<strong>Cropwatch</strong> comments: Australia has two commercially important <strong>Sandalwood</strong><br />
spp. (Santalum album & S. spicatum), and a number of other <strong>Sandalwood</strong> spp. of<br />
more minor economic importance (such as S. acuminatum, S. lanceolatum, and<br />

Biocidal Properties of Australian <strong>Sandalwood</strong>s<br />
Ritchie S.A., Williams C.R. & Montgomery B.L. (2006) "Field evaluation of New Mountain<br />
<strong>Sandalwood</strong> Mosquito Sticks and New Mountain <strong>Sandalwood</strong> Botanical Repellent against<br />
mosquitoes in North Queensland, Australia." J Am Mosq Control Assoc. 22(1), 158-60. Abstract.<br />
The mosquito repellent efficacy of New Mountain <strong>Sandalwood</strong> Mosquito Sticks (containing 0.5%<br />
w/w essential oils) and New Mountain <strong>Sandalwood</strong> Botanical Repellent (containing soybean and<br />
geranium oils) was assessed. Tests were conducted in the field with 4 volunteers in a wooded<br />
area near Cairns, North Queensland, Australia. Predominant biting species were Verrallina<br />
funerea and Ve. lineata. A pair of burning Mosquito Sticks immediately upwind of the subject<br />
(acting as an area repellent) provided a 73.1% mean reduction in mosquito landing and probing<br />
over the 3-h test period. The Botanical Repellent and a DEET-based control were both 100%<br />
effective in preventing mosquito probing for 3 h. These data are consistent with other studies of<br />
area repellents in that such products provide significant protection from mosquito bites, albeit<br />
inferior to the protection provided by topically applied repellents.<br />

determination of efficacy of a Santalum spicatum extract for mosquito control." J Am Mosq<br />
Control Assoc. 23(3), 304-11. Abstract. The activity of QN50, a sequiterpene alcohol derived from<br />
Australian sandalwood (Santalum spicatum), was tested for its effectiveness against larvae of 2<br />
mosquito species (Culex molestus and Aedes camptorhynchus [Diptera: Culicidael), nymphs of 2<br />
species of water boatmen (Micronecta robusta and Agraptocorixa [Hemiptera: Corixidae]),<br />
immature Daphnia sp. (Crustacea), and mosquito eggs (Cx. molestus). In a series of laboratory<br />
bioassays, field-collected mosquito larvae, eggs, and immature corixids and daphnids were<br />
placed in beakers with either QN50, methoprene or source water only (control). The mosquito<br />
larvae exposed to QN50 had reduced survivorship and average longevity relative to the control<br />
and to methoprene at most concentrations used in this study. The hatching rate of mosquito eggs<br />
was unaffected by methoprene or QN50. Corixid nymphs and daphnids experienced high<br />
mortality in both methoprene and QN50 relative to the control, but there was no difference in the<br />
effect between the compounds. The results of this preliminary study suggest that further research<br />
into the mode of action and efficacy of QN50 as a potential alternative to methoprene for<br />
mosquito abatement is warranted.<br />

Bristow M., Taylor D. & Robson K. (2002) "Queensland <strong>Sandalwood</strong> (Santalum lanceolatum):<br />
regeneration following harvesting." <strong>Sandalwood</strong> Research Newsletter 2002. Abstract. In 1994, a<br />
trial, funded by Queensland Department of Primary Industries Forestry, was established near<br />
Hughenden investigating regeneration of natural stands of Queensland sandalwood from two<br />
harvestingmethods, vis, stump cutting vs. stump pulling. Merchantable size trees in five, one<br />
hectare plots wereharvested by the respective methods and vegetative regeneration was<br />
recorded over the successive fiveyear period. Overall indications are that retaining sandalwood<br />
stumps is unlikely to result in a greateramount or more successful coppice regeneration following<br />
harvesting than stump pulling, and that it may well result in less successful cpppice regeneration..<br />
Data from the trial suggests that the propor-tion of pulled stumps that produce coppice is higher<br />
than the coppice produced through the cut stumpmethod, and these are more likely to survive.<br />
Concerns about the impact of stump pulling on soil prop-erties and erosion are unwarranted as<br />
the number of sandalwood removed from any area is relatively few and the area of soil disturbed<br />
during the operation is very small.<br />

(Santalaceae)." Australian J of Botany 49(1), 9-16. Abstract. Plant hemiparasites obtain a wide<br />
range of primary compounds from their host plants, including carbon, water and ions. In this<br />
paper, we examine the transfer of carbon from the host plant Myoporum parvifolium and the<br />
movement of an insecticidal compound from the host Melia azedarach to the root hemiparasite<br />
Santalum acuminatum (R.Br) (quandong). By using 14 C we determined that glucose was moving<br />
from the M. parvifolium host to the parasite while the carbon fixed by quandongs was found to be<br />
mostly in mannitol. Mannitol occurred in fruit, leaf, stem and root tissue and also in xylem sap. We<br />
also provide evidence from direct infusion electrospray mass spectrometry (DIEMS) that<br />
quandong fruit from trees growing near Melia azedarach (L.) contain an insecticidal compound.<br />
This was supported by results from a bioassay in which apple moth (Epiphyas postvittana Wal<br />
ker) larvae suffered higher mortality when fed only on quandong fruit that was growing nearM.<br />
azedarach than those fed on quandong fruit from trees growing away from M. azedarach.<br />

distillation, solvent extraction, supercritical fluid extraction (SCCO2) and liquid CO2 extraction<br />
were used to obtain the volatile oil from Western Australian <strong>Sandalwood</strong> (Santalum spicatum (R.<br />
Br.) A. DC.). Supercritical fluid extraction afforded the highest yields of extractable material and<br />
total volatiles. The percentages of five sesquiterpene alcohols, epi--bisabolol (1), (Z)--santalol (2),<br />
2(E), 6(E)-farnesol (3), (Z)--santalol (4) and (Z)-nuciferol (5), were highest in the steam distillate.<br />
The variations in the relative amounts of these sesquiterpenes in the essential oil recovered by<br />
SCCO2 extraction of different sections of a single tree have been investigated.<strong>Cropwatch</strong><br />
comments: According to ISO 9235, the supercritical fluid extraction of aromatic material<br />
produces an extract; it cannot be termed an essential oil.<br />

Boswellia carterii Birdw. volatile oil by supercritical carbon dioxide: influence of some process<br />
parameters." Flavour and Fragrance Journal 21(4), 718 - 724 Abstract. Wood of Santalum<br />
album and resin of Boswellia carterii Birdw. were used to obtain their volatile oils by means of<br />
supercritical fluid extraction with carbon dioxide. Different extraction conditions were tested: 90<br />
bar, 45 °C; 120 bar, 60 °C; and 120 bar, 45 °C. On both matrices, a good process performance<br />
4
was obtained working at 120 bar and 45 °C (density of CO2 = 0.658 g cm-3) in the extraction<br />
vessel, at 20 bar and 15 °C in the separator and at CO2 flow of 1.5 kg/h. At these conditions the<br />
higher yields were obtained: 1.9% for S. album and 6.5% for B. carterii. The main compounds<br />
contained in the sandalwood volatile oil were: -santalol (46.1%), -santalol (20.4%), epi--santalol<br />
(6.8%) and trans--bergamotol (5.4%). In the corresponding HD essential oil the -santalol and -<br />
santalol contents were lower: 35.0% and 14.0%, respectively. The volatile oil of B. carterii were<br />
made up of incensole acetate (32.0%), octanol acetate (25.1%), incensole (17.8%) and<br />
phyllocladene (7.7%). The percentage of the main constituents in the oil obtained by HD was<br />
quite different. It contained larger amounts of octanol acetate (45.2%) and phyllocladene (13.2%)<br />
and lower amounts of incesole (6.1%) and incensole acetate (13.0%).<br />

Abstract: The use of gas chromatography (GC)-mass spectrometry (MS), GC-time-of-flight MS<br />
(TOFMS), comprehensive two-dimensional GC (GCxGC)-flame ionization detection (FID), and<br />
GCxGC-TOFMS is discussed for the characterization of the eight important representative<br />
components, including Z-alpha-santalol, epi-alpha-bisabolol, Z-alpha-trans-bergamotol, epi-betasantalol,<br />
Z-beta-santalol, E,E-farnesol, Z-nuciferol, and Z-lanceol, in the oil of West Australian<br />
sandalwood (Santalum spicatum). Single-column GC-MS lacks the resolving power to separate<br />
all of the listed components as pure peaks and allow precise analytical measurement of individual<br />
component abundances. With enhanced peak resolution capabilities in GCxGC, these<br />
components are sufficiently well resolved to be quantitated using flame ionization detection,<br />
following initial characterization of components by using GCxGC-TOFMS.<br />

content in sandalwood chip samples. The correlation between the NIR spectral data and the a-<br />
santalol content from the GC-MS analysis was very high (R2 = 0.93). The feasibility study<br />
indicates that it is possible to use FT-NIRS to predict -santalol content in sandalwood chip<br />
samples. The technique of utilising NIRS technology for sandalwood quality and quantity<br />
determination needs to be further developed to be utilised as a tool for commercial applications.<br />

2006. An Indian sandalwood plantation in the Ord Valley is undergoing its biggest expansion in<br />
seven years. Tropical Forestry Services is planting a further 235 hectares of the exotic hardwood,<br />
increasing its total plantation to more than 800 hectares. The company plans to harvest its first<br />
crop in 2012, banking on continuing strong demand from Asia, Europe and the United States.<br />
Chief executive Tom Cullity says the company is planning processing facilities at Kununurra to<br />
produce sandalwood oil which is used for perfumes and cosmetics. "Oil is from the hardwood.<br />
Over $100,000 Australian for a tonne of hardwood. The sandalwood oil that is distilled from the<br />
hardwood is very valuable and it's used in a lot of perfumes and cosmetics," he said. The other<br />
major grower of indian sandalwood in the Ord, ITC Limited, has now planted 750 hectares,<br />
owned by investors.Its first harvest is planned for 2014.<br />

The head of one of the world's leading fragrance companies believes the Ord Valley in Western<br />
Australia will overtake India, as the major producer of Indian sandalwood. The Ord has the only<br />
6
commerical crop of Indian sandalwood trees in the world. With a global shortage, oil from the<br />
processed timber is currently worth around $US1800 per kilogram. Georges Ferrando, from<br />
Albert Vieille, says with a processing plant due to be built in Kununurra next year, the region will<br />
become a world leader within five years. "India is number one in supplying sandalwood oil, but I<br />
think very, very quickly, Kununurra will become the supplier number one in the world," he says.<br />

07.02.2008. <strong>Cropwatch</strong> comments. Givaudin announced a partnership with Mount Romance,<br />
according to the article, and we are also informed that Givaudin claim to be the first fragrance<br />
house using an aboriginal source of wood, since we are told that the sandalwood is harvested by<br />
aboriginal communities in SW Australia, and inspected by the independent indigenous<br />
certification body, the Songman Circle of Wisdom. Full details can be seen at<br />
http://www.cosmeticsdesign-europe.com/news/ng.aspn=83107-givaudan-fragrance-naturalehtical.<br />
Mount Romance’s involvement with emu oil was quite well known (5,000 litres claimed to<br />
have been produced in 1997), as is Stephen Birkbeck’s (MD at Mount Romance) previous trackrecord<br />
in crocodile & turtle farming. Given this animal-product-exploitation scenario, the “ethical<br />
sustainability relationship” between Givaudin & Mount Romance woulf have probably ring hollow<br />
with many ecology-concious consumers & vegetarians, at least. Interestingly, the farm gate value<br />
of the emu-farming industry was put at $6-8 million/y (CoAS 2003), compared with a valuation of<br />
(only) $12m for the whole of the Australian tea tree oil industry. Opposition to emu farming in<br />
Australia by the Australian Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, can be viewed<br />

agreement with Mount Romance for supply steam-distilled <strong>Sandalwood</strong> oil (instead, apparently,<br />
of the solvent extract initially marketed by Mount Romance as ‘oil’) More details, as well as their<br />

Western Australia: size structure & dry-sided stems” Rangeland Journal 21(2), 220-228.<br />
Abstract. Population size structure of sandalwood (Santalum spicatum) was studied on four<br />
pastoral leases near Paynes Find and Menzies, in semi-arid Western Australia. Stem diameter,<br />
height, height to crown and the orientation of dry-sided stems were recorded for 1017 individual<br />
sandalwood. Populations of S. spicatum at Paynes Find contained only mature trees, indicating<br />
no successful recruitment for at least 30 years. In contrast, populations of S. spicatum at Menzies<br />
had a high proportion of seedlings and saplings. Crown measurements of mature S. spicatum<br />
trees indicated high grazing intensity at Paynes Find: mean height to crown at Paynes Find (147-<br />
148 cm) was significantly higher than Menzies (92-94 cm). Dry-side percentage differed<br />
significantly between directional faces, consistent with sun damage. Highest mean dry-side<br />
percentages were on stem sides facing the sun between midday and late afternoon: west, northwest,<br />
south-west and north. This directional pattern was the same between pastoral leases, and<br />
8
there was no interaction between pastoral lease and dry-side direction. Mean percentage of<br />
mature trees with a dry-sided stem was also significantly higher at Paynes Find (76-82%) than at<br />
Menzies (42-46%). Significantly less foliage low to the ground on mature trees at Paynes Find<br />
may have exposed the stems to more sun damage. Land systems did not significantly influence<br />
dry-side direction on Burnerbinmah or Goongarrie. No S. spicatum seedlings or saplings had a<br />
dry-sided stem.<br />

A. microbotrya and A. hemiteles) on the establishment and growth of sandalwood (Santalum<br />
spicatum) was examined at two sites in the wheatbelt, Western Australia, Australia. The host<br />
seedlings were planted in June 1998, and four S. spicatum seeds were planted adjacent to each<br />
host at age 1 year (May 1999). Direct sowing S. spicatum near 1-year-old host seedlings again<br />
proved to be a successful establishment technique, with 81-91% germination per spot, at both<br />
sites. At age 3 years, the survival of S. spicatum near A. saligna (94%) and A. acuminata (81%)<br />
was significantly greater than near A. hemiteles (45%). At the same age, the mean stem diameter<br />
of S. spicatum growing near A. saligna was 53 mm, significantly greater than near A. acuminata<br />
(33 mm), A. microbotrya (20 mm) and A. hemiteles (11 mm). Growth was superior at the<br />
Dandaragan site, with S. spicatum near A. saligna having a mean stem diameter of 59 mm and a<br />
mean height of 2.3 m. At the host age of 4 years, the mean height of A. microbotrya (4.3 m) was<br />
significantly greater than A. saligna (3.3 m), A. acuminata (3.2 m) and A. hemiteles (1.1 m).<br />
Between host ages of 1 and 4 years, the mean survival of A. saligna dropped by 27%,<br />
significantly more than the other host species (2.5-10%). Mean potassium and phosphorus<br />
concentrations in the foliage of S. spicatum were significantly higher near A. saligna than near A.<br />
hemiteles. The mean potassium:calcium ratio was highest near A. microbotrya (2.2-3.7) at both<br />
sites. Stem water potentials in S. spicatum were significantly lower near A. microbotrya (-2.9<br />
MPa) than near A. hemiteles (-2.2 MPa) at Dandaragan. There were no significant differences<br />
between S. spicatum stem water potentials at Narrogin.<br />

<strong>Sandalwood</strong> (Santalum spictum) grown in plantations in south-western Australia." <strong>Sandalwood</strong><br />
Research Newsletter 19, 4-7 Abstract. Aromatic timber from S. spicatum is a valuable commodity,<br />
and this species hasthe potential to provide an income to farmers in the medium annual rainfall<br />
(400-600 mm) regions of the wheatbelt. Since 1987, S. spicatum plantations have<br />
beensuccessfully established in the wheatbelt, by direct seeding near 1-2 year old host seedlings,<br />
9
especially Acacia acuminata. This establishment technique has been very effective, with over 80<br />
% survival per spot, and mean stem diameters (at 150 mm above the ground) increasing at 10-12<br />
mm yr-1near A. acuminata. Allowing two years to establish both A. acuminata and S. spicatum,<br />
and then a mean stem diameter growth of only 7 mm yr-1for 18 years, the S. spicatum are<br />
expected to reach commercial size (127 mm) at plantation age 20 years. At this age, the<br />
expected yields are approximately 4.4 tonnes ha-1, with a net return ofover AU $14,000 ha-1.<br />
The sandalwood trees are also producing 60-170 kg ha- 1of seeds at age only 4-6 years. The<br />
value of the seeds may also provide a supple-mentary income to the sandalwood growers, while<br />
they are waiting for the trees to reach commercial size. <strong>Cropwatch</strong> comments: The authors<br />
state that core samples taken from 10-year old trees produced oil containing 16.7 to 21.1% α- &<br />
β-santalols, “which are the compounds that produce the distinct sandalwood fragrance”<br />
referencing Adams et al. (1975), The authors take no account of the effect on the odour profile of<br />
other major components found in the oil, such as the presence of 17.8% to 20.5% farnesol, a<br />
sesquiterpene alcohol recently identified as a sensitiser by IFRA and the subject of a recent<br />

genome of Western Australian sandalwood (Santalum spicatum) Heredity 91(4), 389-395.<br />
Abstract. Western Australian sandalwood (Santalum spicatum) is widespread throughout Western<br />
Australia across the semiarid and arid regions. The diversity and phylogeographic patterns within<br />
the chloroplast genome of S. spicatum were investigated using restriction fragment length<br />
polymorphism analysis of 23 populations. The chloroplast diversity was structured into two main<br />
clades that were geographically separated, one centred in the southern (semiarid region) and the<br />
other in the northern (arid) region. Fragmentation due to climatic instability was identified as the<br />
most likely influence on the differentiation of the lineages. The lineage in the arid region showed a<br />
greater level of differentiation than that in the southern region, suggesting a higher level of gene<br />
flow or a more recent range expansion of sandalwood in the southern region. The<br />
phylogeographic pattern in the chloroplast genome is congruent with that detected in the nuclear<br />
genome, which identified different genetic influences between the regions and also suggested a<br />
more recent expansion of sandalwood in the southern region.<br />
Byrne M., McDonald B., Broadhurst L. & Brand J. (2003) “Regional genetic differentiation in<br />
Western Australian sandalwood (Santalum spicatum) as revealed by nuclear RFLP analysis.”<br />
Theoretical & Applied Genetics 107(7), 1208-1214. Abstract. Western Australian sandalwood,<br />
Santalum spicatum, is widespread in the semi-arid and arid regions of Western Australia, and<br />
there is some morphological variation suggestive of two ecotypes. The level and structuring of<br />
genetic diversity within the species was investigated using anonymous nuclear RFLP loci.<br />
Santalum spicatum showed moderate levels of genetic diversity compared to other Australian<br />
tree species. The northern populations in the arid region showed greater levels of diversity and<br />
less population differentiation than the southern populations in the semi-arid region due to<br />
differences in the distribution of rare alleles. Equilibrium between drift and gene flow in the<br />
northern populations indicated that they have been established for a long period of time with<br />
stable conditions conducive to gene flow. In contrast, the southern populations showed a<br />
relationship between drift and gene flow indicative of a pattern of fragmentation and isolation<br />
where drift has greater effect than gene flow. The different patterns of diversity suggest that the<br />
ecotypes in the two regions have been subject to differences in the relative influences of drift and<br />
gene flow during their evolutionary history.<br />

