BORAGINACEAE Heliotropium zeylanicum Low germination BRASSICACEAE Brassica sp Germination problems - seedling evaluation BURSERACEAE Commiphora schimperi Low germination CAPPARACEAE Cleome gynandra Low viability in initial tests. Dormancy – needs scarification. CAPPARACEAE Maerua grantii Low germination CARICACEAE Carica papaya Problems in germination. Intermediate. Dormancy. Have to wait for fruits to mature, then remove pulp and wash seeds to avoid fungal infection (also use fungicide), then dry with ash. Can conserve for 5 to 6 months, then regenerate after this time. Seeds may germinate during drying due to high relative humidity. CHENOPODIACEAE Chenopodium quinoa 84.5% germination after 25 years storage CLUSIACEAE Garcinia buchananii Low viability COMBRETACEAE Combretum sp Low germination COMPOSITAE Felicia muricata Low germination COMPOSITAE Helianthus annuus Low viability in initial tests, low viability post storage, germination problems - seedling evaluation. 64.66% germination after 13 years storage. Orthodox. Mechanical damage. Oily seed? (short lived). Toxicity during viability testing. Climate cool and moist. Immaturity. Storage issues. COMPOSITAE Kleinia kleinioides Low germination COMPOSITAE Tarchonanthus camphoratus Low germination COMPOSITAE Vernonia anthelmintica Low germination COMPOSITAE Vernonia brachycalyx Low germination CONVOLVULACEAE Ipomoea batatas Seeds not often found, only flowers. Seeds cannot be used for propagation. Seeds segregate heavily when germinated. CUCURBITACEAE CUCURBITACEAE Citrullus lanatus var citroides Low viability in initial tests Difficulties ingermination at initial stage. Improvement in germination % with pretreatments. Problems in germination of wild species, not with cultivated species. CUCURBITACEAE Cucumis africanus Improvement in germination % with pretreatments CUCURBITACEAE Cyclanthera pedata 95% germination after 15 years storage CUCURBITACEAE Lagenaria siceraria Spherical shaped seeds, suspected difficult. May have high oil content. Immaturity issues? DILLENIACEAE Tetracera litoralis Low germination EBENACEAE Euclea divinorum Improvement in germination % with pretreatments
EBENACEAE Euclea undulate Improvement in germination % with pretreatments EUPHORBIACEAE Bridelia taitensis Low germination ICACINACEAE Apodytes dimidiata Low germination LAMIACEAE Becium angustifolium Low germination LAMIACEAE Endostemon ctenoneurus Low germination LAMIACEAE Fuerstia africana Low germination LAMIACEAE Leucas neuflizeana Low germination LAURACEAE Persea americana Problems in germination. Have to wait for fruits to mature, then remove pulp and wash seeds to avoid fungal infection (also use fungicide), then dry. Can conserve for 5 to 6 months, then regenerate after this time. Seeds may germinate during drying due to high relative humidity. LEGUMINOSAE Germination problems - lack of imbibition, hardseededness. Orthodox. Problems from over dryingbut short-lived. Mechanical treatment (some seeds are soft such that mechanical processing leads to physical destruction of the seed). Oily seeds are sometimes dried with non oily seeds. LEGUMINOSAE Arachis hypogaea Low viability in initial tests, low viability post storage. Immaturity (leave in pods). Short storage life. Mixed experience between institutions. Problems in drying for storage. LEGUMINOSAE Caesalpinia sp Low germination LEGUMINOSAE Cajanus cajan Low viability in initial tests LEGUMINOSAE Cicer arientinum 88% germination after 13 years storage LEGUMINOSAE Eriosema shrense Low viability LEGUMINOSAE Glycine max Low viability after time. 100% germination after 13 years storage. LEGUMINOSAE Lens culinaris 90% germination after 13 years storage LEGUMINOSAE Phaseolus lunatus Low viability in initial tests LEGUMINOSAE Phaseolus vulgaris Germination problems - sand or paper, different results LEGUMINOSAE Senna italica Improvement in germination % with pretreatments LEGUMINOSAE Sphenostylis stenocapa Low viability in initial tests LEGUMINOSAE Vigna subterranea Low viability in initial tests, low viability post storage, low viability in field. Immaturity (leave in pods). LEGUMINOSAE Vigna unguiculata Short term seed storage - low viability post storage, insect infestation. Germination protocol needs to be established. MALVACEAE Abelmoschus esculentus Low viability post storage/physical dormancy? Short-lived. Easily attacked by insects. MALVACEAE Corchorus sp Difficulties at initial stage. May be overcome over time. MALVACEAE Corchorus olitorius High germination % when tested or planted, improvement in germination % with pretreatments
