Seed persistence is the survival of seeds in the environment once they have reached
maturity. Seed persistence allows a species, population or genotype to survive long after the …

Premise of research. Orchids are among the most enigmatic of plant species. Yet the
Orchidaceae comprises more species at risk of extinction than any other plant family. The …

The use of native plant seeds is fundamental to large-scale rehabilitation and the re-
establishment of self-sustaining ecosystems after high-impact mining activity has ceased …

Management of seed banks conserving the biodiversity of phylogenetically diverse species
requires insight into seed longevity. This study determined the seed longevity of 172 species …

Premise Ex situ seed banking is critical for plant conservation globally, especially for
threatened floras in tropical ecosystems like Hawai 'i. Seed bank managers must maximize …

Production of high quality seeds is of fundamental importance for successful crop
production. However, knowledge of the effects of increased temperature resulting from …

Maximising seed longevity is crucial for genetic resource preservation and longevity of
orthodox seeds is determined by environmental conditions (water content and temperature) …

The potential for the pre‐zygotic plant growth environment to play a role in determining seed
longevity was investigated for a species that inhabits arid to semi‐arid Australia. Seed …

Seed longevity, which is essential for germplasm conservation and survival of many land
plant species, can vary considerably within species and cultivars. Here, we explore the …

Context Fifty per cent of Australian rainforest species produce orthodox seeds, but little is
known about their longevity in storage. Aims To (1) estimate the longevity of seeds of 33 …