Fox J.E.D. (1997) "Why is Santalum spicatum common near granite rocks" J. Royal Soc. of<br />
Western Australia 80, 209-220. Abstract. Sandford Rocks Nature Reserve is dominated by a<br />
large granite outcrop. This reserve is notably well-endowed with trees of the root parasite<br />
sandalwood (Santalum spicatum). These are comparatively common in and among granite<br />
exposures. Trees attain 4 m in height and 20 cm basal diameter on favourable sites but are small<br />
gnarled shrubs in rock fissures. Fruiting ability differs considerably between trees. Despite<br />
apparently high densities of rabbits, continuous regeneration appears to have occurred, but only<br />
in the vicinity of parent trees. The reserve contains a number of distinct vegetation associations<br />
that are soil determined. Although sandalwood is common near exposed granite it is rarely found<br />
11
in association with Eucalyptus stands. It is suggested that the water-shedding properties of the<br />
granite exposures are less important to sustaining sandalwood than the presence of preferentially<br />
parasitised host species.<br />

Harbaugh D. (2007) "A taxonomic revision of Australian northern sandalwood (Santalum<br />
lanceolatum, Santalaceae)." Australian Systematic Botany 20(5) 409–416. Abstract. A previously<br />
published molecular phylogenetic analysis of the sandalwood genus, Santalum L. (Santalaceae),<br />
identified that the Australian endemic northern sandalwood, S. lanceolatum R.Br., is not<br />
monophyletic and contains a distinct, yet cryptic, lineage within it as currently circumscribed. This<br />
study examines nuclear ribosomal gene sequences of additional specimens from across its<br />
geographic range, and 30 morphological characters, in order to revise the taxonomy of S.<br />
lanceolatum sensu lat. (s.l.) and the segregate species that should bear the name S. leptocladum<br />
Gand. Santalum lanceolatum sensu stricto (s.s.) is distributed in the humid to subhumid regions<br />
of northern Australia north of 20°S latitude, whereas S. leptocladum occurs in the arid and<br />
temperate regions of central and southern Australia. Putative interspecific hybrids were<br />
discovered in two localities, and may represent either natural or human-mediated hybridisation.<br />
The results of this study have major economic and conservation implications because S.<br />
lanceolatum s.s., which is known to have higher levels of fragrance compounds than S.<br />
leptocladum, has a much more restricted range than previously thought.<br />

Santalaceae) Inferred from Low-Copy Nuclear and Flow Cytometry Data." Int. J Plant Sci.<br />
169(5), 677–685. Abstract. It has been argued that polyploids are better adapted than diploids for<br />
long-distance dispersal to and establishment on oceanic islands. To address this issue in a<br />
molecular phylogenetic framework, the extensive history of auto- and allopolyploidization in<br />
Santalum (Santalaceae), the sandalwood genus, was studied by sequencing the low-copy<br />
nuclear gene waxy and investigating the ploidy level of all 16 species. Ploidy level was estimated<br />
by measuring the C value (total amount of DNA per nucleus) using flow cytometry and calibrating<br />
it by known chromosome numbers and new root-tip chromosome counts of several taxa. Results<br />
indicate four ploidy levels in Santalum: diploid (n=10), tetraploid (n=20), hexaploid (n=30), and<br />
octoploid (n=40). The waxy phylogeny suggests that at least six independent polyploid events<br />
occurred in the history of Santalum: two allopolyploid events between distantly related species<br />
12
and four putatively autopolyploid events. An additional hybrid event between two tetraploid<br />
Hawaiian clades evidently produced the tetraploid species S. boninense, endemic to the Bonin<br />
Islands. By finding more than twice as many long-distance island colonizations from polyploid as<br />
from diploid ancestors, this study provides novel evidence for the role of polyploidy in plant<br />
colonization throughout the Pacific Islands.<br />

the antimicrobial activity of essential oils has not been well studied. The effect of four essential<br />
oils: Backhousia citriodora, Melaleuca alternifolia, Lavandula angustifolia and Santalum spicatum<br />
(0.1% to 10%) on the pH of two commonly used media, nutrient broth and Iso-sensitest broth,<br />
was therefore undertaken. Small (less than 0.5 pH units) but statistically significant differences<br />
between the pH of the two media followed the addition of M. alternifolia, L. angustifolia and S.<br />
spicatum essential oil. In general the effect on pH was greatest at higher concentrations and the<br />
fall in pH was greatest in the nutrient broth. The addition of B. citriodora essential oil to nutrient<br />
broth resulted in a fall in pH from 7.29 +/- 0.02 (no oil) to 5.2 +/- 0.03 (10% oil). This effect was<br />
not observed in the Iso-sensitest broth.<br />

flowers anthese between 0430 and 1930 hr and soon after the anthers dehisce. The pollen grains<br />
are viable for 16 hr and the stigma is receptive for 48 hr. Nectar production begins 24 hr after<br />
anthesis and continues through flower life. Ants, bees, flies, butterflies and wasps forage at the<br />
flowers; only the last two groups serve as pollinators, wasps being the "major".<br />

release details of this study, allegedly funded by Mount Romance, which was said to include<br />
animal testing experiments. Scantox politely declined to release this confidential data. Later all<br />
references to this funded research were removed from Mount Romance’s internet presence,<br />
perhaps because many perfumery companies will not accept perfumery materials manufactured<br />
by companies who have tested their products on animals. However some aromatherapy oil<br />
traders (apparently customers of Mount Romance) failed to erase the data as promptly, which is<br />
where we initially learned of the Scantox studies.<br />

Alternanthera dentata." <strong>Sandalwood</strong> Research Newsletter 16. Abstract. The growth of Santalum<br />
album seedlings and the preferred pot host Alternanthera dentata under nursery conditions is the<br />
first important step in establishing this species in planta-tions. A 19 week pot trial was conducted<br />
in a glasshouse at Curtin University of Technol-ogy, Perth, Western Australia. The aim was to test<br />
whether an increase in host density im-proved growth of sandalwood seedlings. S. album<br />
14
seedlings had a tendency to grow betterat lower densities of A. dentata (one or two hosts per<br />
pot), compared with higher densities (three or four hosts per pot). Seedlings with two hosts had<br />
greater heights, dry root andshoot weights and leaf area, while seedlings with one pot host had<br />
more leaves. There wereno clear trends between number of haustorial connections made as host<br />
density increased.As host density increased, the leaf area, root and shoot weights of A. dentata<br />
declined. Bothparasite and host were more affected by competition, however the host was more<br />
affected byintraspecific competition, indicated by large competitive responses to each other. S.<br />
album seedlings had less effect or response to density of A. dentata after 19 weeks, perhaps due<br />
tonot being limited by the same resources as the host at this early establishment phase<br />

mouse adipose tissue, brain & liver.” Lipids 32(9), 965-969. Abstract. <strong>Sandalwood</strong> (Santalum<br />
spicatum) seed oil, which occurs to about 50% of the weight of the seed kernels, contains 30-<br />
35% of total fatty acids (FA) as ximenynic acid (XMYA). This study was designed to obtain basic<br />
information on changes in tissue FA composition and on the metabolic fate of XMYA in mice fed a<br />
sandalwood seed oil (SWSO)-enriched diet. Female mice were randomly divided into three<br />
groups, each receiving different semisynthetic diets containing 5.2% (w/w) fat (standard<br />
laboratory diet), 15% canola oil, or 15% SWSO for 8 wk. The effects of SWSO as a dietary fat on<br />
the FA composition of adipose tissue, brain, and liver lipids were determined by analyses of FA<br />
methyl ester derivatives of extracted total lipid. The FA compositions of the liver and adipose<br />
tissue were markedly altered by the dietary fats, and mice fed on a SWSO-enriched diet were<br />
found to contain XMYA but only in low concentration (0.3-3%) in these tissues; XMYA was not<br />
detected in brain. Oleic acid was suggested to be a principal XMYA biotransformation product.<br />
The results were interpreted to suggest that the metabolism of XMYA may involve both<br />
biohydrogenation and oxidation reactions.<br />

30. Abstract. Changes in the proximate composition of developing seeds of sandalwood<br />
(Santalum spicatum R Br) were quantified. The developing fruits were collected regularly over a<br />
period of 5 months commencing 14 days after flower opening. Rapid deposition of seed lipid<br />
began at about 91 days after flowering (DAF) at a level of 4 g kg-1 and continued to about 396 g<br />
kg-1 at 147 DAF. Protein and ash contents displayed similar trends to that of lipid with a<br />
corresponding decrease in moisture content. Fatty acid analysis of the seed oil demonstrated<br />
marked changes in composition during seed development. In particular, major increases in oleic<br />
and ximenynic acids were noted with corresponding decreases in the other fatty acids.<br />

Abstract. A factorial experiment investigated the effect of six pot host species treatments<br />
(Alternanthera nana, Sesbania formosa, Atalaya hemiglauca, Acacia hemignosta, Crotalaria<br />
retusa and no pot host), two Santalum album seedling age treatments (24 and 17 weeks at field<br />
establishment) and a supplementary nursery nutrition treatment (2×100 ml 5% Ca Wuxal®) on<br />
Sa. album survival and growth 287 days after field establishment. Significant variation exists<br />
between pot host species in increasing Sa. album survival and growth. Al. nana and Se. formosa<br />
pot host species significantly increased Sa. album survival, height and diameter. Sa. album<br />
survival, height and diameter was significantly better with supplementary nursery nutrition. Sa.<br />
album survival and height was significantly greater and pot host species survival was significantly<br />
poorer with older Sa. album seedlings. Older seedlings and supplementary nursery nutrition gave<br />
higher levels of Sa. album field survival and growth when parasitised to poor pot host species but<br />
not when parasitised to satisfactory pot host species.<br />

occur across the south western Pacific, Santalum austrocaledonicum in New Caledonia and<br />
Vanuatu, and Santalum yasi in the Fiji Islands and Tonga. Communities do the majority of<br />
sandalwood plantings, manage and harvest existing stands. There is a growing interest among<br />
villagers, other smallscale growers and Governments to expand the scale of planting in both<br />
countries. The most common type of planting is garden plantings of sandalwood by villagers.<br />
However, large investors and Governments now starting to invest in plantations across the south<br />

album & S. spicatum.” J of Exptl. Botany 49(320), 563-571. Abstract. A reproducible system for<br />
somatic embryogenesis and plantlet formation of sandalwood has been developed. A high<br />
frequency (100%) of somatic embryos were induced directly from various explants in MS<br />
(Murashige and Skoog, 1962) medium with thidiazuron (1 or 2 M) or indirectly in medium<br />
containing 2,4-D plus thidiazuron. Within 8 weeks, white globular somatic embryos or friable<br />
embryogenic tissue developed on cultured explants. In S. album the globular somatic embryos<br />
were transferred to MS medium supplemented with IAA (6 M) and kinetin (1 and M) where they<br />
developed further, multiplied and maintained friable embryogenic tissue. After 15-30 d, mature<br />
somatic embryos (1-2 mm) with well-developed cotyledons were separated and subcultured on to<br />
medium containing GA3 (6 M) for germination. Once germinated, elongated somatic embryos<br />
(10-20 mm long) grew further in MS supplemented with lower GA3 (3 M). In S. spicatum, the<br />
addition of casein hydrolysate and coconut milk was necessary for plantlet development from<br />
somatic embryos. From histological studies, it appeared that primary somatic embryos arose from<br />
single cells or had a multicellular origin from the epidermis or cortical parenchyma. Secondary<br />
somatic embryos and friable embryogenic tissue differentiated from groups of proembryogenic<br />
cells from a superficial layer of the primary somatic<br />

spicatum & S. album.” Australian J of Botany 45(6), 1083-1095. Abstract. The flower morphology,<br />
receptivity and sexual compatibility between genotypes and species were determined in Western<br />
Australian sandalwood (Santalum spicatum) and Indian sandalwood (S. album). The results<br />
showed that the stigma of both species became receptive at anthesis and reached a peak at 3 or<br />
4 days after anthesis. Pollen tubes took 2 days to grow to the ovary when pollinated at anthesis,<br />
and 1 day when pollinated 2 or 3 days after anthesis. The egg apparatus matured at least 2 days<br />
after pollination and varied between genotypes. Fertilisation occurred 2 or 3 days following cross<br />
pollination. Although 10–40% of ovules were fertilised following intra-specific crosses of both<br />
species, the average initial fruit set was much lower: 4% in S. spicatum and 19% in S. album.<br />
Most immature fruit (75–80%) abscised following intra-specific pollination. The number of pollen<br />
tubes that grew in styles after self-and inter-specific pollination was lower than that for intraspecific<br />
pollination. Following self and inter-specific pollination, growth of pollen tubes was<br />
arrested in the style, ovary and around the embryo sac; a few penetrated the embryo sac. Initial<br />
fruit set was low and developing fruit abscised prematurely. The results indicated that pre- and<br />
post-fertilisation mechanisms control self-incompatibility and inter-specific incompatibility between<br />
the sandalwood species.<br />

and pollen tube growth in the quandong were studied using light and scanning electron<br />
microscopy. The flowers had four perianth lobes and four stamens whose anthers dehisced by<br />
longitudinal slits. The pollen became caught in long unicellular hairs adjacent to the anthers. The<br />
central disc secreted nectar through raised stomata. The stigma papilla cells had a cuticle with a<br />
rough surface overlying thick PAS-positive walls. The half-inferior ovary normally contained two<br />
ovules. The embryo sac extended beyond the ovule at the micropylar end and into the placenta at<br />
the chalazal end. Half of the ovaries observed at both anthesis and 4 days following anthesis had<br />
no embryo sacs and the other half had one embryo sac. Occasional ovaries had two embryo sacs<br />
and some underdeveloped embryo sacs were observed that did not extend beyond the ovule or<br />
into the placenta. Pollen tubes had reached the ovary by 1 day following pollination and the<br />
stigma was receptive for 8 days following anthesis. Only half of the pistils had pollen tubes in the<br />
ovary. Unpollinated flowers had no pollen tube growth in the pistil.<br />

merchant incomes from whaling ventures, until today, when it earns several million dollars in<br />
export revenue, the sandalwood industry has played a small but significant part in Australia's<br />
economic development. The history of the industry falls into three major stages: first is the offshore<br />
exploitation of the wood from Sydney, from 1805 to the 1840's and beyond; second is the<br />
free exploitation of Australian grown sandalwood from 1844 to 1929; and finally the period of<br />
government controlled exploitation from 1929 to the present.<br />

Queensland has been based on harvesting from naturally occurring Santalum lanceolatum,<br />
principally from relatively remote areas in northern Queensland between Hughenden and<br />
Normanton. Santalum lanceolatum has a relatively low oil yield in comparison to other<br />
sandalwood species and a consequent lower market value. With declining amounts of natural<br />
sandalwood available for harvest and an increasing market the potential exists for sandalwood<br />
production from plantations. To date, little work has been done in Queensland on production of<br />
<strong>Sandalwood</strong> in plantations. This report details anexperiment established in late 1999 to<br />
investigate the growth and survival of four sandalwood species, viz; Santalum album, S.<br />

haustoria. Can. J. Bot. 84(10), 1608-1616. Abstract. Structural attributes of Santalum album L.<br />
(<strong>Sandalwood</strong>) haustoria have been long overlooked in the literature. This is surprising since<br />
successful haustorial formation is key to the survival of individuals of this ecologically and<br />
economically important plant. We investigated the morphology of haustoria formed by S. album<br />
attached to one of its principal hosts Tithonia diversifolia (Hemsley) A. Gray. The bell-shaped<br />
mature haustoria were composed of a peripheral hyaline body and a centrally located penetration<br />
peg. The parasite penetration peg can penetrate the host by means of direct pressure and the<br />
secretion of cell-wall-degrading enzymes when forming a successful graft union. The latter<br />
mechanism is supported by this study as we observed no evidence of collapsed host cells as the<br />
result of parasite applied pressure. Upon reaching the xylem tissue of the host root, the<br />
penetration peg formed a thin ellipsoidal disc and the host–parasite interface was almost entirely<br />
composed of parenchymatous tissue. Luminal continuities were absent between the xylem<br />
conducting tissues of the partners, thus suggesting mass flow of solutes is unlikely to occur in this<br />
association. High densities of contact parenchyma were found at the host–parasite interface; thus<br />
it is probable that these are the principal structures formed by the parasite that facilitate the<br />
acquisition of host-derived xylem resources. This study therefore concludes that haustorial<br />
anatomy of S. album supports cross membrane (potentially selective) uptake of host-derived<br />
solutes as opposed to mass flow via vascular continuity.<br />

