摘要：

Zheng et al.1 pointed out the potential advantages of ‘ultra-dry’ (less than 5% moisture content) seed storage for the long-term genetic conservation of plants, based largely on their studies of seed vigour. Here we support their suggestion, using our data from several years ago which showed that ultra-dried seeds have increased survival periods2.
