چکیده
Agents responsible for tosses of conifer seed and methods for seed protection are reviewed. Published information indicates that much seed is destroyed, especially by seedeating rodents and birds. Improvement of existing protective methods and development of new chemical means are necessary to overcome the problem.

متن کاملIn vivo 13C NMR metabolite profiling: potential for understanding and assessing conifer seed quality.
High-resolution 13C MAS NMR spectroscopy was used to profile a range of primary and secondary metabolites in vivo in intact whole seeds of eight different conifer species native to North America, including six of the Pinaceae family and two of the Cupressaceae family. In vivo 13C NMR provided information on the total seed oil content and fatty acid composition of the major storage lipids in a n...