Western Australia’s <strong>Sandalwood</strong> Industry” Tijdschrift voor Economische en Sociale Geografie<br />
94(5), 564-575. Abstract. Diversification and niche marketing have become very important<br />
economic strategies for many rural small businesses, farmers and communities. As part of these<br />
strategies, new opportunities often emerge for traditional products and industries. In the case of<br />
Western Australia, this has contributed to the revitalisation of the sandalwood industry. While<br />
sandalwood has been exported from Western Australia for more than 150 years, for much of the<br />
second half of the twentieth century it was of little economic significance. In recent years,<br />
19
however, the industry has become increasingly entrepreneurial, successfully marketing its<br />
products into niche markets in the global economy. For farmers and communities in rural areas,<br />
the revitalisation of the sandalwood industry has also provided opportunities for economic<br />
diversification and a profitable way of tackling land degradation.<br />

populations of Santalum lanceolatum.” <strong>Sandalwood</strong> Research Newsletter 14, 1–4. Abstract.<br />
Santalum lanceolatum, the northern sandalwood or plumbush, was very heavily harvested in<br />
Victoria and New South Wales in the late 1800s. Clearing, fire and grazing have also contributed<br />
to the species’ decline. Only seven populations remain in Victoria, where we studied the five<br />
southernmost populations of the species. Since exclusion of grazing animals, the remnant<br />
populations have been reproducing asexually by root suckers. However, we observed little or no<br />
fruit production in the populations, and allozyme and RAPD analyses suggested that sexual<br />
reproduction had not been contributing to recruitment. Each population appeared to exist as a<br />
unique single clone composed of numerous ramets of a single genet. Therefore, conservation of<br />
the species in Victoria may require protection of all remnant populations, and possibly the<br />
establishment of new populations.<br />

sexual reproductive failure in remnant populations of Santalum lanceolatum (Santalaceae)."<br />
Biological Conservation 96(1), 45-54 Abstract. Habitat fragmentation can have important<br />
conservation consequences for clonal plant species that possess self-incompatibility<br />
mechanisms, as lack of genetic variability within remnant populations may result in sexual<br />
reproductive failure. Allozymes and RAPDs were used in this study to determine the extent of<br />
clonality in remnant Victorian populations of the northern sandalwood, Santalum lanceolatum<br />
(Santalaceae), a species that has been heavily wild-harvested. S. lanceolatum can reproduce<br />
asexually by root suckers, and each population was identified as a unique single clone composed<br />
of numerous ramets of a single genet. Examination of pollination and fruit set indicated that little<br />
or no sexual reproduction was occurring in the remnants, due to pollen sterility in one population<br />
and self-incompatibility or pistil dysfunction in others. Clonality, genetic isolation and sexual<br />
reproductive failure indicate that preservation of each population, and possibly the establishment<br />
of new ones, should be objectives of the conservation strategy for the S. lanceolatum remnants.<br />

plumbush, was very heavily harvested in Victoria and New South Wales in the late 1800s.<br />
Clearing, fire and grazing have also contributed to the species’ decline. Only seven populations<br />
remain in Victoria, where we studied the five southernmost populations of the species. Since<br />
exclusion of grazing animals, the remnant populations have been reproducing asexually by root<br />
suckers. However, we observed little or no fruit production in the populations, and allozyme and<br />
RAPD analyses suggested that sexual reproduction had not been contributing to recruitment.<br />
Each population appeared to exist as a unique single clone composed of numerous ramets of a<br />
single genet. Therefore, conservation of the species in Victoria may require protection of all<br />
remnant populations, and possibly the establishment of new populations.<br />

Soc of Western Australia 85, 37-42. Abstract. Interest and investment in a plantation sandalwood<br />
(Santalum spicatum (R Br) A DC) industry in southern Western Australia has been steadily<br />
growing over the last few years. Current plantation establishment involves planting host seedlings<br />
in year one and then direct sowing of untreated seeds of the parasitic sandalwood in year two or<br />
three. An innovative establishment technique in which host seedlings of Acacia acuminata Benth<br />
and partially germinated sandalwood seeds are planted on the same day was compared to the<br />
current establishment methods. The study showed that sandalwood and host establishment in<br />
one season is achievable and that it was three times more successful than the most widely used<br />
and promoted technique at present. Results also indicated that water availability influenced the<br />
germination, summer survival and growth of sandalwood. The use of small seedling hosts on<br />
well-watered, cleared land results in a higher rate of sandalwood establishment and growth.<br />

J Integrative Plant Biology 48(3),300-306. Abstract. Flowering, fruit set, embryological<br />
development, and pollination trials were investigated in Santalum album L. Each ovary may have<br />
three to four ovules. Microsporogenesis and megasporogenesis in the same flower were<br />
synchronized at the earlier stages of flower development. However, at anthesis, when pollen was<br />
mature, the magaspore had developed only to the stage of a one- to two-nucleus embryo sac. As<br />
the eight-nucleus embryo sac developed, some mamelon cells began to undergo programmed<br />
cell death, forming holes into which the eight-nucleus embryo sacs extended, becoming "N" or<br />
"S" shaped. The development from a two-nucleus embryo sac to a matured eight-nucleus embryo<br />
sac lasted up to 10 d. Fruit-set from open pollination was less than 2%. The endosperm develops<br />
prior to division of the zygotic embryo and one to three embryos and endosperms were formed in<br />
the same fruit. A mature seed usually germinates to produce one seedling; however, two and<br />
three seedlings from one seed were also observed, albeit at a low frequency. Pollination trials<br />
showed that no seed sets when inflorescences were covered with a bag; however, artificial<br />
pollination could improve fruit set. Our pollination trials and embryological studies proved that the<br />
flower of S. album is dichogamous and fruit set has high heterozygosity.<br />

seedlings." Journal of Tropical and Subtropical Botany 13(3),233-238. Abstract. Semi-parasitism<br />
of sandalwood (Santalum album) seedlings was studied on the basis of the propagation of the<br />
different host plant species. <strong>Sandalwood</strong> plants can grow normally without host plant during its<br />
seed germination and early seedling stage. However, the subsequent growth needs roots of the<br />
host plant. Results indicated that the host plant species had a significant impact on the growth of<br />
sandalwood seedlings and their root haustoria as exhibited by the differences in haustorium's<br />
number, size and adhesiveness. Host plant species such as Hibiscus rosa-sinensis and<br />
Phyllanthus reticulatus were found as good host plants for the growth of sandalwood seedlings.<br />
<strong>Sandalwood</strong> roots lack root hairs, but its vessels were well developed, which are suitable for<br />
absorption of water and nutrients from the host's roots. The semi-parasitism of sandalwood on<br />
Hibiscus roots was also investigated.<br />
Ma G-H. & Bunn E. (2007) "Embryology and pollination trials support dichogamy in Santalum<br />
album L." <strong>Sandalwood</strong> Research Newsletter 23 (Oct 2007) Abstract. Embryo development and<br />
pollination trials were studied in Santalum album L. The formation of the male (microspore) and<br />
female (megaspore) tissues in the same flower were synchronized during the early stages of<br />
flower-bud development. How-ever, at anthesis when pollen was mature, the megaspore had<br />
developed only to the stage of a 1-2 nucleate embryo sac. The development from 2-nucleate<br />
embryo sac to matured 8-nucleate embryo sac lasted up to 10 days. These results indicate<br />
thatthe flower of S. album is dichogamous where the pollen matures before the embryo sac.<br />
Following fertilisation of the ovule the endosperm developed prior to division of the zygotic<br />
embryo, and 1-3 embryos and endosperms were formed in the samefruit. Seed-set resulting from<br />
open pollination was less than 3%. No seed set was observed when inflorescences were<br />
coveredwith a bag; however artificial pollination increased fruit set to14%. Mature seed usually<br />
germinated to produce one seed-ling, but two- and three-seedlings from one seed were also<br />
observed at low frequency<br />

Abstract: With the purpose of propagating high production Clone of Santalum album, the best<br />
season and practical method of grafting, and the selection of shoots for scion are studied. The<br />
preliminary results show: The best season for grafting in Guangzhou District occurs from June to<br />
October, when the daily mean temperature is over 25 degrees C, the side graft is recommedable;<br />
the scion from 1-5-year old young trees is much in favor for grafting than that from adult trees. In<br />
the right condition, side grafting of Santalum album has had up to 80 percent success rate.<br />

23(3), 152-4. Abstract. The authors analyzed the quality of Ligmum Santali Albi formed by the<br />
external stimulation of hormone and windburn by GC-MS-DS. The results showed that the<br />
content of volatile oil is 2.34% in the heart wood formed in 10 years tree age of Santalum album<br />
(SA) after 2 years stimulation continuously with a definite concentration of hormone, which is near<br />
to the 25 years tree age of SA in the same place. The GC-MS analysis showed that the content of<br />
santalol and other chemical components in volatile oil are similar to the 25 years tree age of SA. It<br />
is indicated that a definite concentration of hormone stimulated the SA may shorten the formation<br />
of the heart wood. The heart wood can be also formed by the broken branches after 2 years<br />
windburn, but its content of volatile oil is only 1/2 of the heart wood formed by hormone<br />
stimulation.<br />

volatile oil from heartwood of Wind-damaged Lignum Santali Albi is 1.42%; the content of various<br />
components in the oil and the chromatography of different extracts are similar to those of<br />
reference drug and 25 years old trees. CONCLUSION: Wind-damage should accelerate the<br />
formation of heartwood of Lignum Santali Albi without influence on its quality.<br />

lanceolata): resource assessment & quality variation among poulations in Tanzania: research<br />
note." Southern Hemisphere Forestry Journal 199, 77-88. Abstract. African sandalwood (Osyris<br />
lanceolata) populations occurring in Tanzania were assessed to determine the current resource<br />
status and ascertain variation in quality existing among them. This will provide a guide in the<br />
selection of populations where conservation efforts and improvement programmes can be<br />
concentrated. The resource status was assessed through estimation of the species' density per<br />
unit area and measurements of tree dimensions. Quality variation was assessed by determining<br />
the amount of oil extracted from a given amount of wood and the proportion composition of<br />
23
santalol, a prime determinant of sandalwood oil quality. The study revealed that populations<br />
supporting O. lanceolata in Tanzania occur mostly in arid to semiarid areas with the majority<br />
being on stony and rocky soils. However, big sized trees are supported in humid climates, being<br />
favoured by relatively low soil pH and reasonable amounts of soil nitrogen. Tree density ranged<br />
from 38 individuals to 76 per hectare. The mean tree height was 3, 8 m (2, 1 to 6, 5 m) while the<br />
mean diameter was 5, 7 cm (3, 6 cm to 8, 6 cm). The best quality and quantity of oil came from<br />
populations of relatively arid climates compared to those of humid climates. Populations differed<br />
significantly in both yield and quality. The highest yield obtained was 8, 45 ± 0, 54% from Gubali<br />
population while the highest santalol content (32, 2 ± 1, 2%) was from Bereko populations. Within<br />
trees, quantity and quality of oil was higher in wood portions close to the ground in both the root<br />
and shoot system. The amount decreased toward the root and shoot tip. The root and the shoot<br />
system were similar in quality and quantity of oil. The observed harvesting selectivity is thus<br />
primarily influenced by quality differences among populations while the large dimension and<br />
density differences among populations seem to be secondary. Inclusion of the root systems<br />
during harvesting is also a matter of maximizing the raw material to be collected rather than<br />
differences between the two portions. The exact factors controlling wood quality in the species<br />
have however remained uncertain. Probably, genetic factors alone or in combination with the<br />
environmental factors play a significant role.<br />

biology and regeneration In the dioecious species Osyris lanceolata (African <strong>Sandalwood</strong>) In<br />
Tanzania." Tanzania Journal of Forestry and Nature Conservation 76, 118-133. Abstract. Sex<br />
distribution, reproductive biology and regeneration of African <strong>Sandalwood</strong> (Osyris lanceolata)<br />
were assessed in six natural populations of Tanzania between January 1999 and February 2001.<br />
The aim was to acquire basic information required for efficient management, conservation and<br />
sustainable utilization of the species. The study had four objectives: to assess the spatial<br />
distribution of male and female trees in O. lanceolata supporting stands and whether this has any<br />
significance in influencing the reproductive success; to document the phenological events<br />
occurring between flower initiation and fruit ripening; to examine the reproductive success of<br />
various stages through pollination experiment; and to assess the regeneration mode and potential<br />
of the species. The study revealed that, the distribution of male and female trees in most<br />
populations was random with no evidence of sex clustering. It takes 104 days from flowering until<br />
when 25% of fruit initiated become ripe. About 75% of the initiated fruits become ripe in 163 days.<br />
This study has also demonstrated absence of agamospermy behaviour in O. lanceolata. A limited<br />
reproductive success was noted however, due to either low level of pollen production or limited<br />
pollinators' movement. Assisted pollination significantly increased the reproductive success of the<br />
species. The tree regenerates through seeds, rootstocks and coppice. Of the total regenerating<br />
plants assessed at sapling stage, 61% had originated from rootstock or coppice while 39% came<br />
from seed source. It is concluded that, recruitment of the species relies mainly on rootstock or<br />
coppice source although the importance of seeds cannot be ignored. Thus uprooting of the<br />
species as a mode of harvesting has to be discouraged since the practice is likely to severely limit<br />
the recruitment rate.<br />

treatment of recalcitrant seeds of Africa <strong>Sandalwood</strong> (Osyris lanceolata)." Seed Science<br />
and Technology, 32, 547-560. Abstract. The best seed conditions and environment in which<br />
seeds of Osyris lanceolata could be stored to prolong their life span were investigated at Iringa<br />
Tree Seed Centre, Tanzania, by varying the storage moisture content of seeds and storage<br />
temperatures. The study also investigated the effectiveness of various seed pre-sowing<br />
treatments in enhancing germination and early seedling growth. Seeds stored at 3-5°C, after<br />
being dried to moisture content of 20% retained viability longer than those stored at other<br />
conditions. By the end of the 36th week, the viability was 60% with 0.5% being as an estimated<br />
rate of viability loss per week. Temperatures below 3°C and over 13°C decreased rapidly the life<br />
span of seeds. Moisture content below 15% and over 25% were also noted to be lethal. Thus<br />
seeds of O. lanceolata could be stored at least for short-term supply, although their life span<br />
generally remains short, suggesting the need for further research to find out other better storage<br />
24
conditions. The seed coat covering the embryo plays a significant role in limiting germination by<br />
restricting gas and water entry. It also acts as a mechanical barrier to embryo growth. Complete<br />
removal of the seed coat and soaking in hot water enhanced seed germination (66.5% and<br />
57.5%, respectively), shortened the time of seed to commence germination and promoted early<br />
seedling growth and are thus recommended for adoption. Nevertheless, the highest germination<br />
(66.5%) attained in this study is still unsatisfactory, suggesting the existence of other types of<br />
dormancies. This calls for further investigation to identify the dormancies and the means of<br />
resolving them. The possible existence of chemical dormancies, which was not dealt with in the<br />
present study, be given a priority in future research.<br />

