(273) Orchid Seed Storage for Germplasm Preservation

Effect of Seed Storage on Integrity of Grass Germplasm

Experiment on estimation of qualitative changes in populations of meadow fescue (Festuca pratensis Huds.) after seed storage in different conditions were taken. Phenotypical traits for plants derived from seeds stored during 54 months in two different kind of storage conditions were compared. Storage of meadow fescue seed during 54 months in unfavourable conditions resulted in decrease of initi...

Aspects of Orchid Conservation: Seed and Pollen Storage and their Value in Re-introduction Projects

Dry seeds of many orchid species, when stored at low temperatures, are capable of maintaining high levels of viability for many years, supporting orchid seed banking as a valuable part of emerging integrated conservation strategies. The Orchid Seed Science and Sustainable Use (OSSSU) network has already stored over 300+ species across 26 countries around the world. Its future ambition to store ...

Preservation DataStores: New storage paradigm for preservation environments

ion levels to existing OSD commands. In PDS, both OSD and its HL API are executed in a separate process from the upper layers. The XAM layer communicates with the HL-OSD interface via RPC. XAM session execution model A XAM storage system contains one or more XSystems, where each XSystem is a logical container of XSet records. An XSet, the basic artifact in XAM, is a data Table 1 Preservation Da...

Encapsulation of Protocorm of Cymbidium bicolor Lindl. for Short-Term Storage and Germplasm Exchange

The present study describes the encapsulation of protocorm of Cymbidium bicolor Lindl. from 60 days-old in seed cultures for short- term conservation and propagation. Various concentrations and combinations of gelling matrix (sodium alginate) and complexing agents (calcium chloride) were tested to prepare uniform beads. The ideal beads were ob- tained through a combination of 3% sodium alginate...
