MALVACEAE Corchorus tridens Improvement in germination % with<br />

pretreatments<br />

MALVACEAE Gossypium sp 38.82% germination after 13 years <strong>storage</strong>,<br />

low viability after time. Oil content? Climate<br />

cool <strong>and</strong> moist. Immature. Storage problems.<br />

MALVACEAE Grewia flava Improvement in germination % with<br />

pretreatments<br />

MALVACEAE Hibiscus aponeurus Low germination<br />

MALVACEAE Hibiscus cannabinus Low viability after time<br />

MALVACEAE Malva verticillata Low germination<br />

MALVACEAE Sida cordifolia Low germination<br />

MELIACEAE Turraea sp Low germination<br />

MELIACEAE Xylocarpus moluccensis Low germination<br />

MORACEAE Artocarpus altilis Very small <strong>seeds</strong>. Little success in<br />

germination testing, only achieved by root<br />

cuttings.<br />

MUSACEAE Musa sp Diploid <strong>seeds</strong> in non-fruit varieties.<br />

Germination testing difficult <strong>and</strong> slow,<br />

radicle takes long time to extend. Possible<br />

dormancy.<br />

MYROTHAMNACEAE Myrothamnus flabellifolius High germination % when tested or planted<br />

PANDANACEAE P<strong>and</strong>anus kajui Low germination<br />

PEDALIACEAE Harpagophytum procumbens Improvement in germination % with<br />

pretreatments<br />

PEDALIACEAE Sesamum sp Low viability/dormancy?<br />

PEDALIACEAE Sesamum latifolium Low germination<br />

POACEAE<br />

Germination problems - dormancy in freshly<br />

harvested seed<br />

POACEAE Avena sp Germination problems - dormancy in freshly<br />

harvested seed. 67.14% germination after 12<br />

years <strong>storage</strong>.<br />

POACEAE Eleusine coracana Low viability in initial tests. Orthodox.<br />

Immature <strong>seeds</strong> (harvest well matured <strong>seeds</strong><br />

for <strong>storage</strong>). Maybe problems come from<br />

poor <strong>h<strong>and</strong>ling</strong> before <strong>and</strong> during <strong>storage</strong> with<br />

exception <strong>of</strong> wild relatives.<br />

POACEAE Eleusine indica Low germination<br />

POACEAE Hordeum vulgare Low germ in lab<br />

POACEAE Leptothrium senegalense Low germination<br />

POACEAE Oryza sp Orthodox. Low viability after <strong>storage</strong>.<br />

Immature <strong>seeds</strong> (harvest well matured <strong>seeds</strong><br />

for <strong>storage</strong>). Maybe problems come from<br />

poor <strong>h<strong>and</strong>ling</strong> before <strong>and</strong> during <strong>storage</strong> with<br />

exception <strong>of</strong> wild relatives. Dormancy.<br />

POACEAE Oryza sativa Germination problems - pre soak <strong>and</strong> s<strong>and</strong><br />

substrate, low viability in initial tests. Short<br />

lived species.<br />

POACEAE Pennisetum glaucum Orthodox. Low viability. Immature <strong>seeds</strong><br />

(harvest well matured <strong>seeds</strong> for <strong>storage</strong>).<br />

Maybe problems come from poor <strong>h<strong>and</strong>ling</strong><br />

before <strong>and</strong> during <strong>storage</strong> with exception <strong>of</strong><br />

wild relatives.
