Welcome to the Tasmanian Seed Conservation Centre's Germination Database.
The germination database holds data generated through germination testing
on seeds held in our collections. Tests have mostly been run by the TSCC
but data has also been generated from tests run by the
RBG Kew's Seed
Conservation Department and also the
University of Tasmania's School of Plant Sciences.
As the Seedbank's work is focused on the preservation of Tasmania's wild
flora the database holds little information on the germination behaviour
of cultivated garden plants.
The database currently holds 6924
completed germination tests
conducted on 1036
of collections, representing 829
different taxa.
As the Seedbank is still in its infancy species coverage is still rather
narrow but this will naturally increase with time.
Currently you can search for germination data either through plant family
or genus. Simply select a family or genus you are interested in and press
the report button next to it. This will generate a PDF file for downloading.
