Abstract:Storage of desiccation-tolerant seeds is one of the most effective germplasm conservation strategies; however, several species of tropical and subtropical humid forests have seeds that are sensitive to desiccation, and recalcitrant seeds, making conservation a challenge. Recalcitrant seeds deteriorate during storage due to high respiration rates and metabolic activity, and protocols employing osmoprotective solutions aim to minimize those effects to maintain seed viability for a more extended period.
