Seed longevity and storage

Seed ecology, biodiversity conservation and restoration

Following the meetings of seed ecology in Rhodes in 2004， in Perth in 2007， and in Salt Lake City in 2010， the 4th International Society for Seed Science Meeting on Seeds and the Environment is held in Shenyang， China， June 22 -26， 2013.
　　The theme of the meeting is “Seeds and Future“. Participants from different countries submit their extended abstracts for oral and poster presentations in various aspects as 1） evolutionary seed ecology， 2） seed dispersal， 3） seed bank， 4） seed germination and dormancy， 5） seed longevity and storage， and 6） seed ecology， biodiversity conservation and restoration. After some editing is made， the abstracts are published as this volume. A few abstracts are not included due to different reasons.
