Gyrinops
''Gyrinops'' is a genus of nine species of trees, called lign aloes or lign-aloes trees, in the family Thymelaeaceae. They are native to Southeast Asia, the Indian Subcontinent, and New Guinea. The genus ''Gyrinops'' is closely related to ''Aquilaria'' and in the past all species were considered to belong to ''Aquilaria.'' Agarwood production Together with ''Aquilaria'' the genus is best known as the principal producer of the resin-suffused agarwood.Barden, Angela (2000) ''Heart of the Matter: Agarwood Use and Trade and CITES Implementation for Aquilaria malaccensis'' TRAFFIC International, Cambridge, Ng, L.T., Chang Y.S. and Kadir, A.A.

Agarwood
Agarwood, aloeswood, eaglewood, gharuwood or the Wood of Gods, commonly referred to as oud or oudh (from , ), is a fragrant, dark and resinous wood used in incense, perfume, and small Woodworking, hand carvings. It forms in the heartwood of ''Aquilaria'' trees after they become infected with a type of ''Phaeoacremonium'' mold, ''P. parasitica''. The tree defensively secretes a resin to combat the fungal infestation. Prior to becoming infected, the heartwood mostly lacks scent, and is relatively light and pale in colouration. However, as the infection advances and the tree produces its fragrant resin as a final option of defense, the heartwood becomes very dense, dark, and saturated with resin. This product is harvested, and most famously referred to in cosmetics under the scent names of ''oud'', ''oodh'' or ''aguru''; however, it is also called ''aloes'' (not to be confused with the succulent plant genus ''Aloe''), ''agar'' (this name, as well, is not to be confused with the e ...

Joseph Gaertner
Joseph Gaertner (12 March 1732 – 14 July 1791) was a German botanist, best known for his work on seeds, ''De Fructibus et Seminibus Plantarum'' (1788-1792). Biography He was born in Calw, and studied in Göttingen under Albrecht von Haller. He was primarily a naturalist, but also worked at physics and zoology. He travelled extensively to visit other naturalists. He was professor of anatomy in Tübingen in 1760, and was appointed professor of botany at St Petersburg in 1768, but returned to Calw in 1770. Gaertner made back cross to convert one species into another. Back cross increases nuclear gene frequency His observations were: 1. Dominance of traits 2. Equal contribution of male and female to the progeny 3. No variation in F1 (first generation of descendants) 4. Large variation in F2 (second generation of descendants) including parental and intermediate types 5. Some of F2 plants had entirely new traits but he was unable to give possible explanation for observed dat ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Thymelaeaceae Genera
The Thymelaeaceae are a cosmopolitan family of flowering plants composed of 50 genera (listed below) and 898 species.Zachary S. Rogers (2009 onwards)A World Checklist of Thymelaeaceae (version 1) Missouri Botanical Garden Website, St. Louis. It was established in 1789 by Antoine Laurent de Jussieu.Antoine Laurent de Jussieu ''Genera Plantarum'', page 76. Herrisant & Barrois, Paris. The Thymelaeaceae are mostly trees and shrubs, with a few vines and herbaceous plants. Description Several conspicuous or unusual traits are characteristic of the family (when ''Tepuianthus'' is excluded). The bark is usually shiny and fibrous, with strips of bark peeling down the side of broken stems.Ernst Schmidt, Mervyn Lotter and Warren McCleland The number of stamens is usually once or twice the number of calyx lobes; when twice, they often occur in two well separated series. Exceptions include ''Gonystylus'', which may have up to 100 stamens, and ''Pimelea'', which has only 1 or 2. Thymelaeac ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
