  7. Rethinking the Approach to Viability Monitoring in Seed Genebanks

    Abstract -Conservation Physiology Seed viability monitoring, usually through a germination test, is a key aspect of genebank management; a low viability result triggers the regeneration of an accession in order to ensure that the genetic diversity of the accession is conserved and available for...

  8. The Conservation of Wild Plant Species in Seed Banks: Attention to both taxonomic coverage and population biology will improve the role of seed banks as conservation tools

    Abstract - BioScience Current extinction rates of plant and animal speciesare estimated to be as much as 100- to 1000-fold higher than during the recent geological past, a phenomenon that conservation biologists attribute to wide-scale destruction of natural habitats (Pimm et al. 1995). As...

  9. Free Radical Processes and Loss of Seed Viability During Desiccation in the Recalcitrant Species Quercus robur L.

    Abstract -New Phytologist Loss of moisture in mature seeds ofQuercus roburL. was associated with loss of viability, a rise in lipid peroxidation and build-up of free radicals. Radical-initiated damage was largely confined to the embryonic axes as their moisture contents declined to below 47 %....
