One of the roles of my place of employment (Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden) is to be a seed bank for California natives. These seeds are stored at about -80C, I believe. We have had no success in germinating orchid seeds that have been stored at this temperature.
Does anyone out there know of any work done with orchid seed viability, particularly long-term and/or of seeds stored at very low temps? Thanks!