Osyris lanceolata (African <strong>Sandalwood</strong>) and their influence on its early growth performance in<br />
Tanzania." Southern African Forestry Journal 203(1), 55-66. Abstract. Identification of the host<br />
plants of the hemi-parasitic African sandalwood (Osyris lanceolata) and the influence of some on<br />
its early growth performance was investigated at Image, Nundu, Sao Hill and Iringa in the<br />
southern highlands of Tanzania. The aim was to identify host plants that support the growth of O.<br />
lanceolata, and to evaluate the potential of some in promoting its early growth under artificial<br />
establishment. The results revealed that O. lanceolata parasitises a wide range of hosts although<br />
some were preferred. The preferred hosts were Rhus natalensis, Dodonaea viscosa, Tecomaria<br />
capensis, Catha edulis, Apodytes dimidiata, Brachystegia spiciformis, Maytenus acuminatus and<br />
Aphloia theiformis. Of the preferred hosts, Brachytegia spiciformis, Rhus natalensis and<br />
Casuarina equisetifolia promoted most effectively the early growth of O. lanceolata in terms of<br />
height, diameter and overall root and shoot biomass. Possibly the light crown of these host<br />
species and the nitrogen fixing ability of C. equisetifolia played a significant role in conferring this<br />
advantage. The species are thus recommended as appropriate host plants when raising O.<br />
lanceolata seedlings for planting. However, a decision on whether these hosts will support the<br />
growth of O. lanceolata at a later stage is subject to further experimentation as they may only be<br />
serving as initial or intermediate hosts as reported in a related species Santalum album.<br />

lanceolata (African sandalwood) through air layering: Its potential and limitation in Tanzania."<br />
Southern African Forestry Journal 207, 7-14. Synopsis. Propagation of African sandalwood<br />
(Osyris lanceolata) by air layering (marcotting) was investigated at Sao Hill, Tanzania, aiming at<br />
providing an alternative propagation technique to the use of seeds or cuttings that germinate or<br />
root poorly. Air layers were initiated on the young shoots (1 – 2 years old) of mature O. lanceolata<br />
trees growing at Sao Hill catchment Forest. After root initiation, which took 8 weeks, they were<br />
detached from the parents, potted in polyethylene tubes and reared at the nursery for a further<br />
three months. The factors assessed in this experiment were the effect of time at which air layers<br />
were initiated (i.e. February, June, September and December); and the influence of IBA as<br />
rooting promoter at three concentrations (50, 100 and 150 ppm). From the data collected it was<br />
observed that rooting success of up to 80% can be achieved from air layers, making this<br />
propagation technique a viable alternative to seedlings or cutting propagation. Rooting success<br />
was influenced by both the season and application of rooting hormone with optimal rooting being<br />
achieved during June and September with the addition of IBA at a rate of 50 ppm. The<br />
significance increase in rootability of air layers during June and September may be linked to the<br />
advantage of the dry season in Tanzania where reduction of plant development activities such as<br />
budding, leafing and flowering in the dormant dry season might have reduced resource<br />
competition and thus promoting the observed rooting.<br />

of stem cutting, season of collection and auxin application on the vegetative propagation of<br />
African <strong>Sandalwood</strong> (Osyris lanceolata) in Tanzania." Southern African Forestry Journal 201, 13-<br />
24. Abstract. An investigation into the possibility of propagating O. lanceolata through stem<br />
cutting was carried out at Tanzania Tree Seed Agency, Iringa Zone, Tanzania. The aim was to<br />
test the potential of stem cuttings in providing an alternative/supplement to the use of seeds that<br />
are constrained with germination and storage problems. Three treatments were investigated on<br />
the rooting success and subsequent nursery performance of the cuttings: the effect of season at<br />
which cuttings are collected i.e. December, February, June and September; the effect of origin of<br />
stem cutting in a shoot, i.e. basal and terminal portions; and the effect of different levels of IBA as<br />
root promoters, i.e. 0, 50, 100 and 150 ppm. The results revealed that stem cuttings collected<br />
from the sprouting stumps have a potential to be used in propagating O. lanceolata. Season at<br />
which cuttings are collected; origin of the stem cuttings in a shoot and application of auxins<br />
influenced the rooting success. Stem cuttings collected in September, originating from the basal<br />
portion had the best rooting (43.8 + 3.9%). This is possibly related to the high levels of stored<br />
food in the plant after undergoing active photosynthesis during the rain season, November-May.<br />
Auxin application in interaction with the season at which cuttings were collected enhanced the<br />
number of cuttings that rooted, the number of roots formed (13 + 0.4), the length (14 + 0.3 cm)<br />
and biomass of roots (6.95 + 3.9 g) produced. The concentration to be applied for effective<br />
rooting depended on the season at which cuttings were collected. Of the origin of stem cuttings,<br />
basal portions had better rooting than the terminal portion. The high nutrition status and low<br />
nitrogen content of basal portions may play a role in enhancing their performance. Thus when<br />
raising O. lanceolata from stem cuttings, best rooting is obtained from those raised between June<br />
and September using cuttings from the basal origin of the juvenile shoots. Application of IBA<br />
between 50 and 100 ppm further enhances rooting success.<br />

Anopheles, and Culex larvae (Diptera, Culicidae)." Parasitol Res. 99(4), 466-72. Abstract.<br />
Mosquitoes in the larval stage are attractive targets for pesticides because mosquitoes breed in<br />
water, and thus, it is easy to deal with them in this habitat. The use of conventional pesticides in<br />
the water sources, however, introduces many risks to people and/or the environment. Natural<br />
pesticides, especially those derived from plants, are more promising in this aspect. Aromatic<br />
plants and their essential oils are very important sources of many compounds that are used in<br />
different respects. In this study, the oils of 41 plants were evaluated for their effects against thirdinstar<br />
larvae of Aedes aegypti, Anopheles stephensi and Culex quinquefasciatus. At first, the oils<br />
were surveyed against A. aegypti using a 50-ppm solution. Thirteen oils from 41 plants (camphor,<br />
thyme, amyris, lemon, cedarwood, frankincense, dill, myrtle, juniper, black pepper, verbena,<br />
helichrysum and sandalwood) induced 100% mortality after 24 h, or even after shorter periods.<br />
The best oils were tested against third-instar larvae of the three mosquito species in<br />
concentrations of 1, 10, 50, 100 and 500 ppm. The lethal concentration 50 values of these oils<br />
ranged between 1 and 101.3 ppm against A. aegypti, between 9.7 and 101.4 ppm for A.<br />
stephensi and between 1 and 50.2 ppm for C. quinquefasciatus.<br />

album L., was tested for in vitro antiviral activity against Herpes simplex viruses-1 and -2. It was<br />
found that the replication of these viruses was inhibited in the presence of the oil. This effect was<br />
dose-dependent and more pronounced against HSV-1. A slight diminution of the effect was<br />
observed at higher multiplicity of infections. The oil was not virucidal and showed no cytotoxicity<br />

sandalwood essential oils of various origin." Flavour and Fragrance Journal 21(3), 465 - 468.<br />
Abstract. In total, eight samples of different sandalwoods [Amyris balsamifera L., Santalum album<br />
L. and Santalum spicatum (R.Br.) A.DC.] and a mixture of - and -santalols, as well as eugenol as<br />
reference compound, were tested by an agar dilution and agar diffusion method for their<br />
antimicrobial activities against the yeast Candida albicans, the Gram-positive bacterium<br />
27
Staphylococcus aureus and the Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas<br />
aeruginosa and Klebsiella pneumoniae. The main compounds of each essential oil were<br />
investigated by gas chromatographic-spectroscopic (GC-FID and GC-MS) and -olfactory methods<br />
to obtain information about the inßuence of these volatiles on the observed antimicrobial effects.<br />
For the santalol mixture, as well as for one S. album and one S. spicatum sample with moderate<br />
concentrations of santalols, antimicrobial activity was found against all the strains used. The A.<br />
balsamifera sample, containing only a small quantity of -santalol and nearly no -santalol, showed<br />
high effects only against Klebsiella pneumoniae, while against the other strains weak or no<br />
activity was observed. Therefore, santalols in medium and/or high concentrations in sandalwood<br />
oils show a significant influence on antimicrobial potential in such natural products.<br />

evaluated in the laboratory against 4th instars of Aedes albopictus, Ae. aegypti, and Culex<br />
pipiens. <strong>Sandalwood</strong> oil appeared to be the most effective of the larvicides, killing larvae of all 3<br />
mosquito species in relatively short times. The values of LT50 and LT90 at the application dosage<br />
(0.2 mg/ml) were 1.06 +/- 0.11 and 3.24 +/- 0.14 h for Ae. aegypti, 1.82 +/- 0.06 and 3.33 +/- 0.48<br />
h for Ae. albopictus, and 1.55 +/- 0.07 and 3.91 +/- 0.44 h for Cx. pipiens, respectively. Chemical<br />
compositions of these essential oils were also studied, and the lavicidal activity of their major<br />
ingredient compounds was compared with that of each of the essential oils. The acute toxicity of<br />
the 4 essential oils to fathead minnows was also evaluated. The safe use of these natural plant<br />
essential oils in future applications of mosquito control was discussed.<br />

fragrances in patients with suspected fragrance allergy and to evaluate the risk factors. 9<br />
dermatology departments of university hospitals have participated in this study for the past 1<br />
year. To determine allergic response to fragrances, 18 additional fragrances in addition to the<br />
Korean standard and a commercial fragrance series were patch-tested in patients with suspecting<br />
cosmetic contact dermatitis. Over 80% of the patients were women, and the most common site<br />
was the face. Cinnamic alcohol and sandalwood oil (Santalum album L.) showed high<br />
frequencies of positive responses. Of the specific fragrances, ebanol, alpha-isomethyl-ionone<br />
(methyl ionone-gamma) and Lyral (hydroxyisohexyl 3-cyclohexane carboxdaldehyde) showed<br />
high positive responses. We compared the results obtained during this study with those of other<br />
studies and concluded that including additional fragrance allergens may be useful for the<br />
detection of fragrance allergy.<br />

Abstract. Bindi (meaning dot in Sanskrit) is a mark worn by most Indian women on their forehead<br />
for religious and social purposes. Traditionally it was worn by only Hindu women to signify their<br />
marital status. Nowadays, it is a huge fashion accessory, being worn in different sizes, shapes,<br />
designs and colours. The variety includes sequined designs, motifs dusted with gold and silver<br />
powder, studded with beads, or even surrounded by glittering gems. Stick-on and liquid ranges<br />
are both equally in demand. We report a case of bindi dermatitis with 'chandan' (sandalwood)<br />
bindi. To our knowledge this is the first report of contact allergic dermatitis to 'chandan'<br />
(sandalwood) bindi.<br />

on proapoptotic caspases and p53 expression in UVB irradiated mouse skin." Anticancer<br />
Res. 28(1A), 129-32. Abstract. BACKGROUND: Cancer chemoprevention by naturally occurring<br />
agents, especially phytochemicals, minerals and vitamins has shown promising results against<br />
various malignancies in a number of studies both under in vitro and in vivo conditions. One such<br />
phytochemical, alpha-santalol, a major component of sandalwood oil, is effective in preventing<br />
skin cancer in both chemically and UVB-induced skin cancer development in CD-1, SENCAR and<br />
SKH-1 mice; however, the mechanism of its efficacy is not fully understood. The objective of the<br />
present investigation was to study the effects of alpha-santalol on apoptosis proteins and p53 in<br />
UVB-induced skin tumor development in SKH-1 mice to elucidate the mechanism of action.<br />
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Female SKH-1 mice were divided into two groups: Group 1, which<br />
served as control received topical application of acetone (0.1 ml) one hour before UVB treatment;<br />
Group 2 received alpha-santalol (0.1 ml, 5% w/v in acetone, topical) one hour prior to UVB<br />
treatment. UVB-induced promotion was continued for 30 weeks. RESULTS: Pre-treatment with<br />
alpha-santalol one hour prior to UVB exposure significantly (p < 0.05) reduced tumor incidence<br />
and multiplicity, and resulted in a significant (p < 0.05) increase in apoptosis proteins, caspase-3<br />
and -8 levels and tumor suppressor protein, p53. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that<br />
alpha-santalol prevents skin cancer development by inducing proapoptotic proteins via an<br />
extrinsic pathway and increasing p53.<br />

hepatic glutathione S-transferase activity and acid soluble sulpydryl level” Cancer Lett 68(2),<br />
105-9. Abstract: The effect of the oil from the wood of Santalum album on glutathione S-<br />
transferase (GST) activity and acid soluble sulphydryl (SH) levels in the liver of adult male Swiss<br />
albino mice was investigated. Oral feeding by gavage to mice each day with 5 and 15 microliters<br />
sandalwood oil for 10 and 20 days exhibited an increase in GST activity in time- and doseresponsive<br />
manners. Feeding a dose of 5 microliters sandalwood oil for 10 and 20 days caused,<br />
respectively, a 1.80-fold (P < 0.001) and 1.93-fold (P < 0.001) increase in GST enzyme activity,<br />
while feeding a dose of 15 microliters of the oil per day for 10 and 20 days induced, respectively,<br />
4.73-fold (P < 0.001) and 6.10-fold (P < 0.001) increases in the enzyme's activity. In addition,<br />
there were 1.59-fold (P < 0.001) and 1.57 (P < 0.001) increases in acid-soluble SH levels in the<br />
hepatic tissue of the mice following feeding of the oil at the dose levels of 5 and 15 microliters for<br />
10 days. Furthermore, mice fed on a diet containing 1% 2(3)-butyl-4-hydroxyanisole (positive<br />
control) also showed an increase in hepatic GST activity and SH levels. Enhancement of GST<br />
activity and acid-soluble SH levels are suggestive of a possible chemopreventive action of<br />
sandalwood oil on carcinogenesis through a blocking mechanism.<br />

were studied. <strong>Sandalwood</strong> oil treatment significantly decreased papilloma incidence by 67%,<br />
multiplicity by 96%, and TPA-induced ODC activity by 70%. This oil could be an effective<br />
chemopreventive agent against skin cancer.<br />

tumor development in CD-1 and SENCAR mice." Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev. 12(2), 151-<br />
6. Abstract. Studies from our laboratory have indicated skin cancer chemopreventive effectsof<br />
sandalwood oil in CD-1 mice. The purpose of this investigation was to study the skin cancer<br />
chemopreventive effects of alpha-santalol, a principal component of sandalwood oil in CD-1 and<br />
SENCAR mice. alpha-Santalol was isolated from sandalwood oil by distillation under vacuum and<br />
characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.<br />
Chemopreventive effects of alpha-santalol were determined during initiation and promotion phase<br />
in female CD-1 and SENCAR mice. Carcinogenesis was initiated with 7,12-<br />
dimethylbenz(a)anthracene and promoted with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA). The<br />
effects of alpha-santalol treatment on TPA-induced epidermal ornithine decarboxylase (ODC)<br />
activity and (3)H-thymidine incorporation in epidermal DNA of CD-1 and SENCAR mice were also<br />
investigated. alpha-Santalol treatment during promotion phase delayed the papilloma<br />
development by 2 weeks in both CD-1 and SENCAR strains of mice. alpha-Santalol treatment<br />
during promotion phase significantly (P < 0.05) decreased the papilloma incidence and multiplicity<br />
when compared with control and treatment during initiation phase during 20 weeks of promotion<br />
in both CD-1 and SENCAR strains of mice. alpha-Santalol treatment resulted in a significant (P <<br />
0.05) inhibition in TPA-induced ODC activity and incorporation of (3)H-thymidine in DNA in the<br />
epidermis of both strains of mice. alpha-Santalol significantly prevents papilloma development<br />
during promotion phase of 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene-TPA carcinogenesis protocol in both<br />
CD-1 and SENCAR mice, possibly by inhibiting TPA-induced ODC activity and DNA synthesis.<br />
alpha-Santalol could be an effective chemopreventive agent for skin cancer. Additional<br />
experimental and clinical studies are needed to investigate the chemopreventive effect of alphasantalol<br />
in skin cancer.<br />

of various concentrations of alpha-santalol on skin cancer development in CD-1 mice." Eur J<br />
30
Cancer Prev. 14(5), 473-6. Abstract. Previous studies from this laboratory have indicated that<br />
alpha-santalol (5%) provides chemopreventive effects in 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene<br />
(DMBA)-initiated and 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-promoted skin cancer in CD-1<br />
and SENCAR mice. Skin cancer development is associated with increased ornithine<br />
decarboxylase (ODC) activity, DNA synthesis and rapid proliferation of epidermal cells. The<br />
purpose of this investigation was to determine the effects of various concentrations (1.25% and<br />
2.5%) of alpha-santalol on DMBA-initiated and TPA-promoted skin cancer development, TPAinduced<br />
ODC activity, and DNA synthesis in CD-1 mice. alpha-Santalol treatment at both<br />
concentrations (1.25% and 2.5%) prevented the skin cancer development. alpha-Santalol<br />
treatment (1.25% and 2.5%) resulted in a significant decrease in the TPA-induced ODC activity<br />
and incorporation of [3H]thymidine in DNA in the epidermis of CD-1 mice. There was no<br />
significant difference in the effects of 1.25% and 2.5% alpha-santalol on tumour incidence,<br />
multiplicity, epidermal TPA-induced ODC activity, or DNA synthesis in CD-1 mice.<br />

on ultraviolet B radiation-induced skin tumor development in SKH-1 hairless mice."<br />
Carcinogenesis. 27(9),1917-22. Abstract. Recent studies from our laboratory have shown the<br />
chemopreventive effects of alpha-santalol against 7,12-dimethylbenzanthracene (DMBA) initiated<br />
and 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) promoted skin tumor development in mice. The<br />
objective of the present investigation was to study the effects of alpha-santalol on ultraviolet B<br />
(UVB) radiation-induced skin tumor development and UVB-caused increase in epidermal<br />
ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity in female hairless SKH-1 mice. For the tumor studies, 180<br />
mice were divided into three groups of 60 mice each, and each group was divided into two<br />
subgroups of 30 mice. The first subgroup served as control and was treated topically on the<br />
dorsal skin with acetone. The second subgroup served as experimental and was treated topically<br />
on the dorsal skin with alpha-santalol (5%, w/v in acetone). The tumorigenesis in the first group<br />
was initiated with UVB radiation and promoted with TPA; in the second group it was initiated with<br />
DMBA and promoted with UVB radiation; and in the third group it was both initiated and promoted<br />
with UVB radiation. In each case, the study was terminated at 30 weeks. Topical application of<br />
alpha-santalol significantly (P
treatment of cells with caspase-8 or -9 inhibitor, pan caspase inhibitor or cycloheximide totally<br />
blocked alpha-santalol-caused caspase-3 activity and cleavage, but only partially reversed<br />
apoptotic cell death. This suggests involvement of both caspase-dependent and -independent<br />
pathways, at least under caspase inhibiting conditions, in alpha-santalol-caused apoptosis.<br />
Together, this study for the first time identifies the apoptotic effect of alpha-santalol, and defines<br />
the mechanism of apoptotic cascade activated by this agent in A431 cells, which might be<br />
contributing to its overall cancer preventive efficacy in mouse skin cancer models.<br />

sesquiterpenoids from Santalum album of Indian origin." Tetrahedron 62 (29), 6981-6989.<br />
Abstract. Three new campherenane-type (1, 4, 7) and three new santalane-type (9, 11, 12)<br />
sesquiterpenoids, and two aromatic glycosides (21, 22) together with 12 known metabolites<br />

