Juniperus communis L. (Cupressaceae) is a plant widely cultivated in the Northern hemisphere. Juniper berries, the fruit of Juniperus communis L. are a highly valued, essential oil-rich plant material used traditionally in folk medicine as antiseptic, diuretic, antirheumatic, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antifungicidal agent. This paper reviews information on extraction methods of the essential oil from the juniper berries, its chemical composition and antimicrobial as well as antioxidant properties.
A new Sistotrema species from Northern Finland, S. luteoviride is described and illustrated. The two hitherto known collections derive from Finnish Lapland and both grew on corticated Juniperus communis. The spores are very similar to those of S. citriforme, which however is a simple septate species and differs clearly by its ITS sequence.
Juniperus communis L. is increasingly threatened in many parts of Europe, including the Baltic region. Our present study was aimed at evaluation of genetic diversity of J. communis populations of Lithuania. Fourteen selected populations differed in geography and habitats (coastal brown dunes covered with natural Scots pine forests, further referred as B; J. communis shrubs, F; transition mires and quaking bogs, D; subcontinental moss Scots pine forests, G; xero-thermophile fringes, E). Molecular variance was analyzed among populations (140 individuals, in total), employing 14 Inter Simple Sequence Repeat (ISSR) markers. Percentage of polymorphic loci differed between populations belonging to the different habitat type, being the highest for population representing habitat F (68.2%) and the lowest for populations D (42.9%). The data demonstrate the possibility to underestimate or overestimate this parameter if some habitat populations are bypassed. Means per population of Nei‘s gene diversity and Shannon‘s information indexes, were 0.158 and 0.239, respectively. Significant correlation between genetic and geographic distance of populations of J. communis was documented by Mantel test. Bayesian analysis of ISSR data has separated populations of Southern Lithuania from Northern part. Juniperus communis populations representing different habitats showed moderate interpopulation variance at ISSR loci. In ISSR-based dendrograms, individuals were correctly allocated to populations, even in case of populations growing in 0.5 km vicinity (habitats D and G). Among all populations the most distinct one was representing habitat of J. communis shrubs (F) protected by EUNIS. Principal coordinate analysis of weighted averages of Ellenberg’s indicator values (EIV) for herbaceous species, separated populations according to habitat type, while the same type analysis of ISSR data allowed distinguishing E habitat populations from populations of all other habitat type but G. Our study shows that on the local (Lithuanian) scale, molecular variance between populations of J. communis at ISSR loci might be related to habitat type. For evaluation and preservation of diversity of J. communis, different assessment methods should be included and management strategies should be directed in the way to retain variety of habitats encompassing both widely spread and less common ones.
Studies on the population dynamics of aphids Cinara juniperi De Geer on the shrubs of Juniperus communis L. in the urban conditions of Lublin were conducted in the years 2002–2004 in two types of sites: a street one and a park one. The first individuals of this species were most frequently observed at the turn of April and May, while the maximum population was found in the first half of May. The course of the weather conditions affected the population dynamics of aphids. Those insects were observed in much bigger numbers on the shrubs growing in the street site. The preying of C. juniperi caused browning and drying out of the needles and inhibition of the stem growth, which had an influence on lower decorative character of the examined plants.
The common juniper is a well−known arboreal plant with wide range of the occurrence and small habitat requirements. It is the most numerous coniferous shrub in Poland, sometimes taking shape of small tree. There is no sufficient data about the anatomy as well as physical and mechanical properties of common juniper wood in available literature. Hence, the objectives of this paper were to supplement the knowledge about the properties and anatomy of the juniper wood. The nine trunks of the common juniper of column shape were harvested to this investigation. These small trees with height up to 5 meters were 34−38 years−old. They grew on postagricultural area on brown podzol (common sand) in Łomża Forest District (E Poland). It is a sunny area on the rim of subcontinental fresh coniferous forest – one of the typical and favourable habitat for the common juniper in Poland. We analysed the microstructural elements of common juniper wood. The main component of the microstructure are short (average length 2.5 mm) and thin−walled tracheids (wall thickness from 2.4 µm in traheids of spring wood to 4.2 µm in tracheids of summer wood). Domination of this type of microstructural elements has influence on physical and mechanical properties of wood. Investigated wood characterised with low coefficient of shrinkage. The volumetric coefficient of shrinkage is 10.2%, so the wood has not tendency to crack and distort. The common juniper wood has slightly higher density (562 kg/m3 in air−dry state) than Scots pine wood and similar hardness, shear strength (91 MPa), static bending strength (85 MPa) and compression strength parallel to grain (49 MPa). The latter is directly proportional to density of the wood. The other mechanical properties of common juniper wood: modulus of elasticity and tension strength parallel to grain are significantly lower than for Scots pine wood. It is the influence of wood microstructure, not rectilinear arrangement of cell in wood and significant content of juvenile wood. Considering these aspects and modes dimensions of common juniper raw material, the potential use are different including small wooden articles especially kitchen accessories.
Common juniper (Juniperus communis L.) is the well-known and valuable medicinal plant. Juniper berry is used as a herbal medicine mainly due to its essential oil with diuretic, antiinflammatory, choleretic and cholagogue activities. Some other substances, as polyphenols, are present in juniper berries and other parts of this plant. The aim of this study was to estimate total polyphenols content in common juniper sprouts (leaves) originating from different places at the kujawsko-pomorskie province. The total polyphenols content was carried out by means of spectroscopic method with Folin-Ciocalteu reagent and shown as pyrogallol equivalents. The obtained results ranged in limits from 2.40±0.23% to 3.43±0.17%.
The observed juniper decline, lack of natural regeneration, and disappearance of numerous populations of the common juniper in Poland, were the major reasons for initiation of research on its sexual propagation and seedling production. This study shows that seed dormancy in this species is broken by warm-cold stratification at 15°C/3°C, for 14+12 weeks, respectively. Seed drying for 72 h at room temperature in the middle of the warm phase (i.e. after 4–8 weeks of stratification at 15°C) and the following cold stratification at 3°C, cause a significant increase in seed germination capacity at cyclically alternating temperatures of 3~15°C, and in seedling emergence in growing trays (67 cells each) in a greenhouse. However, seedling emergence was over 2-fold to 4-fold lower in an open nursery than in the greenhouse. After sowing in the nursery, secondary dormancy was probably induced, because some seeds germinated in the following year. Some very young, 2-year-old seedlings started to produce male or rarely female cones. This study also showed that soil conditions of mother plants can influence the pattern of seed germination and seed ling emergence.
