Research Abstract |
As of 31 March 2012, 33, 579 seed specimens of 5, 935 species within 225 families were collected and preserved in our laboratory. Among them, frozen 18, 211 accessions of 4, 293 species within 212 families at-30℃are probably considered to be living. This seed bank is the largest one for wild plants in Japan. In the present mission, we enlarged and entirely revised the previous version of "seed-image database of naturalized plants in Japan", and renamed it as "seed-image database of Japanese weed species", and opened it on the WEB(URL : http ://www. rib. okayama-u. ac. jp/wild/index. sjis. html).
