Abstract
Information on the longevity of true seed from the tuber-bearing and closely related non-tuber-bearing Solanums was compiled from data obtained by the U.S. Inter-Regional Potato Introduction Project (IR-1), Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin. Seed was stored at 1–3°C after drying to about5% moisture content. Several species exhibited high percentages of germination after 20 to 28 years of storage. Many other species also demonstrated no major decrease in germination during storage periods of 8 to 20 years. For some species germination data were erratic and no conclusions could be made as to the length of time their seeds could be stored and still remain viable
