Comparative Seed Cryopreservation of Indonesian and New Zealand Epiphytic And Terrestrial Orchids.
The atypical seed storage behaviour reported in several orchid species justifies cryopreservation as a complementary conservation strategy to conventional seed banking. This study aimed to assess the seed cryopreservation potential of five orchid species; tropical epiphytic, Indonesian species (Dendrobium strebloceras, D. lineale), one temperate New Zealand species (D. cunninghamii) and... -

(Epi)genetic control of secondary seed dormancy depth and germination in Capsella bursa-pastoris.
Despite the importance of secondary dormancy for plant life cycle timing and survival, there is insufficient knowledge about the (epigenetic) regulation of this trait at the molecular level. Our aim was to determine the role of (epi)genetic processes in the regulation of secondary seed dormancy using natural genotypes of the... -

Stimulatory and inhibitory effects of light on Cereus repandus (Cactaceae) seed germination are strongly dependent on spectral quality.
In small seeds, light often promotes germination and longer-term exposure to darkness reduces light sensitivity. In cacti inhabiting harsh environments, a rapid response to light exposure is potentially advantageous for seedling establishment. We exposed dark-imbibed seeds of the cactus to doses of red (RED) light and far-red (FR) light. The...Yang, X-Y. ; Pritchard, Hugh W.
