the Chinese Academy of Forestry and DNA was then extracted from them for further PCR amplification of eight potential DNA barcode sequences (ITS2, matK, trnL, trnH-psbA, trnV-trnM1, trnV-trnM2, trnC-petN, and trnS-trnG). The barcodes were tested singly and in combination for species-level discrimination ability by tree-based [neighbor-joining (NJ)] and distance-based (TaxonDNA) methods. We found that the discrimination ability of DNA barcodes in combination was higher than any single DNA marker among the Dalbergia species studied, with the best two-marker combination of ITS2+trnH-psbA analyzed with NJ trees performing the best (100% accuracy). These barcodes are relatively short regions (<350 bp) and amplification reactions were performed with high success (≥90%) using wood as the source material, a necessary factor to apply DNA barcoding to timber trade. The present results demonstrate the feasibility of using vouchered xylarium specimens to build DNA barcoding reference databases.

“…Until our work there had been no growth studies of Plinia peruviana based on dendrochronological analysis, although growth rings have been described previously in this species (Santos et al, 2013;Stange et al, 2018). Some studies were carried out with species in the same forest typology (Ombrofilous Mixed Forest), showing annual growth rings in Araucaria angustifolia, Cedrela fissilis, Ocotea porosa, and Podocarpus lambertti, due to the climate sazonality that shows warm summers and cold winters (Canetti et al, 2016;Ricken et al, 2022;Stepka et al, 2021).…”

“…The wood anatomy with growth rings identification in jaboticaba trees are present in a few researches, demonstrating that the wood features were growth rings compact and poorly-defined, marked by a row of thick-walled fibers radially-flattened (Santos et al, 2013;Stange et al, 2018). However, jaboticaba tree growth patterns studies based on growth rings series have not being carried out, and are important to assist management and species conservation strategies.…”

The jaboticaba tree (Plinia peruviana (Poir.) Govaerts) is a native Brazilian species, and its fruits are very popular in Brazil. The purpose of this study was to model the diameter growth, and determine the age of jaboticaba trees in four natural populations in Southwest of Paraná State, Brazil. The knowledge of the growth dynamics of this species is essential to assist management and conservation strategies and to discover when this species was established in the region. Core samples were collected to obtain complete growth series by measurement of annual growth rings. The series were crossdated, seven growth models were adjusted, and the best model for each site and a general model were selected using statistics rules. The time series spanned periods of ~75 to ~100 years, and growth ranged between 0.27 and 0.37 cm year-1. Chapman-Richards’ model showed better adherence for locations individually, and Monomolecular when grouped. Because to the age reached by the jaboticaba trees and the high density of this species in these natural populations, consequently named “jaboticabais”, it was inferred that there was an anthropogenic action in the dispersion and formation of the settlements through the indigenous and caboclos that inhabited the region before 1940. Also, this is the first work to register and verify the fusion of trunks for species of the Plinia genus using double piths found in samples, a feature that must be considered to avoid overestimating the age of jaboticaba trees based solely on measuring tree diameter.

We reconstruct the evolutionary changes in different anatomical markers in order to understand the evolution and functional aspects of growth rings during the diversification of seed plants (spermatophytes), one of the largest and most diverse lineages of the tree of life. We carried out a wide revision of the anatomy of secondary xylem in spermatophytes and reconstructed the evolution of the different anatomical markers in a time-calibrated phylogeny. By embodying a functionally and evolutionarily significant concept in growth rings we reveal a new panorama for their frequency and show how common they are in diverse lineages of tropical plants. In this context, the principal anatomical markers of growth rings are identified in the evolutionary history of plants and their association with climate-related ecological characteristics. We discuss the function of these anatomical markers, especially for thick-walled and/or radially flattened latewood fibres, fibre zone and dilated rays. Despite the high evolutionary lability of the anatomical markers evidenced by our analyses, they appear to represent deep homologies.
