Abstract
This study focus on the seed storability and germinated machenism of the following 12 indicated tree species with planting or economic development potential: D. ferrea, D. philippensis, D. japonica, D. morrisiana, D. kotoensis, D. vaccinioides, Castanopsis cuspidata var. carlesii form. carlesii, Cyclobalanopsis gilva, C. longinux, C. morii, C. stenophylloide, and Pasania hancei var. ternaticupula. The objectives of this project are: 1. To investigate the germinated machenism and the conditions for germination of each species. The result will be a database for restoration and preservation of these species with economic development potential. 2. To identify the seed storage behavior of these economic species are orthodox or not, and show long-term seed storability if they are. The result could provide recommendations of preservation strategy of these species. 3. To provide seedlings for elementary research of these economic tree species.
