Important Traits of Old Seed
As seeds age, they lose viability and lustre. Old seeds also lose the ability to resist fungal infections. Seeds of old age also leak more substances than those of young plants. There is some evidence that aging may also affect the integrity of cell membranes. Old seeds are metabolically less active than their younger counterparts. The seed's ability to survive and reproduce is greatly reduced. Here are Learn More of old seed. This article will discuss some of these traits.

Date palm

Scientists have discovered how to grow date palms from old seed. Old Seed are tough, adapted for the desert, and are particularly resistant to drying out. The seeds came from near the Dead Sea, the lowest place on Earth. Their seeds also survived because of the dense atmosphere that protects them from cosmic radiation. Scientists hope to grow this type of palm again by pollinating females with males. They hope to develop new varieties of date palms to produce the ancient fruit.

The genetic relationships between the ancient and modern date palms indicate that they were likely derived from the same external sources as modern cultivars. Some of them show genetic affinities to cultivars in West Asia and North Africa. This is most likely the result of ancient dispersals of western genotypes into the Southern Levant. The genetic affinities also suggest that the two species were domesticated in the same area around 2000 BCE.

Methuselah's seed

Scientists have recently successfully germinated an ancient seed known as Methuselah's seed. This tree is named after the oldest recorded person in the Bible, Methuselah. Scientists have previously considered the seed to be too old to germinate, and have been able to successfully grow it in the lab. Scientists have also succeeded in growing the seeds from other ancient seeds. Among other achievements, the ancient seed sprouting is the oldest one of its kind in the world.

The researchers have grown a sapling from a seed from the site of the ancient city of Masada. This seed is around 2,000 years old, and might one day be used to restore ancient biblical trees. "We are so excited to see this seed germinating, because we can potentially restore some of the biblical trees," says Sarah Sallon, a researcher at the Hadassah Medical Centre in Jerusalem.

Siniy

A dark pink potato leaf tomato known as Siniy grew on my garden this year. It was a freebie I received from Association Kokopelli. Unfortunately, the seed was well past its best before date. It was 1998. That's too old to plant, but I'm determined to grow a healthy crop this year. If you're interested in growing a new tomato variety, we'd love to hear from you!

Estonian potato-leaf tomato

The dark pink potato-leaf tomato, known as Siniy, is a rare variety that I first tried when I received a packet of out-of-date seed from Association Kokopelli. The packet dates back to 1998. The fruit is small, round, and has a sweet, spicy taste. The variety also is very cold-tolerant and produces fruit early in the summer. While it is difficult to grow from seed, it can be very rewarding if you know how to care for it.

The difference between the regular tomato leaf and the potato-leaf tomato is the shape of the leaves. Regular tomato leaves have multiple lobes, while potato-leaf tomatoes have flat leaves without many lobes or serrations. These differences make it a highly unique tomato variety. While it's easy to see why potato-leaf tomatoes are favored, the main difference between the two types is their shape.
