Abstract:Meaningful conservation techniques for the endangered Morus boninensis require seed production and storage, since in situ purebred seed production is infrequent in Ogasawara Islands (World Natural Heritage Site) in Japan.• Ex situ living M. boninensis specimens produced seeds by open-and artificialpollination in a greenhouse. Seed desiccation tolerance and storage characteristics were examined. Open-pollinated seeds were dried at 75, 33 and 8% relative humidity (RH) for 5 days then cryopreserved at À170 °C. Ar… Show more
