	Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation: Secrets of the seed bank
		Seed banks also contribute to the future plant life in a habitat, especially after a disturbance event that enhances germination and regeneration of seeds by opening up a space for plants.
		Seed bank studies can help land managers recognize exotic or problematic species that may be entering the community as seeds, not yet visible as plants, but nonetheless accumulating on the site and building the potential to become established plants.
		The goal was to assess the seed banks of the wetland communities along a transect extending from the northern boundary several miles to the south.

	Banking on Seeds, the Millennium Seed Bank Project \| One-Garden
		Seeds are so much a part of our daily lives that we tend not to give them a second thought, yet seeds provide as much as 75 percent of the food consumed by humans worldwide, in the form of corn, rice, wheat, and other grains.
		Seed banks are repositories of the genetic information held in plant species of specific interest to organizations or institutions that collects and stores the seed.
		The seed bank at the Vavilov Institute set the stage for a development of new scientific disciplines of seed storage and germination theory in practice eventually leading to development of seed banks worldwide holding genetic information for food plants, ornamentals, and native plants.

	Seed Bank
		Seed banks are also very efficient and cost-effective means of conserving plants, because the seed occupies very little space and requires only periodic attention.
		The seeds in the Wildflower Center's Seed Bank could be used in the future to help restore damaged or destroyed environments, or to increase numbers of rare and endangered plants in the wild, thus relieving pressure on the wild populations.
		The result of putting seeds into a seed bank is to slow down the rate at which they deteriorate and at which they lose their ability to germinate.

	UEF Education: World Seed Bank
		So far nearly 260 million seeds representing 5,118 species of wildflowers and other plants have arrived and by 2010, the number is expected to grow to 24,000, nearly 10 percent of the world's seed-bearing plants.
		The seeds are sorted, separated by hand from their pods, cleaned and dried to a moisture content of 5 percent and a humidity level of 15 percent, drier than most deserts.
		Seeds in each batch are examined by X-rays to make sure they have not been damaged by insects or harmed in other ways that would keep them from germinating.

	Seedbank Summary
		The primary objective of seed banks is to maintain the genetic diversity and integrity of germplasm.
		The seed bank of the plant community is of great ecological importance because it can profoundly influence the vigour and species composition of the vegetation that develops after disturbance.
		These seeds have a natural dormancy feature, which allows for their long term storage with little damage to DNA, provided they are kept in a cool, dry environment.

	Pollen and Seed Bank Criteria
		Some of the seeds donated to the seed bank will be stored for protection of the species.
		There will be 8-10 seeds per package of named crosses, 10-15 seeds per packet of unknown crosses, depending on the quantity of seeds available.
		Seeds will be available from time to time of rare crosses and will be subject to availabilty.

		As an outcome, it is hoped that the community seed bank would serve as a means of conserving traditional varieties and which eventually will be managed by the farming community itself, and that the in-situ conservation centre would serve as a model from which other farming communities can learn.
		Storage structures for the seed bank are initially provided through the programmes with a beneficiary contribution and later it is maintained by the sangam.
		The seed bank is organized in such a fashion that the collection made creates a revolving fund and the community takes over the management of it in due course of time.

		The GRDC research showed the time taken to run down a resistant ryegrass seed bank influenced the initial in-crop ryegrass population and the number of years in crop before needing another ‘time out' period.
		"By contrast, with two to three years of seed set control the seed bank was exhausted to the extent that a sustained period of cropping resulted in low ryegrass numbers kept in check by competitive wheat crops," Mr Roy said.
		Preventing seed returning to the seed bank continues to be the key to successful integrated weed management programs directed at herbicide resistant ryegrass and other annual weeds.

		The primary objective of the Centre is to undertake seed collections of priority plant species throughout South Australia for the establishment of long-term seed conservation collections and development of germination and storage protocols for each species collected.
		It is however important that sufficient seed be collected, as routine viability and germination trials during the life of the collection use up a proportion of the stock.
		Once cleaned and counted, seeds are returned to the drying room, and left to equilibrate to a water moisture content of 3.5-6.5% depending on oil content within the seed.

	Millennium Seed Bank Sussex UK by Stanton Williams
		The core of the Millennium Seed Bank - officially the Wellcome Trust Millennium Building - is an underground frozen vault, which preserves the world's largest collection of seeds: three million individual seeds, already covering nearly all the UK's flora and with plans to hold 10 percent of the world's dry lands' flora.
		Above ground are laboratory buildings in which seeds are dried and prepared for freezing, and in which researchers explore how to preserve the awkward varieties of seed that are damaged by that process.
		The Millennium Seed Bank is open to the public and located within the estate of Wakehurst Place, also part of Royal Botanic Gardens of Kew.

		This led to the deduction that long-lived viable seeds existed already in that frozen soil, and eventually the study that emerged led to the first published evidence of a seed bank in the far north.
		Although we examined the seeds buried by solifluction, it is reasonable to assume that such long-term dormancy exists in permafrost not buried by solifluction as well.
		More recent seed bank studies include first-ever documentation of a seed bank in Antarctica and a study of variation in seed bank density with distance from clearcuts in the eastern deciduous forest (Landenberger, Ph.D. dissertation; in preparation).