(17), and vanillic acid 4-O-neohesperidoside were isolated from Santalum album chips of Indian<br />
origin. The structures of the new compounds, including absolute configurations, were elucidated<br />
by 1D- and 2D-NMR spectroscopic and chemical methods. The antitumor promoting activity of<br />
these isolates along with several neolignans previously isolated from the same source was<br />
evaluated for both in vitro Epstein–Barr virus early antigen (EBV-EA) activation and in vivo twostage<br />
carcinogenesis assays. Among them, compound 1 exhibited a potent inhibitory effect on<br />
EBV-EA activation, and also strongly suppressed two-stage carcinogenesis on mouse skin.<br />

together with four known lignans (2-5), were isolated from the heartwood of Santalum album<br />
(Santalaceae). The structure of 1 was determined by analysis of extensive spectroscopic data.<br />
The isolated compounds and derivatives were evaluated for their cytotoxic activities against HL-<br />
60 human promyelocytic leukemia cells and A549 human lung adenocarcinoma cells.<br />
Compounds 1 and 2 exhibited cytotoxicity against HL-60 cells with IC(50) values of 1.5+/-0.02<br />
and 4.3+/-0.13 microM, and against A549 cells with IC(50) values of 13.6+/-0.32 and 19.9+/-1.27<br />
microM, respectively. The aldehyde group of 1 and 2 was revealed to be a structural requirement<br />
for the appearance of cytotoxicity in this type of lignans. These tumor cell deaths were shown to<br />
be mediated through induction of apoptosis.<br />

valuable ingredient in fine perfumery, has been the focus of scientific interest for many years. Due<br />
to its scarcity and its high price, the search for novel synthetic raw materials imitating the<br />
characteristic odor profile of sandalwood oil is as challenging as ever. In this context, the<br />
preparation of the novel sandalwood odorants 26, 33, and 39 will be discussed, including their<br />
sensory properties and structure-odor relationship.<br />

representing 5-8% of the oil, have been investigated using fractional distillation, preparative<br />
column chromatography, gas liquid chromatography (GLC.), and chemical treatments. This<br />
allowed the isolation and characterization by their spectral data of 46 compounds. 32 of them<br />
were newly identified sandalwood oil constituents including 4 novel substances: santalone (2), 4-<br />
methylcyclohexa-1,3-dien-1-yl methyl ketone (4), 5,6-dimethyl-5-norbornen-exo-2-ol (7), and (E)-<br />
5-(2,3-dimethyl-3-nortricyclyl)-pent-3-en-2-one (20). The other constituents identified were 1-<br />
furfuryl-pyrrole (10) and 10 phenols accompanied by 17 terpene and sesquiterpene derivatives.<br />
Endo-2,endo-3-dimethyl-norbornan-exo-2-ol (6), an -santenol (z), precursor, was present in the<br />
last group of constituents. The compounds 2, 4, 6, 7, 20 have been synthesized as well as<br />
another novel constituent, endo-2-mythyl-3-methylidene-norbornan-exo-2-ol (5).<br />

essential oils by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry” Journal of Chromatography A,<br />
1028(2), 307-312. Abstract: Trade and historic oils from ‘sandalwoods’, labelled as Amyris<br />
balsamifera, Eremophila mitchelli, Fusanus acuminatus (= Santalum acuminatum), Santalum<br />
album, S. austrocaledonicum, S. latifolium, S. spicatum and S. yasi, were assessed using gas<br />
chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS). Using GC–MS, none of the oils assessed<br />
complied with the internationally recognised standard of a 90% santalol content, and only about<br />
half of the trade sandalwood oils met with recent International Organisation for Standardisation<br />
standards. The majority of trade oils, reportedly from S. album, contained approximately 50–70%<br />
santalols (Z-α and Z-β). Thus, the internationally recognised specification (90% santalols) for S.<br />
album requires re-evaluation by more efficient analysis methods. In view of the issues associated<br />
with the quality of sandalwood oils being traded, specifications of ≥43% Z-α-santalol and ≥18% Z-<br />
β-santalol for S. album oil estimated by GC–MS are suggested. GC–MS are recommended as it<br />
assists with authentication and quality control issues associated with sandalwood oils.<br />
<strong>Cropwatch</strong> comments: The authors seem confused. The ‘90% santalols figure’ is largely a relict<br />
of the past from when santalols in sandalwood oil were estimated by wet chemical methods –<br />
either by the acetylation method e.g. by EOA Determination 1B as set out in EOA Spec. No 103,<br />
or by wide-bore GC. This result is inaccurate and non-comparable to the superior information<br />
revealed by modern high performance capillary GC/MS determinations. The latter can break<br />
down the identity of a number of santalol isomers within sandalwood oil, and can help identify<br />
other sesquiterpene alcohols which might have previously have been included with the total<br />
santatols figure by the wet chemical procedure. Thus, by high performance capillary gas<br />
chromatography, a different story unfolds, and some 16 years previously, Verghese et al. (1990a)<br />
established that in <strong>Sandalwood</strong> oil E.I. the normal range is as follows: α-santalol 40-45% and β-<br />
santalol 17-27% [Lawrence (1991) q.v.]. The ISO standard ISO 3518 (2002) for sandalwood oil is<br />
surely taken by most workers as the current standard for the commodity and sets the limits on the<br />
Z-α-santalol content to 41-55% and the Z-β-santalol content to 16-24%. Although smaller<br />
amounts of other santalols are present in <strong>Sandalwood</strong> oil e.g. epi-β-santalol, <strong>Cropwatch</strong> does not<br />
accept that the situation for steam distilled sandalwood oils is quite as Howes et al. present it to<br />
be. <strong>Sandalwood</strong> extracts – via the benzene (etc.) extraction of sandalwood powder to produce<br />
sandalwood concrete, followed by methanolic extraction to produce a so-called ‘oil’ – can<br />
however produce high santalol containing sandalwood commodities in higher yield than steam<br />
distillation, which are sometimes traded as ‘oils’ or mixed in with the normal oil. Co-distillation<br />
technology with high boiling solvents (which are subsequently removed) can also produce high<br />
santalol containing sandalwood ‘oils’. East African sandalwood oil and certain fractions of<br />
Australian sandalwood oil have also frequently been added as adulterants to traded East Indian<br />
sandalwood oils. The analyst should be aware therefore that not everything offered as<br />
sandalwood oil is as necessarily ‘100% derived from the named botanical source’ – but this is<br />
hardly news to any experienced essential oil analyst!<br />

derivatives with sandalwood odor.” J Chem Inf Comput Sci. 43(1), 259-66. Abstract.<br />
Three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) models were developed<br />
for a series of 44 synthetic alpha-campholenic derivatives with sandalwood odor. These<br />
compounds have complex stereochemistry as they contain up to five chiral atoms. To address<br />
stereospecificity of odor intensity, a 3D-QSAR method was developed, which does not require<br />
spatial alignment of molecules. In this method, compounds are represented as derivatives of<br />
several common structural templates with several substituents, which are numbered according to<br />
their relative spatial positions in the molecule. Both wholistic and substituent descriptors<br />
calculated with the TSAR software were used as independent variables. Based on published<br />
experimental data of sandalwood odor intensities, two discrete scales of the odor intensity with<br />
equal or unequal intervals between the threshold values were developed. The data set was<br />
divided into a training set of 38 compounds and a test set of six compounds. To build QSAR<br />
models, a stepwise multiple linear regression method was used. The best model was obtained<br />
using the unequal scale of odor intensity: for the training set, the leave one out cross-validated<br />
R(2) (q(2)) was 0.80, the correlation coefficient R between actual and predicted odor intensities<br />
was 0.93, and the correlation coefficient for the test set was 0.95. The QSAR models developed<br />
in this study contribute to the better understanding of structural, electronic, and lipophilic<br />
properties responsible for sandalwood odor. Furthermore, the QSAR approach reported herein<br />
can be applied to other data sets that include compounds with complex stereochemistry.<br />

isolated polyamine, sym-homospermidine (NH2–[CH2]4–NH–[CH2]4 –NH2), was studied by<br />
using radioactive amino acids. Arginine was the most effective precursor, being about 10 times as<br />
active as ornithine. Unlabelled agmatine and putrescine markedly inhibited the incorporation of<br />
[14C]arginine into homospermidine. Similarly the incorporation of ornithine was inhibited by<br />
unlabelled arginine and putrescine. γ-Aminobutyraldehyde, the oxidation product of putrescine,<br />
was considered to be one of the intermediates in the biosynthesis of homospermidine. The<br />
biosynthesis may involve a Schiff-base formation of putrescine with γ-aminobutyraldehyde and<br />
subsequent reduction. A limited synthesis of spermidine also takes place under these conditions.<br />

replaced by a cyclopropane ring. Despite the analogies in the binding properties between the<br />
double bond and cyclopropane this change in the bulky hydrophobic part of the molecule leads to<br />
the complete loss of the characteristic sandalwood odor: in an olfactory evaluation the (Z)-product<br />
appears spicy and sweet, the (E)-isomer woody, but neither of them exhibits the typical<br />
sandalwood character.<br />

accumulation and activity in mature fruit and germinating stages; the enzyme was localized<br />
strongly in the storage bodies of the endosperm cells. The study also reports for the first time to<br />
our knowledge a post-translational inhibition/inactivation of swCDPK in zygotic embryos during<br />
seed dormancy and early stages of germination. The temporal expression of swCDPK during<br />
somatic/zygotic embryogenesis, seed maturation, and germination suggests involvement of the<br />
enzyme in these developmental processes.<br />

embryogenesis. Role for exogenous calcium as second messenger.” Plant Physiology August<br />
2000 123(4), 1301-1311. Abstract. Calcium-dependent protein kinase (CDPK) is expressed in<br />
sandalwood (Santalum album L.) seeds under developmental regulation, and it is localized with<br />
spherical storage organelles in the endosperm [Anil et al. (2000) Plant Physiol. 122: 1035]. This<br />
study identifies these storage organelles as oil bodies. A 55 kDa protein associated with isolated<br />
oil bodies, showed Ca(2+)-dependent autophosphorylation and also cross-reacted with antisoybean<br />
CDPK. The CDPK activity detected in the oil body-protein fraction was calmodulinindependent<br />
and sensitive to W7 (N-(6-aminohexyl)-5-chloro-1-naphthalene sulfonamide)<br />
inhibition. Differences in Michaelis Menton kinetics, rate of histone phosphorylation and sensitivity<br />
to W7 inhibition between a soluble CDPK from embryos and the oil body-associated CDPK of<br />
endosperm suggest that these are tissue-specific isozymes. The association of CDPK with oil<br />
bodies of endosperm was found to show a temporal pattern during seed development. CDPK<br />
protein and activity, and the in vivo phosphorylation of Ser and Thr residues were detected<br />
strongly in the oil bodies of endosperm from maturing seed. Since oil body formation occurs<br />
during seed maturation, the observations indicate that CDPK and Ca(2+) may have a regulatory<br />
role during oil accumulation/oil body biogenesis. The detection of CDPK-protein and activity in oil<br />
bodies of groundnut, sesame, cotton, sunflower, soybean and safflower suggests the ubiquity of<br />
the association of CDPKs with oil bodies.<br />

kinase from sandalwood (Santalum album L.): evidence for Ca(2+)-induced conformational<br />
39
changes." Phytochemistry 58(2), 203-12. Abstract. An early development-specific soluble 55 kDa<br />
Ca(2+)-dependent protein kinase has been purified to homogeneity from sandalwood somatic<br />
embryos and biochemically characterized. The purified enzyme, swCDPK, resolved into a single<br />
band on 10% polyacrylamide gels, both under denaturing and non-denaturing conditions.<br />
swCDPK activity was strictly dependent on Ca(2+), K(0.5) (apparent binding constant) for Ca(2+)-<br />
activation of substrate phosphorylation activity being 0.7 microM and for autophosphorylation<br />
activity approximately 50 nM. Ca(2+)-dependence for activation, CaM-independence, inhibition by<br />
CaM-antagonist (IC(50) for W7=6 microM, for W5=46 microM) and cross-reaction with polyclonal<br />
antibodies directed against the CaM-like domain of soybean CDPK, confirmed the presence of an<br />
endogenous CaM-like domain in the purified enzyme. Kinetic studies revealed a K(m) value of 1.3<br />
mg/ml for histone III-S and a V(max) value of 0.1 nmol min(-1) mg(-1). The enzyme exhibited high<br />
specificity for ATP with a K(m) value of 10 nM. Titration with calcium resulted in the enhancement<br />
of intrinsic emission fluorescence of swCDPK and a shift in the lambda(max) emission from<br />
tryptophan residues. A reduction in the efficiency of non-radiative energy transfer from tyrosine to<br />
tryptophan residues was also observed. These are taken as evidence for the occurrence of<br />
Ca(2+)-induced conformational change in swCDPK. The emission spectral properties of swCDPK<br />
in conjunction with Ca(2+) levels required for autophosphorylation and substrate phosphorylation<br />
help understand mode of Ca(2+) activation of this enzyme.<br />

system can discriminate between volatile molecules with subtle differences in their molecular<br />
structures. Efforts in synthetic chemistry have delivered a myriad of smelling compounds of<br />
different qualities as well as many molecules with very similar olfactive properties. One important<br />
class of molecules in the fragrance industry are sandalwood odorants. <strong>Sandalwood</strong> oil and four<br />
synthetic sandalwood molecules were selected to study the activation profile of endogenous<br />
olfactory receptors when exposed to compounds from the same odorant family. Dissociated rat<br />
olfactory receptor neurons were exposed to the sandalwood molecules and the receptor<br />
activation studied by monitoring fluxes in the internal calcium concentration. Olfactory receptor<br />
neurons were identified that were specifically stimulated by sandalwood compounds. These<br />
neurons expressed olfactory receptors that can discriminate between sandalwood odorants with<br />
slight differences in their molecular structures. This is the first study in which an important class of<br />
perfume compounds was analyzed for its ability to activate endogenous olfactory receptors in<br />
olfactory receptor neurons.<br />

Food Chem Toxicol. 46(2), 421-32. Abstract. <strong>Sandalwood</strong> (Santalum album L.) is a fragrant wood<br />
from which oil is derived for use in food and cosmetics. <strong>Sandalwood</strong> oil is used in the food<br />
industry as a flavor ingredient with a daily consumption of 0.0074 mg/kg. Over 100 constituents<br />
have been identified in sandalwood oil with the major constituent being alpha-santalol.<br />
<strong>Sandalwood</strong> oil and its major constituent have low acute oral and dermal toxicity in laboratory<br />
animals. <strong>Sandalwood</strong> oil was not mutagenic in spore Rec assay and was found to have<br />
anticarcinogenic, antiviral and bactericidal activity. Occasional cases of irritation or sensitization<br />
reactions to sandalwood oil in humans are reported in the literature. Although the available<br />
information on toxicity of sandalwood oil is limited, it has a long history of oral use without any<br />
reported adverse effects and is considered safe at present use levels.<br />

naturally occurring (-)-(Z)-β-- or (+)-(Z)-α-santalol ((-)- 1 or (+)-2, resp.) and the reversed (E)-<br />
configured synthetic derivatives from campholenal (7a), a simple model A was developed.<br />
Besides reconciliation of this stereochemical aspect, this initial model also tentatively explained<br />
the enantiodiscriminations as well as the large spectra of distances separating the OH function<br />
from the lipophilic quaternary center(s) reported for different classes of substrates. Evolution,<br />
modifications, and refinement of this imperfect model allied with the research for alternative<br />
possibilities are illustrated, along with a historical guideline, in the light of olfactively challenging<br />
synthetic seco-substructures as well as literature reports. Despite evolution of the inadequate<br />
model A and a plausible interpretation of the lipophilic part, the topological positions of the OH<br />
function and its vicinal alkyl substituent could nevertheless not be fully ascertained by this<br />
approach. This apparently inconclusive empirical concept prompted us to turn our attention<br />
towards a computerized methodology, which will constitute the second and third part of this study.<br />

sixteen current fragrances allegedly employing Mysore sandalwood, four are supplied by IFF, two<br />
by Givaudin (Quest), one by Firmenich and one by Symrise. The present situation of shortage<br />
seems a far cry from the original launching of three fragrances containing authentic sandalwood<br />

and poaching. Regeneration by silvicultural methods being insufficient to meet the demand,<br />
several biotechnological routes of propagation has been tried. Somatic embryogenesis offers<br />
highest clonal propagation efficiency. Scale up in air-lift bioreactor improves embryo quality,<br />
saves laboratory space and minimizes incubation time as well as production cost.<br />

