dc.description.abstractThe most convenient methods of ex-situ conservation of plant germplasm is by storage of seeds under conditions which maintain its viability. In case of orthodox seeds, this can be chieved by storing it in the dry state under ambient temperature and low relative humidity but desiccation ensitive nature of recalcitrant species act as a hurdle for its storage. Lophopetalum wightianum is an important riparian tree with commercial prospects and very little information is available egarding the storability of seeds. To overcome this problem investigation on seed storage echnique and germination of L. wightianum was conducted by collecting the seeds from a natural opulation of the species and storing the seeds in three different containers for four storage periods fter imposing the seven different storage chemical treatments on seeds. The study reveals that mong the different storage containers, the earthen pot was found to be the best storage container, as it could store the seeds and maintain the viability up to two months with maximum ermination of 38.23 per cent. Different chemical treatments applied to the seeds helped to maintain the seed viability for a longer period (90 Days), in that seeds treated with Chlorpyriphos (0.89 %) xhibited maximum (30.31 %) germination but there was a gradual decrease in germination with an increase in storage period. Among all the combination of treatments, seeds stored in an earthen pot (M1) treated with Carbendazim (0.25 %) + Chlorpyriphos (0.89 %) (T5) stored for 60 days (S3) exhibited maximum (64.61 %) germination.en_US
