However, these flowers did not produce viable seeds.It became apparent that the hardening-off stage was of crucial importance to a successful micropropagation protocol. The Plant List (2010). sinonimas. Image of Colobanthus quitensis. The seeds of C. apetalus were characterized by the highest germination capacity and the highest germination rate, whereas C. quitensis seedlings were characterized by the most favorable growth and development. There were no UV-BBE treatment effects on seedling survivorship over the course of the season and overwinter survivorship averaged 12%. The seed banks of Colobanthus quitensis and Deschampsia antarctica, the only two vascular plants native to Antarctica, were assayed by collecting soils from two sites near Palmer Station, Antarctica, and germinating seeds in a laboratory germination facility.