prevention and treatment of warts, skin blemishes and other viral-induced tumors.” Abstract The<br />
present invention provides a method for the prevention and treatment of viral-induced tumors,<br />
more specifically, human warts. The method uses sandalwood oil and/or derivatives from the<br />
sandalwood oil to prepare medicaments for the prevention and treatment of viral-induced tumors<br />
(i.e., warts caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV)) in humans. The method of the invention<br />
comprises the topical administration of the sandalwood oil or a composition derived therefrom to<br />
the human epidermis and/or to the genital tract as needed. The present invention is also<br />
concerned with a unique antiviral composition useful for topical application. The antiviral<br />
composition according to this invention is also effective against other DNA viruses such as the<br />
DNA pox virus that causes Molluscum contagiosum and may be effective against other DNA<br />
viruses such as AIDS virus and RNA viruses. The sandalwood oil compositions are also effective<br />
against genital warts and HPV of the genital tract and will prevent cancer of the skin and cervix.<br />
<strong>Sandalwood</strong> oil or a constituent of sandalwood oil, is also effective in preventing dryness of the<br />
skin, rashes and flakiness associated with seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis and allergic or<br />
eczematous rashes of the skin. This oil or constituent is also effective in the treatment of acne<br />
lesions of the face and the body and in the eradication of pustular acne lesions caused by<br />
Staphylococcal acne and Streptococcal bacterial infections.<br />

humans. The method of the invention comprises the topical administration of α- and β-santalols,<br />
or mixtures or derivatives thereof, in a composition derived therefrom, to the human epidermis, as<br />
needed. The present invention is also concerned with a unique antiviral composition useful for<br />
topical application. The antiviral composition according to this invention is also effective against<br />
other DNA viruses such as the DNA pox virus that causes Molluscum contagiosum and may be<br />
effective against other DNA viruses such as AIDS virus and RNA viruses. The α- and β-santalols<br />
composition, or mixtures or derivatives thereof, may also be effective in the treatment of genital<br />
warts and HPV of the genital tract and in the treatment of cancer of the skin and cervix. The α-<br />
and β-santalols, or mixtures or derivatives thereof, may also be effective in the prevention of<br />
dryness of the skin, rashes and flakiness associated with seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis and<br />
allergic or eczematous rashes of the skin. The α- and β-santalols, or mixtures or derivatives<br />
thereof, may also be effective in the treatment of acne lesions of the face and the body and in the<br />
eradication of pustular acne lesions caused by staphylococcal acne and streptococcal bacterial<br />

treatment of both somatic and mental disorders. In this investigation, the effects of inhalation of<br />
East Indian <strong>Sandalwood</strong> essential oil and its main compound, alpha-santalol, on human<br />
physiological parameters (blood oxygen saturation, respiration rate, eye-blink rate, pulse rate,<br />
skin conductance, skin temperature, surface electromyogram, and blood pressure) and selfratings<br />
of arousal (alertness, attentiveness, calmness, mood, relaxation and vigor) were studied<br />
in healthy volunteers. Compared to either an odorless placebo or alpha-santalol, <strong>Sandalwood</strong> oil<br />
elevated pulse rate, skin conductance level, and systolic blood pressure. alpha-Santalol,<br />
however, elicited higher ratings of attentiveness and mood than did <strong>Sandalwood</strong> oil or the<br />
placebo. Correlation analyses revealed that these effects are mainly due to perceived odor<br />
quality. The results suggest a relation between differences in perceived odor quality and<br />
differences in arousal level.<br />

oil (Santalum album, Santalaceae) and alpha-santalol on physiological parameters as well as on<br />
mental and emotional conditions in healthy human subjects after transdermal absorption. In order<br />
to exclude any olfactory stimulation, the inhalation of the fragrances was prevented by breathing<br />
masks. Eight physiological parameters, i. e., blood oxygen saturation, blood pressure, breathing<br />
rate, eye-blink rate, pulse rate, skin conductance, skin temperature, and surface electromyogram<br />
were recorded. Subjective mental and emotional condition was assessed by means of rating<br />
scales. While alpha-santalol caused significant physiological changes which are interpreted in<br />
terms of a relaxing/sedative effect, sandalwood oil provoked physiological deactivation but<br />
behavioral activation. These findings are likely to represent an uncoupling of physiological and<br />
behavioral arousal processes by sandalwood oil.<br />

sesquiterpenes; a tool for elucidating their biosynthesis in Indian sandalwood, Santalum album."<br />
Phytochemistry. 67(22), 2463-8. Abstract. A chemotaxonomic approach was used to investigate<br />
biosynthetic relationships between heartwood sesquiterpenes in Indian sandalwood, Santalum<br />
album L. Strong, linear relationships exist between four structural classes of sesquiterpenes;<br />
alpha- and beta-santalenes and bergamotene; gamma- and beta-curcumene; beta-bisabolene<br />
and alpha-bisabolol and four unidentified sesquiterpenes. All samples within the heartwood<br />
yielded the same co-occurrence patterns, however wood from young trees tended to be more<br />
variable. It is proposed that the biosynthesis of each structural class of sesquiterpene in<br />
sandalwood oil is linked through common carbocation intermediates. Lack of co-occurrence<br />
between each structural class suggests that four separate cyclase enzymes may be operative.<br />
The biosynthesis of sandalwood oil sesquiterpenes is discussed with respect to these cooccurrence<br />
patterns. Extractable oil yield was correlated to heartwood content of each wood core<br />
and the oil composition did not vary significantly throughout the tree.<br />

"Isolation of cDNAs and functional characterisation of two multi-product terpene synthase<br />
enzymes from sandalwood, Santalum album L." Arch Biochem Biophys. 2008 May 27. Abstract.<br />
<strong>Sandalwood</strong>, Santalum album (Santalaceae) is a small hemi-parasitic tropical tree of great<br />
economic value. <strong>Sandalwood</strong> timber contains resins and essential oils, particularly the santalols,<br />
santalenes and dozens of other minor sesquiterpenoids. These sesquiterpenoids provide the<br />
unique sandalwood fragrance. The research described in this paper set out to identify genes<br />
involved in essential oil biosynthesis, particularly terpene synthases (TPS) in S. album, with the<br />
long-term aim of better understanding heartwood oil production. Degenerate TPS primers<br />
48
amplified two genomic TPS fragments from S. album, one of which enabled the isolation of two<br />
TPS cDNAs, SamonoTPS1 (1731bp) and SasesquiTPS1 (1680bp). Both translated protein<br />
sequences shared highest similarity with known TPS from grapevine (Vitis vinifera). Heterologous<br />
expression in Escherichia coli produced catalytically active proteins. SamonoTPS1 was identified<br />
as a monoterpene synthase which produced a mixture of (+)-alpha-terpineol and (-)-limonene,<br />
along with small quantities of linalool, myrcene, (-)-alpha-pinene, (+)-sabinene and geraniol when<br />
assayed with geranyl diphosphate. Sesquiterpene synthase SasesquiTPS1 produced the<br />
monocyclic sesquiterpene alcohol germacrene D-4-ol and helminthogermacrene, when incubated<br />
with farnesyl diphosphate. Also present were alpha-bulnesene, gamma-muurolene, alpha- and<br />
beta-selinenes, as well as several other minor bicyclic compounds. Although these<br />
sesquiterpenes are present in only minute quantities in the distilled sandalwood oil, the genes<br />
and their encoded enzymes described here represent the first TPS isolated and characterised<br />
from a member of the Santalaceae plant family and they may enable the future discovery of<br />
additional TPS genes in sandalwood.<br />
Jones C.G (2008) The best of Santalum album: Essential oil composition, biosynthesis and<br />
genetic diversity in the Australian tropical sandalwood collection. PhD thesis for Univ W Australia<br />
June 2008. Abstract. An investigation into the heartwood and essential oil content of Australian<br />
plantation sandalwood, Santalum album was undertaken. Genetic diversity of 233 S. album five<br />
S. austrocaledonicum and fifteen S. macgregorii trees growing in the Forest Products Arboretum,<br />
Kununurra WA, was assessed using nuclear and chloroplast RFLPs. Nuclear genetic diversity of<br />
the S. album collection was very low with expected and observed heterozygosity levels of 0.047.<br />
This was lower than the results previously reported in the bliterature for trees in India, however a<br />
different technique was used. Based on allelic patterns, the collection was able to be catagorised<br />
into 19 genotypes: each representing some shared genetic origin. Some groups were highly<br />
redundant, with 56 trees being represented, whilst others were populated by just one tree. The<br />
essential oil yield and heartwood contents of trees from these genetic groups were compared.<br />
Yields were highly variable both within and between groups of trees which share a common<br />
genetic history, suggesting a significant environmental component was contributing to the<br />
observed phenotype despite identical soil and climatic oconditions.<br />
Ancestral lineages were tested using chloroplast RFLP’s, although a lack of shared mutations<br />
between species made this difficult. Only one S. album tree from S. Timor was resolved using<br />
nuclear RFLPs, with the other trees being grouped with material sourced from India. There was<br />
no resolution of Indian S. album from Timorese using chloroplast RFLPs, however one S. album<br />
tree grown from Indian seed possessed a single unique mutation. The low genetic diversity of the<br />
Ausatralian S. album collection is likely to be a combination of incomplete seed sourcing and<br />
highly restricted gene flow during the evolution of the species. Combined with information<br />
gathered on the phylogeny of the genus by other researchers, S album is postulated to have<br />
arisen from an over-sea dispersal out of northern Australia or Papua New Guinea 3 to 5 million<br />
years ago.<br />
Essential oil yield & composition was assessed for 100 S. album trees growing in the collection,<br />
ranging in years from 8 to 17 years. Oil content of the heartwood ranged from 30mg.g -1 to<br />
60mg.g -1 and the transition zone 36mg.g -1 to 90mg.g -1 . Sapwood contained almost no<br />
sesquiterpene oils. Despite the highly variable total yields, the chemical profile of the oil did not<br />
vary, suggesting there was limited genetic diversity within this region of the genome. Strong<br />
positive correlations existed between sesquiterpenoids in the essential oil of S. album. This was<br />
particularly evident in the santalenes and α-bergamotene, although trends were also seen in the<br />
curcumenes, bisabolene and bisabolol, and an unidentified group of sesquiterpenes. Cooccurrence<br />
patternes indicate shared chemical intermediates from which compounds are<br />
partitioned, resulting in multiple product formation. To further test the multiple product hypothesis<br />
two terpene synthase (TPS) genes werte isolated from S. album leaf and wood cDNA. These<br />
were cloned and the enzymes were heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli. One enzyme<br />
sasesquiTPS1 converted the universal sesquiterpene precursor farnesyl diphosphate into<br />
germacrene D-4-ol, helminthogermacrene, α-bulnescene, γ-muurolene and α- andβ-selinene.<br />
The other enzyme samonoTPS1 converted geranyl diphosphate into (+)-α-terpineol, and (-)-<br />
limonene, with small amounts of sabinene, linalool, α-terpinolene, myrcene and geraniol. These<br />
49
epresent the first TPS genes to be isolated from sandalwood and will enable further elucidation<br />
of the oil biosynthesis genes.<br />
This thesis `completes a three-pronged approach to understanding the underlying causes of oil<br />
yield variance in S. album. As a species for which so little is known, the research presented here<br />
provides a major leap forward for tree improvement, breeding and silviculture. Hence the best of<br />
sandalwood research is presented.<br />

Hawai’i.” Paper presented at the Symposium on <strong>Sandalwood</strong> in the Pacific, 1990. Abstract.<br />
Adaptive radiation of Santalum in the Hawaiian archipelago has provided these remote islands<br />
with a number of endemic species and varieties. The prehistoric Polynesian inhabitants of Hawai‘i<br />
utilized the sandalwood trees for many of the same traditional purposes as their South Pacific<br />
ancestors who had developed ethnobotanical relationships with Santalum. The ancient Hawaiians<br />
probably reduced the number and geographical distribution of sandal-wood trees<br />
significantly through their extensive cutting and burning, especially in the dry forest regions.<br />
Nevertheless, vast numbers of the fragrant trees still existed in Hawai‘i at the time of Western<br />
contact in 1778. Within a century after this contact, the extensive trade in sandalwood produced a<br />
massive decline in the Hawaiian species of Santalum. Although cultivation attempts during this<br />
cen-tury with both introduced and native sandalwood species have had limited success in<br />
Hawai‘i, there is renewed interest in developing a sustainable forest industry based on the<br />
production of sandalwood for export trade. Biologists in general, however, have cautioned against<br />
50
large-scale harvesting of the remain-ing Santalum trees, suggesting that more research be<br />
undertaken first to deter-mine the distribution and vigor of the remaining species.<br />

santalol on the sleep-wake cycle in sleep-disturbed rats]" Nihon Shinkei Seishin Yakurigaku<br />
Zasshi. 27(4),167-71. Abstract. <strong>Sandalwood</strong> oil is widely used in aromatherapy for alleviating<br />
various symptoms. Santalol, a major component of sandalwood oil, has been reported to have<br />
central nervous system depressant effects such as sedation. In the present study, we<br />
investigated the effect of santalol on the sleep-wake cycle in sleep-disturbed rats. When inhaled<br />
at a concentration of 5 X 10(-2) ppm, santalol caused a significant decrease in total waking time<br />
and an increase in total non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep time. In order to clarify the<br />
mechanism of action, olfactory hypofunction was caused in rats by intranasal application of 5%<br />
zinc sulfate solution, and thereafter the effects of inhalation of fragrances were evaluated. In this<br />
study, it was found that the impairment of the olfactory system showed no significant effect on the<br />
changes in sleep parameters induced by santalol. This result suggests that santalol may act via<br />
the circulatory system rather than the olfactory system. That is, santalol is thought to be absorbed<br />
into the blood through the respiratory mucosa, and then exert its action. From these results, it is<br />
concluded that santalol may be useful in patients having difficulty maintaining sleep without being<br />
affected by individual differences in perfume-related preference.<br />

2005 Newsletter 2(2), 4. Aug 2005. <strong>Cropwatch</strong> comments: Further proof, if it were needed, that<br />
some Aromatherapy (AT) organisation officials have been 'in denial' about the role of<br />
aromatherapy as a consumer market affecting the serious demise of sandalwood species - here<br />
Preen attempted to shift the blame to the perfumery trade. Further, Preen argued that Santalum<br />
album is not actually endangered (the IUCN Red List<br />
http://www.iucnredlist.org/search/details.php/31852/all classifies it as vulnerable), wrings her<br />
hands a little about sandalwood smuggling, and pledges faith in the much-criticised sandalwood<br />
replanting schemes to eventually solve the problem 30-40 years hence. <strong>Cropwatch</strong> currently<br />
observes that little, if any, <strong>Sandalwood</strong> oil East Indian is currently available on the spot market,<br />
and what there is, is practically always adulterated - it is of note that the AT professional<br />
organisations have no formal analytical standards for sandalwood oil used in aromatherapy to<br />
determine whether or not this is the case. Further, the carbon footprint of sandalwood oil is<br />
particularly unacceptable wrt climate change concerns, with excessive energy consumption<br />
occurring as a result of long distillation times. Therefore by continuing to defend the use of E.I.<br />
sandalwood oil in AT, one can only conclude that any ecological interests have been<br />
inappropriately sold out to the commercial interests of AT essential oil traders, who anyway have<br />
an unhealthy & unseen influence on the policy of many AT professional organisations. Further,<br />
aromatherapists are likely to be indirectly supporting gangland by consuming sandalwood oil,<br />
most of which is either smuggled with or without the help of corrupt officials or otherwise illegally<br />
produced. This was a completely wrong-headed & misleadfing article (in <strong>Cropwatch</strong>'s humble<br />
opinion, of course)..<br />

Santalum album L. under large-scale plantation conditions, until recently, has been largely<br />
unsuccessful. In this experiment, the growth of S. album seedlings grown with the herbaceous pot<br />
host Alternanthera nana R. Br. for 134, 109, 84, 60 and 35 days in a nursery container prior to<br />
field establishment was examined after 11, 16 and 23 weeks in the field. S. album survival and<br />
growth was greater, and root:shoot ratio was lower for the 23 weeks for S. album seedlings grown<br />
with A. nana compared with seedlings grown without a host. Seedlings grown with A. nana for<br />
134 days in the nursery prior to field establishment had greater stem diameter, height and root,<br />
shoot and total plant dry weight (DW) over the 23 weeks in the field than all other treatments.<br />
Seedlings grown with A. nana for 109 days in the nursery prior to field establishment had greater<br />
field survival than all other treatments. A. nana survival in the field remained high when grown<br />
with S. album for 134 and 109 days in the nursery prior to field establishment whereas survival<br />
within remaining treatments declined significantly and A. nana growth was significantly less. S.<br />
album grown with A. nana for 134 days in the nursery prior to field establishment had a lower<br />
root:shoot ratio than all other treatments at all assessments. A strong negative linear relationship<br />
exists between S. album root:shoot ratio and A. nana DW, whereas a positive linear relationship<br />
exists between S. album DW and A. nana DW. Foliar phosphorus and sodium concentrations for<br />
S. album were lower and foliar potassium concentration higher when seedlings were grown with<br />
A. nana for 134 days in the nursery prior to field establishment compared with the remaining<br />
treatments at the 16-week assessment. The period of the S. album:-A. nana association in the<br />
nursery significantly influenced S. album survival and growth following field planting.<br />

