Resumen
Descripción
A study was conducted to categorize harvest stage,
maximun dry weigth and tolerance to desiccation at low
temperature storage of seeds of the promising species “andean
blueberry”, Vaccinium meridionale Swartz. The aim was to
determine the long term conservation possibility of a duplicate
of the current Colombian Andean Highland field collection in
cool storage rooms, as well as that of newly collected local
populations from the mentioned highland region, which are in
danger of genetic erosion due to human intervention and the
ongoing global climate change. Both maximum dry weight
and the highest germination percentages were observed to
be associated in seeds extracted from deep purple (fully ripe)
berries. The seeds exhibited orthodox storage behavior, which
indicates the possibility for long-term cold storage of a duplicate
of the current metapopulation of the species in the country.
