Native Tissue Culture and Seed Storage by Alvin Yoshinaga

Native Tissue Culture and Seed Storage Since 1992, Lyon Arboretum's research emphasis on conservation biology has led to the development of the Hawaiian Rare Plant Program (HRPP), which focuses on the rescue and recovery of Hawai‛i's most critically endangered plants. The HRPP assists in the prevention of further extinction of Hawaii's native plants by providing a cooperatively administered and fully integrated ex situ propagation and germplasm storage facility. To date, the in vitro micropropagation and seed storage laboratories and greenhouse facility has successfully grown and stored more than 300 of the 1400+ native Hawaiian plant taxa, through micropropagation, seed germination research and conventional horticultural methods. The Hawaiian Rare Plant Program is the only one of its kind in the State of Hawai‛i, and holds Hawai‛i's largest and most diverse collection of native Hawaiian plant taxa.