Santalum album L. biomass partitioning.” Forest Ecology and Management 113(2-3),<br />
143-153. Abstract. Santalum album L. seedlings parasitised on the N2-fixing woody hosts<br />
Sesbania formosa (F. Muell.) N. Burb., Acacia trachycarpa E. Pritzel and A. ampliceps Maslin and<br />
the non-N2-fixing woody host Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehnh. were grown for 38 weeks in 25 l<br />
nursery containers. S. album growth was greater and root : shoot ratio lower for S. album<br />
seedlings grown with N2-fixing hosts compared with seedlings grown with E. camaldulensis or<br />
with no host. Seedlings grown with S. formosa had a greater stem diameter, height, leaf area,<br />
root and shoot dry weight (DW) than all other treatments. S. album grown with S. formosa and A.<br />
ampliceps had a lower root : shoot ratio than all other treatments at all assessments. The root :<br />
shoot ratio of unattached S. album increased exponentially over the 38 week period. Seedling<br />
growth declined for all treatments between the 33 and 38 week harvests, except for those<br />
seedlings attached to A. trachycarpa. A strong positive linear relationship was shown between S.<br />
album leaf area and shoot DW irrespective of host species. No relationship was found between S.<br />
album shoot DW and root : shoot ratio with host shoot DW. The combined E. camaldulensis and<br />
S. album root system supported a smaller S. album shoot biomass compared with the S. album<br />
shoot biomass supported by the combined root systems of the N2-fixing hosts and S. album.<br />
Compared with all other host species the A. trachycarpa root system was more efficient in<br />
supporting its own shoot biomass and the total biomass of S. album. Host use efficiency (S.<br />
album shoot DW/host shoot DW) values of S. formosa and A. trachycarpa were greater than the<br />
host use efficiency values of A. ampliceps and E. camaldulensis. Values for unparasitised S.<br />
formosa leaf area, shoot and root DW and root : shoot ratio were greater than those for<br />
parasitised plants.<br />

122. USDA Forest Service, Berkeley, 66–71. Abstract: <strong>Sandalwood</strong> (Santalum album) has been<br />
part of Indian culture and heritage for thousands of years, and was one of the first items traded<br />
with other countries. The heartwood yields fragrant oil, which is used mainly in the perfume<br />
industry but also has medicinal properties. The wood is used for carving and manufacturing<br />
incense. Generally S. album is found in the dry deciduous forests of Deccan Plateau, mostly in<br />
the states of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, The evergreen tree regenerates naturally when<br />
conditions are favorable and has been spreading in its distribution. Lack of understanding of the<br />
dynamics of hemiparasitism by sandalwood has caused failure of pure plantations in the past;<br />
haustorial connections with its hosts supply sandalwood with nitrogen, phos-phorus, and<br />
potassium. Plantable seedlings can now be raised in the nursery in 6-8 months with the<br />
protection of a nematicide and fungicide. Several tech-niques for planting seeds directly in the<br />
field have also been developed. A tree that is growing well can put on an annual increment of 1<br />
kg per year. The sandalwood resource in India is currently threatened by four factors: fire,<br />
browsing by livestock, spike (little leaf) disease, and smuggling.<br />

Protoplasts were isolated from embryogenic cell suspension cultures derived from proliferating<br />
shoot segments of a 20-year-old sandalwood tree (Santalum album Linn.). Under appropriate<br />
conditions, isolated protoplasts divided in liquid culture medium and produced embryogenic cell<br />
aggregates and globular embryos. Plating of cell aggregates on a fresh medium facilitated the<br />
differentiation of somatic emryos which further developed into plantlets.<br />

album is known as East Indian sandalwood. It is the most economically important tree harvested<br />
for heartwood oil, and India is among the chief exporters of sandalwood and its products. Multiple<br />
shoots were induced from nodal shoot segments derived from a 50- to 60-year-old candidate plus<br />
tree (CPT) on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 0.53 µM α-<br />
naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) and 11.09 µM 6-benzylaminopurine (BA). In vitro differentiated<br />
shoots were multiplied on MS medium with 0.53 µM NAA, 4.44 µM BA, and additives:<br />
283.93 µM ascorbic acid, 118.10 µM citric acid, 104.04 µM cystine, 342.24 µM glutamine, and<br />
10% (v/v) coconut milk. New shoots were harvested repeatedly for up to three subculture<br />
passages on fresh medium at 4-week intervals. Microshoots treated with 98.4 µM indole-3-<br />
butyric acid (IBA) for 48 h produced roots on growth-regulator-free, quarter-strength MS basal<br />
salts medium with vitamin B5 and 2% sucrose. In vitro root induction was achieved from<br />
microshoots pulsed with 1230 µM IBA for 30 min in soilrite rooting medium. The percentage of<br />
rooting in soilrite was higher than that for agar medium, and in vitro raised plants were<br />
established in the field and showed normal growth.<br />

Abstract. A number of essential oils are currently in use as aromatherapy agents to relieve<br />
anxiety, stress, and depression. Popular anxiolytic oils include lavender (Lavandula angustifolia),<br />
rose (Rosa damascena), orange (Citrus sinensis), bergamot (Citrus aurantium), lemon (Citrus<br />
limon), sandalwood (Santalum album), clary sage (Salvia sclarea), Roman chamomile (Anthemis<br />
nobilis), and rose-scented geranium (Pelargonium spp.). This review discusses the chemical<br />
constituents and CNS effects of these aromatherapeutic essential oils, as well as recent studies<br />
on additional essential oils with anxiolytic activities.<br />

Indian <strong>Sandalwood</strong>, as a perfume daily for a week. Their self-perceived effects were analyzed for<br />
common experiences, using the grounded theory method. Four categories of the experience were<br />
developed into an initial theory of the effects of sandalwood. It was found that sandalwood did<br />
have self-perceived effects, which varied with initial psychological state and emporal factors. The<br />
observed self-perceived effects of calming, ability to manage and well being have limited corelation<br />
with claimed therapeutic effects. A further self-perceived effect, uplifting, was observed<br />
such that further investigation is required. This study is a demonstration of the initial steps of a<br />
holistic research model that would allow for aromatherapy, essential oils, their therapeutic effects<br />
and the experience of their use to be researched. Thus a sound scientific knowledge base for the<br />
profession of aromatherapy, relevant to its practice can be developed.<strong>Cropwatch</strong> comments:<br />

of sandalwood (Santalum spicatum). Journal of Experimental Biology 37(182), 1274-1284.<br />
Abstract. Acacia acuminata is a preferred host of the root hemiparasitic tree, Santalum spicatum<br />
(sandalwood). Comparison between nutrient content of adult trees of sandalwood and results for<br />
an earlier study of the mistletoe, Amyema preissii, on the same host species, A. acuminata,<br />
showed similar high levels of K and Na and low levels of Zn in both parasites compared with the<br />
58
host plants. Differences in K, Ca, N and Cu levels between parasitized and uninfected Acacias<br />
imply that the host plant contributes to the nutrition of sandalwood. The high K/Ca ratio in<br />
sandalwood confirms that K uptake in preference to Ca is a general feature of all categories of<br />
angiosperm parasites.<br />
Patterns of distribution of nutrients between various parts of sandalwood and A. acuminata<br />
depend on the type of nutrient, but levels are usually highest in leaves of both species and the<br />
haustoria. Although K, Ca and Na are much lower in the kernels than in vegetative parts of the<br />
parasite, only seedlings without supplementary Ca in a nutrient omission experiment failed to<br />
grow at all in the absence of hosts. Growth is not dependent on the level of K in the unattached<br />
plants but other evidence indicates it may have a role in water uptake in the attached plant.<br />
Calcium supply has a marked effect on internal Ca levels and growth of unattached plants.<br />
Compared with field plants, levels of Ca, and to a lesser extent Zn, were much higher in plants of<br />
the Ca/K treatment that produced greatest growth over 34 weeks.<br />
Haustorial formation is enhanced by the presence of A. acuminata roots. However, competition<br />
for nutrients, especially Ca, from co-planted A. acuminata seedlings results in suppression of<br />
growth of young sandalwood compared with their growth in the absence of the host species.<br />

Biology, Protocols for In Vitro Cultures and Secondary Metabolite Analysis of Aromatic and<br />
Medicinal Plants, vol. 547 pub Humana Press (Springer Science + Business Media). Abstract. A<br />
bench-top bioreactor allowing continuous extraction of secondary metabolites is designed for<br />
Catharanthus roseus L. (G.) Don (periwinkle) and Santalum album L. (sandalwood) plant cell<br />
suspensions. Periwinkle cell cultures are exposed to biotic elicitors (Aspergillus niger, crude<br />
chitin) and abiotic elicitors (mannitol, methyl jasmonate) to induce alkaloid production. Whereas<br />
most of the biotic elicitors are effective when added on day 15 of culture, the abiotic elicitors are<br />
effective when added on day 20. The use of trans-cinnamic acid, an inhibitor of phenylalanine<br />
ammonia lyase (PAL) activity, results in significant increase in the alkaloid production of<br />
periwinkle cell cultures. Exposure of the cells to mannitol-induced osmotic stress produced<br />
marked increment in the total alkaloid production. When biotic and abiotic stress treatments are<br />
applied sequentially, an additive effect in alkaloid accumulation is observed. Although no<br />
essential oils are detected, secondary metabolites in the form of phenolics are produced by the<br />
sandalwood cell cultures in the bioreactor environment. The use of morphologic modification such<br />
as organ cultures and transformed cultures is believed to be required for both production and<br />
storage of essential oil constituents in sandalwood. The present chapter demonstrates that<br />
periwinkle and sandalwood cell suspensions could be developed and successfully cultured in a<br />
modified air-lift bioreactor. The exploitation of variant cell strains and biotransformation of added<br />
precursors can certainly improve the use of periwinkle and sandalwood cell cultures for the<br />
bioproduction of desired compounds.<br />

Hawaii." Proceedings of the Symposium on <strong>Sandalwood</strong> in the Pacific April 9-11, 1990, Honolulu,<br />
Hawaii. Abstract: Adaptive radiation of Santalum in the Hawaiian archipelago has provided these<br />
remote islands with a number of endemic species and varieties. The prehistoric Polynesian<br />
inhabitants of Hawai‘i utilized the sandalwood trees for many of the same traditional purposes as<br />
their South Pacific ancestors who had developed ethnobotanical relationships with Santalum. The<br />
ancient Ha-waiians probably reduced the number and geographical distribution of sandal-wood<br />
trees significantly through their extensive cutting and burning, especially in the dry forest regions.<br />
Nevertheless, vast numbers of the fragrant trees still existed in Hawai‘i at the time of Western<br />
contact in 1778. Within a century after this contact, the extensive trade in sandalwood produced a<br />
massive decline in the Hawaiian species of Santalum. Although cultivation attempts during this<br />
cen-tury with both introduced and native sandalwood species have had limited success in<br />
Hawai‘i, there is renewed interest in developing a sustainable forest industry based on the<br />
production of sandalwood for export trade. Biologists in general, however, have cautioned against<br />
large-scale harvesting of the remain-ing Santalum trees, suggesting that more research be<br />
undertaken first to determine the distribution & vigor of the remaining species.<br />

archipelago.” Molecular Ecology 14(7), 1979-89. Abstract: We present a study of the genetic<br />
diversity and structure of a tropical tree in an insular system. Santalum austrocaledonicum is<br />
endemic to the archipelago of New Caledonia and is exploited for oil extraction from heartwood. A<br />
total of 431 individuals over 17 populations were analysed for eight polymorphic microsatellite<br />
loci. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 3 to 33 and the observed heterozygosity per<br />
population ranged from 0.01 in Mare to 0.74 in Ile des Pins. The genetic diversity was lowest in<br />
the most recent islands, the Loyautes, and highest in the oldest island, Grande Terre, as well as<br />
the nearby small Ile des Pins. Significant departures from panmixia were observed for some locipopulation<br />
combinations (per population FIS = 0-0.03 on Grande-Terre and Ile des Pins, and 0-<br />
0.67 on Loyautes). A strong genetic differentiation among all islands was observed (FST = 0.22),<br />
and the amount of differentiation increased with geographic distance in Iles Loyaute and in<br />
Grande Terre. At both population and island levels, island age and isolation seem to be the main<br />
factors influencing the amount of genetic diversity. In particular, populations from recent islands<br />
had large average FIS that could not be entirely explained by null alleles or a Wahlund effect.<br />
This result suggests that, at least in some populations, selfing occurred extensively. Conclusively,<br />
our results indicate a strong influence of insularity on the genetic diversity and structure of<br />
Santalum austrocaledonicum.<br />

Abstract. Les îles océaniques constituent de véritables «<br />

effets de dérive génétique et l'impact de la sélection naturelle apparaissent d'autant plus<br />
exacerbés que les îles sont isolées et soumises à de forts gradients environnementaux. Notre<br />
étude associe des marqueurs moléculaires neutres et des caractères liés à l'adaptation afin<br />
d'évaluer l'influence de ces différentes forces dans le contexte insulaire de Nouvelle-Calédonie<br />
sur l'espèce forestière Santalum austrocaledonicum. L'étude des microsatellites nucléaires et<br />
chloroplastiques montre une différenciation nette des populations des petites îles Loyauté et un<br />

Bottin L., Isnard C., Lagrange A. & Bouvet J.M. (2007) "Comparative molecular and<br />
phytochemical study of the tree species Santalum austrocaledonicum (Santalaceae) distributed in<br />
the New-Caledonian archipelago." Chem Biodivers. 4(7):1541-56. Abstract. We have tried to<br />
elucidate the origin of phytochemical variation in trees by studying concomitantly the chemical<br />
and microsatellite variations in Santalum austrocaledonicum. Eight natural populations were<br />
sampled in the New-Caledonian archipelago, a total of 157 individuals being analyzed. The main<br />
components, as revealed by gas chromatography (GC), were alpha- and beta-santalol (as in<br />
other sandalwood species), although the level of (Z)-lanceol was particularly high. Most of the<br />
chemical variation was observed within populations (83.7%). With microsatellites, the variation<br />
between populations was more pronounced (32% of the total variation). Although the chemical<br />
variation between populations was small, we investigated the effects of genetic drift and migration<br />
by comparing the chemical- and molecular-differentiation patterns. The poor congruence between<br />
neighbor-joining trees, confirmed by the non-significant Mantel test between the molecular and<br />
chemical distance matrices (R=0.26, P=0.12), showed that genetic drift and migration are not the<br />
main evolutionary forces acting on chemical differentiation between populations. We could not<br />
find any effect of soil and rainfall conditions neither. Although the impact of drift and migration<br />
cannot be discounted in rationalizing between-population differentiation, the low variation among<br />
populations could result from a stabilizing selection caused by the same phytopathogen charge<br />
across the natural range.<br />

for the delineation of evolutionary significant units: case of sandalwood (Santalum<br />
austrocaledonicum Vieillard) in New Caledonia." Conservation Genetics 8(1), 99-109. Abstract.<br />
Various approaches have been developed to define conservation units for plant and animal<br />
species. In this study we combined nuclear microsatellites (from a previous published study) and<br />
chloroplast microsatellites (assessed in the present study), leaf and seed morphology traits and<br />
abiotic variables (climate and soil) to define evolutionary significant units (ESU) of Santalum<br />
austrocaledonicum, a tree species growing in New Caledonia. Results for chloroplast<br />
microsatellites showed that the total population heterozygosity was␣high, (H cp = 0.84) but varied<br />
between islands. Differentiation was strong in the total population (F stcp = 0.66) but also within<br />
the main island Grande Terre (F stcp = 0.73) and within Iles Loyauté (F stcp = 0.52), highlighting<br />
a limited gene flow between populations. These results confirmed those obtained with nuclear<br />
microsatellites. The cluster analysis on molecular markers discriminated two main groups<br />
constituted by the populations of Grande Terre and the populations of Iles Loyauté. A principal<br />
component analysis of leaf and seed morphology traits singled out the populations of Iles Loyauté<br />
and the western populations of Grande Terre. Quantitative genetic analyses showed that the<br />
variation between populations was under genetic control (broad sense heritability close to 80%).<br />
A high correlation between rainfall and morphological traits suggested an impact of climate on<br />
this variation. The integration of these results allows to define two ESUs, one corresponding to<br />
Grande Terre and Ile des Pins and the other the Iles Loyauté archipelago. This study stresses the<br />
need to restore some populations of Grande Terre that are currently threatened by their small<br />
size.<br />

substitute for East Indian sandalwood oil” J. Essen Oil Res 17, 477-480. Abstract: Three<br />
qualities of New Caledonian sandalwood oil were analysed using GC and GC/MS. Eighty-four<br />
constituents were identified: 10 monoterpenes, 72 sesquiterpenes and two others. In addition b-<br />
bisabolol/epi-b-bisabolol isomers were isolated and characterised via chiral GC chromatography.<br />
Our results indicate that New Caledonian sandalwood oil is much closer related to East Indian<br />
sandalwood oil than its West Australian counterpart. <strong>Cropwatch</strong> comments: Arguably in 2005,<br />
the world production of sandalwood oil was approx. 50 tons/annum, set against a demand of 200<br />
66
tons/annum. How then can the authors maintain, bearing in mind New Caledonia’s very limited<br />
production capability (1-2 tons at most), that this oil can be a substitute for the ever-scarcer East<br />
Indian <strong>Sandalwood</strong> oil Furthermore, the authors assume that the GC analytical trace similarity<br />
(i.e. between E.I. sandalwood oil against New Caledon sandalwood oil) will make it an automatic<br />
pertfumery substitution choice, without performing detailed odour profiling trials, or by comparing<br />
perforemance in product In fact the authors own figures show considerable differences in<br />
compositiomn exist between New Caledonoium & E.I. sandalwood oils, especially in respect to<br />
the high (Z)-lanceol (9.1%) and high (Z)-trans-α-bergamotol (9.9%) figures.<br />

