Abstract/Contents: | "Seeds of crested wheatgrass, Agropyron cristatum (L.) Gaertn., intermediate wheatgrass, A. intermedium (Host.) Beauv., and smooth bromegrass, Bromus inermis Leyss., were stored for 20 yr under various conditions. Temperature was a major factor affecting success with viability inversely related to storage temperature. At -7 and -18 °C, viabilities of 80-90% were shown after 20 yr storage. Drying seed for 7.5 h at 60 °C prior to storage gave little improvement over undried seed stored with 8% moisture. Plastic bags gave storage as good as glass jars with screw-top lids, although plastic bags were less effective in excluding moisture. It was concluded that adequate germination for reproduction of strains could be obtained after 25-30 yr of storage." |
