We kindly invite you to listen to the workshop led by Prof. Paweł Chmielarz, Dr. Mikołaj K. Wawrzyniak and Dr. Jan Suszka, titled “A kitchen full of seeds and agar.”

Seeds have developed a range of diverse traits that regulate their germination. During the workshop, we will present research methods and tests that enable proper storage of woody species seeds under controlled conditions and allow for a closer examination of the seed germination process and seedling growth. We will also demonstrate how to break seeds out of a deep physiological dormancy. Furthermore, we will introduce modern approaches to preserving genetic resources in the form of seeds. The results of our research are applied in forestry practice and in gene banks.
