Minteriella cenotigena anam. gen. & sp. nov. from submerged plant material in Mexico

Hypoxia can have profound sublethal effects on reproduction and embryonic development of some freshwater fish. In the present study, the effects of diel fluctuating hypoxia on embryo viability were investigated for the eastern rainbowfish Melanotaenia splendida splendida, a small-bodied species common in wetlands of tropical Queensland. After daily hypoxic exposure (minimum 5% saturation) from fertilisation until hatch, no effects were found on egg incubation time, egg and larval mortality, and viability and size of hatching larvae. Older life history stages of the species are vulnerable to this level of hypoxia. Embryos of phytolithophilic species are likely exposed to fluctuating dissolved oxygen saturations in their natural habitat, and hypoxia tolerance may be a requirement for fish species that spawn predominantly on submerged plant material.

Two New Species

Clathrosporium Nawawi & Kuthubutheen is found to be synonymous with Strumella Sacc. (lectotypified by Strumella olivatra (Sacc.) Sacc.), a later illegitimate homonym of Strumella Fr. Consequently, Strumella olivatra is redisposed in Clathrosporium, alongside the type species Clathrosporium intricatum Nawawi & Kuthubutheen. Two new species, Clathrosporium delicatum Hennebert sp.nov. and Clathrosporium compactum Hennebert n.sp., are described and illustrated. These hyphomycetes are aeroaquatic, growing on periodically submerged plant material, leaves, and rotten wood. They produce pigmented, multicellular propagules comprising coiled, branching hyphae that disarticulate into arthroconidia when mature.Key words: aeroaquatic, hyphomycete, Clathrosporium olivatra, Clathrosporium vinosa, Clathrosporium delicatula, Clathrosporium compacta, Strumella, Spirosphaera, taxonomy.

All the tested plant materials and imidacloprid @ 40 g ai/ha were effective significanty in reducing the aphid population over control.The aphid population in treated plots ranged from 7.2 to 40.0 as against 85.4 aphid/twig in untreated control. Among the plant material, three sprays of Neem Kernel were found most effective followed by three sprays of chilli fruits.All the plant extracts were found significantly safer to D. rapae and coccinellid bettle in comparision to insecticide (imidacloprid).

Winter Annual

In evaluations of clover performances on summer-dry Himatangi sandy soil, it was found that none could match lucerne over summer. Emphasis was therefore placed on production in autumn-winter- early spring when lucerne growth was slow. Evaluations of some winter annual clover species suggested that Trifolium spumosum, T. pallidum, T. resupinatum, and T. vesiculosum would justify further investigation, along with T. subterraneum which is already used in pastures on this soil type. Among the perennial clover species, Kenya white clover (7'. semipilosum) showed outstanding recovery from drought and was the only species to produce significantly in autumn. However, it failed to grow in winter-early spring. Within red clover, materials of New Zealand x Moroccan origin substantially outproduced the commercial cultivars. Within white clover, material from Israel, Italy and Lebanon, as well as progeny of a selected New Zealand plant, showed more rapid recovery from drought stress and subsequently better winter growth than New Zealand commercial material ('Grasslands Huia'). The wider use of plant material of Mediterranean origin and of plants collected in New Zealand dryland pastures is advocated in development of clover cultivars for New Zealand dryland situations.
