Have a question of your own? Reply with a written or recorded message! ---Seed Question 1--- What is a seed? Seeds are a really smart invention. They contain the plant’s offspring in a lunch box ensuring the new sprouting plant has lots of food to start off with. Botanically speaking, a seed is an embryonic plant enclosed in a protective outer covering, or seed coat. The formation of the seed is part of the process of reproduction in seed plants and requires fertilization of an ovule with pollen.

---Seed Question #9--- How are seeds used in rare plant restoration? NTBG conducts fieldwork to monitor Hawaii’s many endangered plants. Our field botanists and conservation biologists record data about how the plants are doing, control invasive weeds, and collect seeds if possible. The seeds are sent to our seed bank for conservation storageand to our
nursery for propagation. If the seeds sprout well into new plants, they can be planted out again in their natural habitat, and some are kept as back-up collections in the botanical garden. Seeds can be recollected, thus continuing the cycle. Help us continue our important work by donating to the Seeds of Hope campaign today! https://ntbg.org/support/donate/* 2

---Seed Question 2--- How does a seed know when to sprout? Some seeds are dormant and wait around for the right conditions before sprouting. In colder regions, some seeds wait for warmer spring temperatures. In Mediterranean climates some seeds like Eucalyptus and pine kernels are triggered by the smoke from forest fires clearing off competition for sun and nutrients from older plants and trees.

Our fabulous Kupu Team Member, Kelli Jones, was just presented with the Hana (service) Award! Click on the link below to check out her recent article on her experience auditing NTBG's Seed Bank. "Hana (Service) Award - - Ahuwale ka poʻokele i kau hana ia haʻi (It is through the way you serve others that your greatness will be felt). Service is of course one of the primary components of the Conservation Leadership Development Program. It is about doing something bigger than oneself to better the community, help the native plants and animals, mālama ʻāina, and ultimately make the planet a better place for every living thing. As Muhammed Ali said, “service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth”. This award is for the member who best exemplifies this quality of putting others before themselves." Congratulations Kelli! https://ntbg.org/news/ntbg-audits-the-seed-bank/* 2

NTBG continues to search for the Brighamia’s lost pollinator but we suspect that a native hawkmoth used to do the job! While most lobeliads’ scentless flowers are bird pollinated, Brighamia insignis’ tubular flowers contain nectar and scent compounds found in other plants that are pollinated by moths. Three native hawkmoth species are recorded on Kauai but one is thought to no longer exist and another hasn’t been spotted since 2000. The loss of these moths might explain why there are no recorded observations.#NationalMothWeek

July 18 - 26 is #nationalmothweek! In Limahuli Preserve, native and introduced moths play a big role in ecosystem restoration. Many endemic Hawaiian micromoths start their lives among the dense fern layer, especially in hāpuʻu (Cibotium) and ʻĒkaha (Asplenium nidus). Planting native ferns like palapalai (Microlepia strigosa) is a good way to provide a home for moth larvae!* 30

---Seed Question #7--- How long can a seed remain viable? Scientists have been able to grow a date palm (Phoenix dactylifera) from a 2000 year old seed found in an archaeological site in Israel. This area is too dry to grow date palms today, but maybe it was more lush thousands of years ago and maybe this old plant contains genes better adapted to this dry environment that could expand the opportunities for growing dates.

---Seed Question #2--- How does a seed know when to sprout? Some seeds are dormant and wait around for the right conditions before sprouting. In colder regions, some seeds wait for warmer spring temperatures. In Mediterranean climates some seeds like Eucalyptus and pine kernels are triggered by the smoke from forest fires clearing off competition for sun and nutrients from older plants and trees.

---Seed Question #8--- What is a seed bank? A seed bank is a safety deposit creating a “genetic safety net.” A famous seed bank is the Svalbard Global Seed Vault safeguarding many countries crop seeds protected from natural disasters deep inside the Norwegian mountains on the isolated island of Svalbard. NTBGs seed bank and Lab contains over 16 million seeds mostly rare and endangered Hawaiian plants ready to be used for restoration projects. Many tropical and subtropical seeds such as Hawaii’s only native palm genus, Loulu (Pritchardia species), cannot withstand conventional drying and can therefore not easily be stored in seed banks. NTBGs scientists work on breaking the code of species whose seeds cannot be stored by conventional storage methods.

---Seed Question #5--- How do plants protect their seeds? In addition to a seed coat, many seeds contain toxic compounds to avoid being eating. Castor beans (Ricinus communis), contain the deadly poison ricin, which has famously been used in many murder cases. When making castor oil from castor beans, ricin is part of the waste produced. An even more poisonous example is the red and black rosary pea (Abrus precatorius) used hazardously to make necklaces. The rosary pea is an invasive tropical weed also in Hawaii. The toxic compounds used by plants to protect seeds and other plant parts can sometimes become useful drugs to treat cancer and other illnesses when used in the right amount.

---Seed Question #3--- What are the largest and smallest seeds? The double coconut or coco de mar (Lodoicea maldivica), is the world’s largest seed being as big as 0.5 m (20 inches) and weighing 15-30 kg (33-66 lbs). The double coconut can float across an ocean and will only sprout when it is exposed to rainwater ensuring it has arrived on a new beach. At the other end of the size spectrum orchids have the worlds smallest seeds, as small as dust or a period in a sentence, just think about the black seeds inside vanilla pods.

---Seed Question #4--- How do plants spread their seeds? Seeds have many different ways of being spread around. Some seeds are spread by wind using hairs as sails or wings as helicopters or parachutes. Some plants like Impatiens can catapult seeds away. Other seeds are dependent on animals for transport either using hooks attaching to furry mammals or packing seeds into delicious fruits loved by both animals and humans. When a fruit is eaten by a bird or mammal, the seeds are passing through the stomach and can sprout where it lands in a new area. Help us continue our work.

Seeds are a really smart invention. They contain the plant’s offspring in a lunch box ensuring the new sprouting plant has lots of food to start off with. Botanically speaking, a seed is an embryonic plant enclosed in a protective outer covering, or seed coat. The formation of the seed is part of the process of reproduction in seed plants and requires fertilization of an ovule with pollen.
