Title	Proceedings-- Conifer Tree Seed in the Inland Mountain West Symposium : Missoula, Montana, August 5-6, 1985.
Contributor	Shearer, Raymond C. ;<br> Intermountain Research Station (Ogden, Utah)
Description	The majority of seeds respond to storage conditions in an "orthodox" manner, in that a low seed moisture content and low temperature prolong their storage life. Deterioration can take place in the seemingly "dry" stored seeds, perhaps largely due to physico-chemical processes. The consequences of deterioration to metabolic integrity of the seeds are various, but macromolecular damage, leading to defective membranes and damaged organelles are manifestations. Storage of seeds in the imbibed state, a condition in which many seeds find themselves in "natural" storage conditions in seed-soil banks, may prolong their longevity. Hydration may allow the seeds to put into operation the repair mechanisms essential for the maintenance of their metabolic integrity. The cost, however, is the consumption of reserves to provide energy, which may eventually become depleted. Recalcitrant seeds cannot withstand drying and must be stored in a wet state. These latter seeds might persist better as seedlings, and the preservation of difficult seed species (both orthodox and recalcitrant) in seedling banks is a possible strategy.
