We invite you to listen to Prof. Ewelina Ratajczak’s lecture entitled “Will stressed seeds provide us with a better future?"
We are observing rapid climate changes that cause stress to trees. This is due to the fact that they induce an oxidative stress condition, which lowers the metabolic activity of plant cells. Stressed trees produce stressed seeds, whose viability is reduced. Storing seeds in a way that preserves their viability becomes crucial for safeguarding the genetic resources of tree species and protecting biodiversity in commercial forests.
