Re: CULT: germination traits and selection

From: "J.F. Hensler" <hensler@povn.com>



I'd like some feedback on an odd thought.............

(This is almost pure speculation, so I won't hold anyone to trying to prove any of this!)

If it's true that seeds from irises native to areas that don't suffer frost DON'T need stratification to germinate, might it be a hint that iris seeds from plants from northern climes which DO germinate without chilling might lead to plants more adapted to the hot parts of the country?

Don't know if it makes any difference, but we're talking species and species crosses here. :)

Thanks,
Christy Hensler
