- Abstract:
- ... In dioecious plants, intersex differences in the frequency and size dependence of flowering may often be important proximate determinants of a population's flowering sex ratio. Such differences have been little investigated among Southeast Asian rain forest trees, where dioecy is perhaps best represented in the world's flora. In this study we recorded flowering activity and sex of reproductive ind ...

- Abstract:
- ... 1 Bees are believed to be dominant pollen vectors in tropical forests, yet studies specific to bees in south‐east Asia are rare. Regeneration and restoration of the rapidly disappearing lowland forests of this region are reliant on bees, thus there is an urgent need for forest bee data at the community level. 2 Bee communities of eight forested sites in Johor (Malaysia) and Singapore were surveyed ...

- Abstract:
- ... Discussion about thrips (Thysanoptera) as main pollinators has been controversial in the past because thrips do not fit the preconception of an effective pollinator. In this study, we present evidence for thrips pollination in the dioecious pioneer tree genus Macaranga (Euphorbiaceae). Macaranga hullettii is pollinated predominantly by one thrips species, Neoheegeria sp. (Phlaeothripidae, Thysanop ...

- Abstract:

Insect seed predators of 24 dipterocarp species (including the genera of Dipterocarpus, Dryobalanops and Shorea) and five species belonging to the Moraceae, Myrtaceae, Celastraceae and Sapotaceae were investigated. In a tropical lowland dipterocarp forest in Sarawak, Malaysia, these trees produced seeds irregularly but intensely during general flowering and seeding events in 1996 and/or 1998. Dipt ...

The effect on reproduction of the dynamics of resource allocation was studied in an emergent and masting tree species, Dryobalanops aromatica (Dipterocarpaceae), in a lowland dipterocarp forest in Sarawak, Malaysia. Girdling of the reproductive shoots (5 mm diameter) caused an increase in abortion during the flowering period, but did not affect the fruit set at the middle or final stages of seed m ...

- Abstract:
- ... Pristine tropical rainforests in Southeast Asia have rich species diversity and are important habitats for many plant species. However, the extent of these forests has declined in recent decades and they have become fragmented due to human activities. These developments may reduce the genetic diversity of species within them and, consequently, the species’ ability to adapt to environmental changes ...

The predator satiation hypothesis (PSH) posits that GF events enhance seed survival by reducing the survival, reproduction and population sizes of seed predators between GF events, and then satiating the reduced seed ...

To test the animal pollination and predator satiation hypotheses, which are the main hypotheses that attempt to explain the ultimate cause of GF, we conducted a bagging experiment after the flowering of Shorea pilosa ( ...

- Abstract:
- ... Five promising new chilli genotypes (three lines from the Sunseed MARDI selection, 'F4-10', 'F4-11', and 'F4-12', and two lines from hybridization, 'Ch4' and 'Ch5') together with control cultivars ('Kulai', 'MC 11', and 'MC 12') were tested at three different research stations of the Malaysian Agricultural Research and Development Institute (MARDI). The stations are located at Serdang (zone 4: min ...

- Abstract:
- ... The development of pineapple cultivars more suited for fresh fruit consumption has led to new hybrids that have been widely introduced in Hawaii, Australia, Malaysia and Taiwan. These low acid types have become the preferred types and have expanded rapidly to supply the fresh fruit markets of the USA, Japan and Europe. The newer cultivars present new challenges for producers trying to ensure consi ...

- Abstract:
- ... Many species of Dipterocarpaceae and other plant families reproduce synchronously at irregular, multi‐year intervals in Southeast Asian forests. These community‐wide general flowering events are thought to facilitate seed survival through satiation of generalist seed predators. During a general flowering event, closely related Shorea species (Dipterocarpaceae) stagger their flowering times by seve ...

- Abstract:
- ... Aerobic rice technology is still new in Malaysia, and information regarding MARDI Aerob 1 (MA1), the first local aerobic rice variety, is still lacking. Therefore, comparative studies were carried out to determine the physiological performance of aerobic rice variety MA1 and lowland rice variety MR253 under water stress given at the panicle initiation, flowering and ripening stages. This experimen ...

- Abstract:

The proximate environmental cues that synchronize these general flowering events have not been evaluated systematically because there have been no long‐term, high temporal resolution, species‐level records from th ...

- Abstract:
- ... Jasmine (Jasminum spp.) belonging to the family Oleaceae is one of the commercially significant flower crops of India. India is the largest producer of jasmine, of which 80% is being contributed by Tamil Nadu. Besides having a huge and consistent domestic market demand, jasmine flowers produced in the state are also being exported to the neighbouring countries viz., Singapore, Malaysia and Middle ...

- Abstract:
- ... Multi-environmental yield trial is very vital in assessing newly developed rice lines for its adaptability and stability across environments especially prior to release of the newly developed variety for commercial cultivation. The growth performance and phenotypic variability of these genotypes are the combination of environment, genotype and genotype by environment (G×E) interaction factors. Thu ...

In order to satisfy the growing worldwide demand for black pepper, improved productivity of pepper is highly desirable. A primary constraint in black pepper production is the non-synchronous nature of flower development and non-uniform fruit ripening w ...

- Abstract:
- ... The lablab bean or ‘Kacang sepat’ is a food crop originating from India and is commonly found in tropical areas such as Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines due to its adaptability. However, in Malaysia, lablab is grown as a backyard crop, and the area cultivated with this crop is still limited. Lablab has the potential to become a commercial vegetable crop in Malaysia due to its high protein c ...
