The energetic basis to seed longevity and storage. This project aims to quantify patterns of metabolic rate in Australian native seeds to research seed ecology, dormancy, germination, longevity and persistence in natural and artificial seed banks. The project aims to optimise and refine current respirometry technology for use with native seeds, understand the allometric relationship and patterns with seed diversity, and apply this knowledge to benefit restoration and conservation seed banks. By interpreting the energetics of seeds in a phylogenetic context, this project will develop an experimental protocol to predict the physiology and longevity, and test the viability of seeds in storage. Anticipated outcomes are improved efficiency of seed bank storage, conservation and restoration efforts.

种子寿命和储存的活力基础。该项目旨在量化澳大利亚本土种子的代谢率模式，以研究种子生态学、休眠、发芽、寿命和天然和人工种子库中的持久性。该项目旨在优化和改进当前用于本地种子的呼吸测量技术，了解种子多样性的异速生长关系和模式，并将这些知识应用于恢复和保护种子库。通过在系统发育背景下解释种子的能量学，该项目将开发一个实验方案来预测生理和寿命，并测试种子在储存中的生存能力。预期成果是提高种子库储存、养护和恢复工作的效率。
