ON PLATYCLADUS ORIENTALIS (CUPRESSACEAE) IN CRIMEA K e y w o r d s : Arceuthobium oxycedri, Platycladus orientalis, Crimea, Sevastopol © YU.A. KRASYLENKO, 2014 Abstract The location of massive Arceuthobium oxycedri invasion on (Platycladus orientalis) within the Sevastopol city boundaries is reported. The range of the dioecious evergreen hemiparasitic perennial juniper dwarf mistletoe Arceuthobium oxycedri (DC.) M. Bieb. (= Razoumofskya oxycedri (DC.) F.W. Sсhultz ex Nyman) extends from west to east to more than 10 000 km — from Spain and Morocco to Tibet and Western China (Ciesla et al., 2004), being restricted mainly within the boundaries of the An- cient Mediterranean floristic province of the Holarctis as delimited by A. Takhtajan (1978). Whithin its vast geo rgaphic range, A. oxycedri parasitize various repre- sentatives of the family Cupressaceae S.F. Gray, mainly species of Juniperus L. In the European Mediterranean region, Anatolia, and Middle East the species affects two related junipers: sharp cedar, or cade (Juniperus oxycedrus L.), and Eastern prickly juniper (J. deltoides R.P. Adams) (Ciesla et al., 2004). The last one, accor- ding to the current taxonomic concepts (Adams, 2004; Adams et al., 2005; Yena, 2012), occurs in the moun- tan part of the Crimean Peninsula, reaching elevations of 700—800 m above sea level (a.s. l.). J. deltoides, a typical element of shyblyak-like plant communities, usualy comprises underwood of broadleaf and conifer forests, and in some sites forms light sparse forests in all natural areas of the Crimean Mountains, excuding non-forested uplands (so-called yaylas); however, the distribution of its hemiparasite A. oxycedri seems to be rather irreguar. The juniper dwarf mistletoe infection of various juniper populations varies in a broad range: from its complete absence in the isolated populations of the Main Ridge (Glavnaya Gryada) to 90.6 % of the infestation rate in some localities of the Crimean South Coast (Ruguzova, 2002). According to our observa- tions in 2012—2013, the most invaded populations of J. deltoides are those in the South Cost (specifically be- tween Simeiz and Goluboy Zaliv settlements, Yalta City Council), as well as in adjacent coastal plots of the Main Ridge of the Crimean Mountains (vicinity of Balaklava) and the South-Western Crimean Foothills (Fig. 1, а, b). Aside from its main host, A. oxycedri also occasionally occurs on other native Juniperus species, on Greek juniper (J. excelsa M. Bieb.) inter alia (Isikov, 1986; Lazarev, Grygorov, 1989), and on some exotic representatives of Cupressaceae cultivated in the peninsula (Isikov, Zakharenko, 1988). Among the Флористичні знахідки УКРАЇНСЬКИЙ БОТАНІЧНИЙ ЖУРНАЛ 600 ISSN 0372-4123. Ukr. Bot. J., 2014, 71(5) 18 species and ornamental forms of Cupressaceae in- vaded by juniper dwarf mistletoe in Crimea, these au- thors mention Oriental thuja (Platycladus orientalis (L.) Franco) that naturally occurs mainly beyond the native range of A. oxycedri, in Nothern China (including Inner Mongolia), Korean Peninsula, Russian Far East, and some Central Asian republics (Farjon, 2013). In the course of surveying the area of the Fraternal (Bratskoe) Cemetary at the North Side of Sevastopol (44о38`10.61``N, 33о33`30.17`E), on March 8, 2014 an interesting case of massive invasion of A. oxycedri on old-growing stands of P. orientalis was revealed. The lo- cality is the slightly slopping (5—10º incidence angle of different areas) southern slope of the hill (up to 60 m a.s. l.) facing Sevastopol Bay. The native flora of the lo- cality, rather well preserved in considerably large areas, is represented by Sub-Mediterranean woodland formed by Pistacia mutica Fisch. et C.A. Mey. and J. deltoides, with shrubby underwood with Jasminum fruticans L. and Ligustrum vulgare L.; old trees of J. excelsa solely occur as well. We have investigated the top of the hill and the adjacent areas of 7.13 ha on March 8 and 14, 2014. Hundreds of P. orientalis trees grew in the Fra- ternal Cemetary area, and old individuals attain 5—7 m in height and 0.45—0.55 m of trunk diameter. It has to be noted that Oriental tsuga occurs here as a natu- ralized alien species actively invading the native plant community, since the multiple young trees of 0.7—1.5 m in height not affacted by A. oxycedri vegetate under the woodland canopy. At the same time, almost 100 % of mature specimens of P. orientalis growing in the Fra- ternal Cemetary area, from the base to the top of the hill, bear A. oxycedri. Generally, A. oxycedri localizes at the upper 2/3 of the host crown of P. orientalis, and the infestation rate runs to 5—9 points (of 12 maximum possible) in accordance with the Hawksworth (1977) six-class dwarf mistletoe rating system modified by D. Gajšek et al. (2013) (Fig. 2, a). Fig. 2.

