Introduction
There are 14 scientists from 7 different countries registered and involved with the Seed Storage Committee. The common goal of the committee is the development and/or improvement of effective medium- and long-term storage methods. To achieve these goals it is important to have an appreciation of the biological processes that underlie the seed storage behaviour and how these processes are affected by actual storage. This is particularly true of recalcitrant (non-orthodox) seed germplasm.
At present the committee is divided into three working groups viz. Orthodox seeds; Non-Orthodox Seeds and Development of Methodologies. Research aspects in common to all three working groups are the impact of the seed associated mycoflora and the rôle of cryopreservation.