Proceedings of a symposium held on 2 June 1991 at the XVII Pacific Science Congress,<br />

disjunct known distribution among the islands of the Pacific Ocean. During the prehistoric<br />
period, Melanesian and Polynesian Islanders, who had access to native sandalwood trees and<br />
shrubs, utilised the aromatic heartwood for a variety of medicinal and other purposes. Some uses<br />
had significant social import, motivating trade of Santalum from Fiji to Tonga for status and<br />
aesthetic reasons. Pre-contact trade of sandalwood may also have occurred between other South<br />
Pacific Islands in Eastern Polynesia. The biogeography of Santalum spp. is described, and some<br />
aspects of the ancient and more recent history of the use of, and human environmental impact<br />
on, sandalwood species in the Pacific are reviewed.<br />

research on wood formation in Santalum austrocaledonicum in New Caledonia are discussed.<br />
There is high variability of heartwood content at any tree size. Trees also reach maturity at<br />
different heights and diameters, making predictive models of limited value. The best correlation of<br />
yield of heartwood is with sapwood width. The latter is positively correlated with recent growth<br />
rate. Sapwood is at a minimum and the proportion of heartwood is highest when the tree matures<br />
and growth rate is reduced. It is concluded that the management of sandalwood to maximise<br />
heartwood production is complex.<br />

36.Abstract. <strong>Sandalwood</strong> is represented in New Caledonia by a single species,<br />
S.austrocaledonicum, which is divided into three varieties showing different geographic<br />
distributions: the Nouméa area for the pifosulicm variety, the foot of ultramafic rock formations for<br />
the minutzim variety and the Loyalty Islands, the Isle of Pines and a few locations in New<br />
Caledonia for the austrocaledonicum variety. It is mainly limited to secondary vegetation stands<br />
with diverse flora, but can also be found in sclerophyll forest and in low altitude scrub, which<br />
could well be its original environment. It grows in extremely varied soils, with a pH of 4 to 8 or<br />
more, containing a variety of exchangeable bases (Ca, K, Na); these soils may be rich in<br />
magnesium, nickel and chrome. Its foliar mineral composition features relatively high<br />
concentrations of nitrogen and potassium, low to medium-level concentrations of phosphorus and<br />
highly variable levels of calcium. As in other Pacific islands, sandalwood, which is highly sought<br />
after for its wood and essential oils, has undergone intensive harvesting in New Caledonia. This<br />
overexploitation, along with the destruction of its original biotopes (sclerophyll forest and lowaltítude<br />
scrub) by both agricultural and grazing activities and fire, has contributed to the growing<br />
scarcity of this species through the disappearance of numerous stands.At the present time, the<br />
minufum variety, which may well be an edaphic scrubland variety, can only be found in a single<br />
location and must be considered as an endangered species. Urgent action is therefore necessary<br />
for its survival.<br />

important for village communities to grow sandalwood collected from their natu-ral sources. With<br />
increasing interest across the country in planting sandalwoodthe Department of Forests (DoF) is<br />
actively encouraging improved clonal seed orchards to keep up with demand. Clonal propagation<br />
of mature trees by cuttings has been difficult to achieve byconventional methods, but grafting has<br />

Abstract. Aim: Patterns of genetic variation within forest species are poorly documented in island<br />
ecosystems. The distribution of molecular variation for Santalum insulare, an endangered tree<br />
species endemic to the islands of eastern Polynesia, was analysed using chloroplast<br />
microsatellite markers. The aims were to quantify the genetic diversity; to assess the genetic<br />
structure; and to analyse the geographical distribution of the diversity within and between<br />
archipelagoes. The ultimate goal was to pre-define evolutionary significant units (ESUs) for<br />
conservation and restoration programmes of this species, which constitutes a natural resource on<br />
small, isolated islands.<br />
70
Location Eleven populations, each representative of one island, covering most of the natural<br />
occurrence of S. insulare were sampled: five populations from the Marquesas Archipelago; three<br />
from the Society Archipelago; and three from the Cook–Austral Archipelago. These South Pacific<br />
islands are known for their high degree of plant endemism, and for their human occupation by<br />
Polynesian migrations. The extensive exploitation of sandalwood by Europeans nearly 200 years<br />
ago for its fragrant heartwood, used overseas in incense, carving and essential oil production for<br />
perfume, has dramatically reduced the population size of this species.<br />
Methods We used chloroplast microsatellites, which provide useful information in<br />
phylogeographical forest tree analyses. They are maternally inherited in most angiosperms and<br />
present high polymorphism. Among the 499 individuals sampled, 345 were genotyped<br />
successfully. Classical models of population genetics were used to assess diversity parameters<br />
and phylogenetic relationships between populations.<br />
Results Four microsatellite primers showed 16 alleles and their combinations provided 17<br />
chlorotypes, of which four exhibited a frequency > 10% in the total population. The gene diversity<br />
index was high for the total population (He = 0.82) and varied among archipelagoes from He =<br />
0.40 to 0.67. Genetic structure is characterized by high levels of differentiation between<br />
archipelagoes (36% of total variation) and between islands, but differentiation between islands<br />
varied according to archipelago. The relationship between genetic and geographical distance<br />
confirms the low gene flow between archipelagoes. The minimum spanning tree of chlorotypes<br />
exhibits three clusters corresponding to the geographical distribution in the three main<br />
archipelagoes.<br />
Main conclusions The high level of diversity within the species was explained by an ancient<br />
presence on and around the hotspot traces currently occupied by young islands. Diversity in the<br />
species has enabled survival in a range of habitats. Relationships between islands show that the<br />
Cook–Austral chlorotype cluster constitutes a link between the Marquesas and the Society<br />
Islands. This can be explained by the evolution of the island systems over millions of years, and<br />
extinction of intermediary populations on the Tuamotu Islands following subsidence there. Based<br />
on the unrooted neighbour-joining tree and on the genetic structure, we propose four ESUs to<br />
guide the conservation and population restoration of Polynesian <strong>Sandalwood</strong>: the Society<br />
Archipelago; the Marquesas Archipelago; Raivavae Island; and Rapa Island.<br />

Acetylenic Fatty Acid Seed Oils: Comparison within the Santalum Genus." J of American Oil<br />
Chemists Society 85(4), 353-356.. Abstract. The sandalwood kernels of Santalum insulare<br />
(Santalaceae) collected in French Polynesia give seed oils containing significant amounts of<br />
ximenynic acid, E-11-octadecen-9-oic acid (64–86%). Fatty acid (FA) identifications were<br />
performed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) of FA methyl esters. Among the<br />
other main eight identified fatty acids, oleic acid was found at a 7–28% level. The content in<br />
stearolic acid, octadec-9-ynoic acid, was low (0.7–3.0%). An inverse relationship was<br />
demonstrated between ximenynic acid and oleic acid using 20 seed oils. Results obtained have<br />
been compared to other previously published data on species belonging to the Santalum genus,<br />
using multivariate statistical analysis. The relative FA S. insulare composition, rich in ximenynic<br />
acid is in the same order of those given for S. album or S. obtusifolium. The other compared<br />
species (S. acuminatum, S. lanceolatum, S. spicatum and S. murrayanum) are richer in oleic acid<br />
(40–59%) with some little differences in linolenic content.<br />

in heartwood oil composition of young sandalwood trees in the South Pacific (Santalum yasi, S.<br />

undertaken during 2003 as part of AusAID’s SPRIG (South Pacific Regional Initiative in Forest<br />
71
Genetic Re-sources) project. It had the primary aim of extending the knowledge base on the<br />
production of heartwood and heartwood oils in young Pacific Island sandalwoods, Santalum yasi,<br />
the introduced S. album, and the spontaneous F1 hybrid, S. album ×yasi. A solvent (pentane)<br />
extraction technique was used to determine heartwood oil chemistry, following verification<br />
againststeam distillation. The heartwood was obtained from trees by non-destructive coring. Ages<br />
of the trees sampled ranged between 5 years and more than 25 years. Many of them had not yet<br />
started to lay downheartwood at their base. For those that had, heartwood was restricted to the<br />
lower most cores i.e. 0.1m or 0.2m above groundor very occasionally extending to 0.3m in older<br />
trees. Tree-to-tree variation in oil quality in S. yasi, as determined by allow-able α-santalol and β-<br />
santalol levels in the International Standard (2002) for S. album, was substantial indicating a<br />
potentialof improvement through selection and breeding if genetic parameters are favourable.<br />
Trees in Fiji of the spontaneous F1 hy-brid, S. album × yasi, were very vigorous and the<br />
heartwood oil of two (out of three) of the 7-year-old trees with heartwoodwas of excellent quality.<br />
The results suggest that rotation lengths of 25 to 30 years for the Pacific sandalwoods may be<br />
more realistic than the 15 to 20 year rotation lengths suggested by some workers.<br />

South West Pacific that bear sandal have been visited and the stands described. Mostly the<br />
population is depleted, but some stands still exist. Depending on the status of the existing<br />
population, several possible management strategies are feasible. The aim is to rebuild stands<br />
which are as diverse as possible which will be able to be managed sustainably in a few decades.<br />
Some are presently managed with the objective of regular annual heartwood production with an<br />
increase of the stock. The observations reported here, especially those regarding shade intensity,<br />
can be used to improve the silviculture of the various provenances which differ markedly. Even<br />
aspects of seed storage differ, and this demande further investigation. New techniques, which<br />
differ significantly from those previously identified for the Ile des Pins provenance, are proposed.<br />

<strong>Sandalwood</strong> in the Pacific, April 9-11, 1990, Honolulu, Hawai‘i. Abstract: Santalum paniculatum<br />
trade after more than a century was revived by the author in 1988. Revival of the trade has called<br />
attention to this resource, and the focus is now on management of this resource. A discussion<br />
about recent sandalwood logging and marketing activities in Hawai‘i is presented. The author also<br />
points out various anomalies that may be related to habitat and land use variations. The<br />
obligatory parasitic nature of this species is questioned and the coppicing tendency is confirmed.<br />
Criteria are suggested concerning the harvesting and sales that minimize fragmentation of forest<br />
areas. The concept of establishing a sandalwood research center and the cultivation of<br />
sandalwood in Hawaii is presented.<br />

"Phylogeny and biogeography of the sandalwoods (Santalum, Santalaceae): repeated dispersals<br />
throughout the Pacific." Abstract. Results of the first genus-wide phylogenetic analysis for<br />
Santalum (Santalaceae), using a combination of 18S–26S nuclear ribosomal (ITS, ETS) and<br />
chloroplast (3' trnK intron) DNA sequences, provide new perspectives on relationships and<br />
biogeographic patterns among the widespread and economically important sandalwoods.<br />
Congruent trees based on maximum parsimony, maximum likelihood, and Bayesian methods<br />
support an origin of Santalum in Australia and at least five putatively bird-mediated, long-distance<br />
dispersal events out of Australia, with two colonizations of Melanesia, two of the Hawaiian<br />
Islands, and one of the Juan Fernandez Islands. The phylogenetic data also provide the best<br />
available evidence for plant dispersal out of the Hawaiian Islands to the Bonin Islands and<br />
eastern Polynesia. Inability to reject rate constancy of Santalum ITS evolution and use of fossilbased<br />
calibrations yielded estimates for timing of speciation and colonization events in the<br />
Pacific, with dates of 1.0–1.5 million yr ago (Ma) and 0.4–0.6 Ma for onset of diversification of the<br />
two Hawaiian lineages. The results indicate that the previously recognized sections Polynesica,<br />
Santalum, and Solenantha, the widespread Australian species S. lanceolatum, and the Hawaiian<br />
species S. freycinetianum are not monophyletic and need taxonomic revision, which is currently<br />
being pursued<br />
Hirano R.T. (1990) “Propagation of Santalum, <strong>Sandalwood</strong> tree.” Proceedings of the Symposium<br />
on <strong>Sandalwood</strong> in the Pacific April 9-11, 1990, Honolulu, Hawaii Abstract. The history of the<br />
genus Santalum (sandalwood) in Hawaii is re-viewed, along with all the early reference regarding<br />
its botany and horticulture. This paper gives some seed germination and viability information on<br />
Santalum haleakalae Hbd. and S. paniculatum H. & A. both native to Hawaii and Santalum album<br />
L. native to Indonesia. Germination was shown to be highly variable: as early as 26 days after<br />
sowing for S. album, 75 days for S. paniculatum, and 155 days for S. haleakalae. Seed viability<br />
varied from 324 days in S. album, 387 days in S. haleakalae and 824 days in S. paniculatum.<br />
Germination percentages ranged from 38 percent to 77 percent. This study also showed that<br />
supplemental chelated iron is essential in the propagation of all the species tested.<br />

insular pacific tree Santalum insulare: implications for its conservation." Ann Bot (Lond). 98(5),<br />
1061-72. Abstract. BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The impact of evolutionary forces on insular<br />
systems is particularly exacerbated by the remoteness of islands, strong founder effects, small<br />
population size and the influence of biotic and abiotic factors. Patterns of molecular diversity were<br />
analysed in an island system with Santalum insulare, a sandalwood species endemic to eastern<br />
Polynesia. The aims were to evaluate clonality and to study the genetic diversity and structure of<br />
this species, in order to understand the evolutionary process and to define a conservation<br />
strategy. METHODS: Eight nuclear microsatellites were used to investigate clonality, genetic<br />
variation and structure of the French Polynesian sandalwood populations found on ten islands<br />
distributed over three archipelagos. KEY RESULTS: It was found that 58 % of the 384 trees<br />
analysed were clones. The real size of the populations is thus dramatically reduced, with<br />
sometimes only one genet producing ramets by root suckering. The diversity parameters were<br />
low for islands (n(A) = 1.5-5.0; H(E) = 0.28-0.49). No departure from Hardy-Weinberg proportion<br />
was observed except within Tahiti island, where a significant excess of homozygotes was noted<br />
in the highland population. Genetic structure was characterized by high levels of differentiation<br />
between archipelagos (27 % of the total variation) and islands (F(ST) = 0.50). The neighbourjoining<br />
tree did not discriminate the three archipelagos but separated the Society archipelago<br />
from the other two. CONCLUSIONS: This study shows that clonality is a frequent phenomenon in<br />
S. insulare. The genetic diversity within populations is lower than the values assessed in species<br />
distributed on the mainland, as a consequence of insularity. But this can also be explained by the<br />
overexploitation of sandalwood. The differentiation between archipelagos and islands within<br />
archipelagos is very high because of the limited gene flow due to oceanic barriers. Delineation of<br />
evolutionary significant units and principles for population management are proposed based on<br />
this molecular analysis.<br />

charfacteristics & soil biogeochemistry in mangrove forests of Timor Leste." Forest Ecology and<br />
Management, 255 (3),1359-1366. Abstract. The impact of small-scale cutting of mangroves by<br />
family groups was examined in three high-salinity forests on the dry tropical, north coast of Timor<br />
Leste. Before logging, these forests were characterized by moderately dense stands (3633–9610<br />
stems ha−1) of Ceriops tagal, Rhizophora apiculata, Bruguiera gymnorrhiza, and Avicennia<br />
marina, with average basal areas of 13–34 m2 ha−1, total above-ground biomass of 51–221.5 t<br />
ha−1, canopy cover of 61–73%, and leaf area index (LAI) of 4.9–5.4 m2 leaf area m−2 ground<br />
area. Approximately 1 year after the start of harvesting, these forests experienced a 30–50%<br />
decline in live stems and a 46–86% loss of above-ground biomass with more canopy gaps<br />
between less dense, smaller trees. There was some evidence of selectivity of trees 5–15 cm dbh<br />
in size, interpreted as a trade-off between cutting trees small enough for women and children to<br />
carry but large enough to warrant cost/benefit of selling for firewood. Concentrations of most<br />
75
particulate nutrients increased in surface soils in the harvested stands, reflecting bark, leaves,<br />
twigs, and small branches discarded on the forest floor. Interstitial concentrations of dissolved<br />
sulfide, metals, and ammonium also increased due to enhanced soil desiccation (evidenced by<br />
increased salinity) and decline in solute uptake and O2 translocation to live roots. Rates of<br />
anaerobic soil metabolism (sulfate reduction) declined after the onset of cutting, attributed to the<br />
decline in live roots and their metabolic activities. These cutting operations, although small-scale,<br />
are unsustainable as these forests are likely to be slow-growing in such highly saline soils. A<br />
community-based approach to conservation and sustainable management of the remaining<br />
mangrove forests of Timor Leste is recommended.<strong>Cropwatch</strong> comments: Article mentions<br />

has exploited the sandalwood sector, to the detriment of the growers of the trees. Severe<br />
depletion of the stock of sandalwood in the province has been the result. This paper documents<br />
NTT policies toward the sector, which it argues have been both inefficient and inequitable, and<br />
offers a detailed approach for reform. It also examines the political economy of these policies,<br />
and argues that the case of sandalwood provides an example of the dangers of decentralisation<br />
of economic authority in the absence of local democracy.<br />

Rabbits were oral administrated decoction of SM and SM-SA, respectively. Perchloric acid (10%)<br />
was used to precipitate the tissue samples of rabbits heart, brain, liver, kidney, acetic ether was<br />
used to extracte supernatant, and the internal standard was p-hydroxybenzoic acid. The content<br />
of DSS of SM in tissues was detected. RESULT: The content of DSS reached the highest point<br />
close to 50 min in the mentioned tissues. Before and after co-administration, the sequences of<br />
average concentration of DSS in tissues were C(kidney) > C(heart) > C(brain) > C(liver) and<br />
C(kidney) > C(liver) > C(brain) > C(heart) respectively. Compared with SM administrated singly,<br />
the content of DSS in every tissues of co-administration was higher. CONCLUSION: In<br />
Danshenyin Formulae, SA can increase concentration of DSS in target tissues significantly, and<br />
therefore therapeutic effect of SM for cardiovascular disease is raised.<br />
