Drying banana seeds for ex situ conservation
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Conservation Physiology"
DOI: 10.1093/conphys/coab099
Abstract: We investigated responses to drying for seeds of banana wild relatives to improve seed conservation for food security. We found that mature seeds were desiccation tolerant to levels required for seed genebanking but less mature… read more here.
