Enhancing Food Security Through Seed Banking and Use of Wild Plants: Case Studies From the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew
We show how food security can be enhanced through seed banking and use of wild plants by showcasing three science-based plant conservation and seed research projects from the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew on underutilized useful plants and crop wild relatives.Ulian, Tiziana ; Pritchard, Hugh W. ; Cockel, Christopher P. ; Mattana, Efisio

Interaction of functional and environmental traits on seed germination of the multipurpose tree Flacourtia indica
Flacourtia indica (Salicaceae) is a multipurpose tree native to tropical regions of Africa and India, where it is mainly used for food and medicines. Its use in reforestation is limited by poor knowledge of its seed biology and germination ecology. The aim of this study was to determine how its... -

Thermal Time and Cardinal Temperatures for Germination of Cedrela odorata L.
Thermal time models are useful to determine the thermal and temporal requirements for seed germination. This information may be used as a criterion for species distribution in projected scenarios of climate change, especially in threatened species like red cedar. The objectives of this work were to determine the cardinal temperatures...Sampayo-Maldonado, Salvador ; Ordoñez-Salanueva, Cesar ; Mattana, Efisio ; Ulian, Tiziana ; Way, Michael …

Assessing seed desiccation responses of native trees in the Caribbean
Native trees from the Caribbean were tested for seed desiccation responses, by adapting the “100-seed test” protocol. Ninety-seven seed lots of 91 species were collected in the Dominican Republic and tested for germination immediately after collecting, and after drying and moist storage. Seed desiccation sensitivity was assessed as a continuous...
