Spore storage for fern species
Fern spore viability after storage under different conditions is investigated by Quintanilla et al. (pp. 461-467). In the markedly hygrophilous species Culcita macrocarpa and Woodwardia radicans, only wet storage at 5 or 20 degrees C maintains viability. However, in the three Dryopteris species considered, dry storage at -20, 5 or 20 degrees C was also effective.