Arceuthobium oxycedri on Juniperus deltoides in the South- Western Crimean Foothills: a — Sevastopol, Fraternal (Bratskoe) Cemetary; b — Mount Zybuk- Tepe between Ternovka and Rodnoye villages, Balaklava District of Sevastopol 601ISSN 0372-4123. Укр. ботан. журн., 2014, т. 71, № 5 Separate A. oxycedri specimens could exceed 25— 30 cm in diameter. Our data suggest that the observed case of such a massive invasion of P. orientalis by juni- per dwarf mistletoe is unique for Crimea. In the Nikita (Nikitsky) Botanical Garden (Yalta City Council) and Novyi Svet settlement (Sudak City Council) A. oxyce- dri was found on single P. orientalis specimens; 40 % of Oriental tsuga trees in the Foros Park were invaded by the hemiparasite, but less than a half of the trees were severely damaged (Isikov, Zakharenko, 1988). Here- with, P. orientalis in those localities occupies smaller areas than in the Fraternal Cemetary Park, where it is the prevailing species. The infestation rate of J. deltoides in the Fraternal Cemetary population is high as well: approximately 70—80 %. Therefore, the infection of the alien spe- cies (P. orientalis) occurs under the direct contact with this representative of the native dendroflora, but not by the scheme suggesting that one more exotic Cupressa- ceae species, Monterey cypress (Cupressus macrocarpa Hartw. et Gordon), is required as an "intermediate link" (Isikov, Zakharenko, 1988). At the North Side of Sev- astopol, juniper and Oriental tsuga trees often grow close to each other, touching by their branches. Cer- tainly, close planting of P. orientalis in the alleys near St. Nikolas Church on the top of the hill also favoured the hemiparasite spread. A. oxycedri seed dispersal in the populations of the host plants is provided by the viscin-mediated ballistic mechanism that allows to dis- seminate the seeds to the distance comparable to the infected tree height; ornithochory occurs rarely as well (Isikov, Zakharenko, 1988; Hawksworth, Wiens, 1996). Arceuthobium oxycedri has not been found on two other species growing in the Fraternal Cemetary area (J. excelsa and Cupressus sempervirens L.), which sug- gests their higher resistance to this hemiparasite, as it has been supposed earlier (Isikov, Zakharenko, 1988). Juniper dwarf mistletoe infection can be easily re- vealed due to the typical morphological changes: name- ly, cylindrical thickening (muft-like swellings) in sites of shoots germination, and harp-shaped incurvations and terminal thinning of the host plant branches (Fig. 2, b). In comparison, on the invaded J. deltoides branches only the "muft" formation occurs. Parasitizing by A. oxycedri causes photoassimilates outflow, inhibits host plant growth, lowers its drought resistance, and enhances viral, bacterial and fungal invasions (Hawksworth, Wiens, 1996). In compliance with this statement, we have found many died and dying stag-headed J. deltoides and P. orientalis at the Fraternal Cemetary. Oriental tsuga is cultivated in Crimea from the begin- ning of the 19th century. Almost all findings of A. oxyce- dri on P. orientalis are restricted to Crimea (Ciesla et al., 2004). Despite the fact that this species in widely used for landscape design, all cases of its invasion by A. oxy- cedri have been described for old parks and dendrologi- cal collections 130—200 years of age, such as those of the Nikita Botanical Garden arboretum, and parks in Foros and Novyi Svet settlements. It has to be men- tioned in this respect that the Fraternal Cemetary Park has been planted in the second half of the 19th century (probably not later than 1870), and the Oriental tsuga planting stocks were delivered from the Nikita Botani- cal Garden and Odessa nursery. However, there are stands of younger age here also invaded by A. oxycedri that could have been growing in the Fraternal Cemetary area since the mid-20th century. Besides the prolonged contact of the exotic species with A. oxycedri, one more condition that increse the probability of P. orientalis in- vasion might be its proximity of artificial stands to juni- per forests (both at present and in the past). Specimens of A. oxycedri samples on branches of P. orientalis collected on March 8 and 14, 2014, are de- posited at the herbaria of the M.G. Kholodny Institute of Botany, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (KW), and Karadag Nature Reserve (PHEO). The author expresses her gratitude to O.V.
