Pouteria Tree (Pouteria coelomatica)

Aha!

I do have one on your list after all!!!

Ive been really excited about this one!

PS if I'm not mistaken P. bullata is not endangered or rare.

....ok I checked its vulnerable! not endangered I guess..but I remember lorenzi's book saying it was frequent in nature? another mistake?

The IUCN Red List categorizes species as "vulnerable" if they fall under any of these criteria (in short);
  • Major reduction in population size over time
  • Limited Geographic range
  • Limited Population size (including that of subpopulations)
  • Analysis showing probability of extinction
E.g. a species can be fairly common in nature, but still be vulnerable if the population decline is rapid.

I wonder if there exists a seed bank for endangered fruit species similar to what they have for food crops species in
Svalbard Global Seed Vault in Norway.

Something similar to Svalbard seed vault would be impossible for tropical fruit seeds, for the very simple reason that they cannot be stored, cannot be frozen. In order to have a seed bank for tropical fruit species it needs to be what they call "in situ", in other words you have to have a living orchard of endangered tropical species.  I don't think this exists anywhere, at least not for all, or even a large percentage of the endangered tropical fruit species.

Hi Oscar,

What I was thinking was that it would be possible to regenerate a plant from frozen seeds - even tropical seeds. Some Russian scientists did that with a 30,000 prehistoric seed they found in permafrost and they managed genetically to grow this plant and make it  flower too. Pretty cool I thought.

Why not just let me be the curator of the botanical collection that has all of the rare plants?

I already have 2...I think....(they could be mislabeled)...all I need is 40,000 more...lol...

Yes i know about that campion plant frozen in tundra and tissue cultured by Russian scientists. www.nytimes.com/.../new-life-from-an-arctic-flower-that-died-3200 But tropical fruit seeds are killed when frozen. In scientific language that is called recalcitrant seeds. There have been experiments done to try to sprout tropical fruit seeds after cryogenic preservation and they all failed. Tropical plant seeds don't have any need to go dormant as they don't have to overwinter. (Most also have to be kept moist or they die.) Very different from temperate seeds.

Hey Oscar,

Thanks for the info about tropical seeds. Another thing I didn't know.

A lot of people don't realize this and order seeds from me in dead of winter to be shipped to NY or Canada! Those seeds will freeze and die in transit even before reaching their destination. Also a lot of people go to Thailand or some other tropical country, bring back seeds, and then ask me why none of them sprouted?When i ask them how they treated the seeds they usually answer that they first dried them in the sun...another sure fire way to kill tropical fruit seeds, or that they waited a few months and then planted, a third way to kill them.  ::)

One of the big problems with in situ collections are the lack of gene diversity - trees take up space, so many collections are forced to either have just a few samples of several species which will not be representative of the total gene pool, or concentrate on a single or few species but then have a broader gene pool. Here in Entebbe Botanical Gardens, they have tried to secure the gene diversity of Garcinia buchananii by collecting seeds from the different forest resources around the country - I think their collection is at 12 trees or so (possibly not more than 2 trees from each sub-population), which is on the low side.

Yes, in situ collections take up space, and they also take up a lot of money. Because all these trees need to be maintained for many years. What ends up happening to many of these in situ collections is that when the government runs low on money, or real estate prices spike they cut down the trees and sell for housing. This almost happened in Miami experimental station called Chapman field. I heard it if wasn't for a strong grass roots protest that whole place would now be condominiums.

Good to hear is was saved! I am sure it happens everywhere. Here in Uganda the Botanical Garden was almost turning into a jungle because of lack of funding. However, now it is doing fair but still understaffed and the curator told me people steal the metal posts with the plant names, to sell for scrap, so they now have a poor record of the collection (apparently they have not been mapping the locations).

We have many experimental station over run with weeds here in Hawaii. People working them told me they don't even get enough funds to keep them mowed properly. One experimental station close to me was completely abandoned and closed by the government. The government here pretends to give agriculture a lot of priority, but in fact it is on the bottom of priorities they have.
