Abstract
Cinnamomum kanehirae is one of the broadleaf tree species with 1st class. The log is the source to cultivate valuableAndrodia cinnamomeafruit. Biotech companies invested forestation of this trees to obtain logs sustainable.Plantsforforestationcamefrom rooted cuttingswhich qualitiesofsurvivalandgrowth were affectedby aging sciongardens. Earlyplantations established indicated that ranks of survival rates were seedlingsandtissuecultureplants> plantsfrom one- year-oldscion gardens >3-year-oldgardens >20-year-oldgardens during thefield testin2012 and2013.Because seed obtained difficultly in wild trees, tissueculture plants and scion gardens from them are the best materials for forestation. There have 9 clones from tissue cultures were planted at 8 sites. Morphological characters and performance in field test varied a lot. Biotechcompaniesrequiredidentificationofcharacterstoverify thesevarietiesforsureagoodgrowth performanceintheplantations theywillestablish. Furthermore wefound wild treeshave variation to resistant the infection of A. cinnamomea.This project tryto propagate readily infected and health trees by tissue cultures and cuttings to upport both industries of A. cinnamomeafruit and wood. The other aim of this project is a collaborative research in coastal tree research between Taiwan Forestry Research Institute (TFRI) and Forestry and Forest Products Research Institute (FFPRI) in Japan. The first coastal tree we select is Calophyllum inophyllum. The first objectives is to select wind tolerant plus trees among Taiwan, Iriomote island and Ishigaki island, and to collect seeds and cultivate seedlings. These seedlings will be planted at coastal area, and seedlings survival and growth will be investigated. These data with growth difference and wind tolerance will be determined. The second objective is to analyze genetic variation among Calophyllum inophyllum populations among Taiwan, Iriomote island and Ishigaki island. The analyzing data will include genetic diversity within populations (islands), genetic differentiation and phylogeography among populations (islands).
