1. Maintenance of wetland plant communities: the role of the seed bank in regeneration of native plants
ABSTRACT Exotic grasses have been introduced into wetlands and can compete with native plants due to their high tolerance of flood and dry periods. Flooding can facilitate seed dispersal of exotic species and reduce the diversity of native species. We compared two grasslands to assess whether seed banks can maintain the diversity of native plants in wetlands

2. Soil Seed Banks in a Forest Under Restoration and in a Reference Ecosystem in Southeastern Brazil
ABSTRACT The current study aims to characterize the soil seed banks in a forest under restoration and in a seasonal semideciduous forest remnant, as well as to quantitatively and qualitatively compare them in order to evaluate the seed bank potential to influence the restoration process. In total, 60 samples of soil seed banks were collected in two adjacent

3. Storage and in vitro germination of orchids (Orchidaceae) seeds from Atlantic Forest – Brazil
Abstract: The orchid seed banks of Atlantic Forest may be considered a key strategy for the conservation of species threatened with extinction by indiscriminate collection or habitat destruction. The aim of this study was to evaluate the seed viability, to choose the best culture medium for the asymbiotic germination and evaluate germination, after storage f

4. MODELING OF THE KINETICS OF CRYOGENIC FREEZING OF LIMA BEAN SEEDS AS A FUNCTION OF INITIAL WATER CONTENT
ABSTRACT Cryopreservation is a technique used to preserve genetic material at ultra-low temperatures in cryogenic germplasm banks. In order to enable the cryopreservation of a seed, it is necessary to study its appropriate freezing temperature and its water content, because seeds reach maximum physiological quality with high water contents, and they tolerate

5. Storage protein variability in natural populations of maté (Ilex paraguariensis) in Brazil
RESUMO: A variabilidade de proteínas de reserva das sementes foi analisada em 168 árvores de quatro populações naturais de erva-mate (Ilex paraguariensis) dos estados brasileiros Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina, Paraná e Mato Grosso do Sul. Estes marcadores foram utilizados para estimar o grau de diferenciação entre e dentro da espécie porque são

6. Seed Bank from Abandoned Pastures in the Coastal Region of Paraná
ABSTRACT The aim of the present study was to evaluate the seed bank of three contiguous areas: pasture abandoned for ten years, with soil amended by partial beheading for two years at horizon A (area I); pasture identical to the previous example, but with recent mobilization of the topsoil (area II); area in the early stages of regeneration (area III). Fiel

7. Comet and cytogenetic tests as tools for evaluating genomic instability in seeds of Oryza sativa L. and Phaseolus vulgaris L. from gene banks
Abstract This study aimed to assess the feasibility of comet and cytogenetic tests as tools for evaluating genomic instability in seeds of Oryza sativa L. (rice) and Phaseolus vulgaris (beans) L. from gene banks. Rice and beans were exposed to methyl methanesulfonate (MMS) as a reference DNA damaging agent. Seeds of two accessions of rice and beans were obta

8. Effects of flooding and its temporal variation on seedling recruitment from the soil seed bank of a Neotropical floodplain
ABSTRACT Evaluation of the effects of flooding on seedling recruitment from seed banks helps in understanding vegetation regeneration in floodplains. We studied the effects of simulated flooding on richness and abundance of, and temporal variation in, seedling recruitment from the soil seed bank of a floodable savanna of the Pantanal wetland, under two condi

9. The seed bank of subtropical grasslands with contrasting land-use history in southern Brazil
The expansion of land use for agriculture is among the main reasons for the reduction of natural grasslands around the world, and little is known about the recovery potential of original native grassland vegetation from seed banks. The aim of this study was to assess the seed bank potential of grassland areas with or without history of cultivation in souther

10. Effects of flooding on the spatial distribution of soil seed and spore banks of native grasslands of the Pantanal wetland
ABSTRACTTo better understand the role that flooding plays in shaping plant communities of native floodable grasslands of the Pantanal and to characterize the spatial distribution of plants, we present the results of a survey of soil seed and spore banks using the seedling emergence method. We hypothesized that terrain subjected to the deepest and longest flo

11. Distribución vertical del banco de semillas de Euphorbia davidii Subils, en lotes agrícolas de la zona centro de la provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina
Euphorbia davidii Subils a summer annual weed, that is present in the center of Buenos Aires province, Argentina. Field studies were conducted to determine the seed banks and the vertical distribution of this specie in agricultural lots, in Azul and Olavarría. Two hundred forty soil samples, from 60 randomly distributed points were extracted at four soil de

12. Seed bank composition in a secondary forest in the Lower Delta of the Paraná River (Argentina)
The native forests once occupying the coastal levees of the Lower Delta islands of the Paraná River (in Argentina) have been replaced by commercial forests. Many of those forests have been abandoned, resulting in secondary forest formation that is subject to numerous invasive exotic species. A priori observations suggest that successional trends do not lead
