Increasing the germination percentage of a declining native orchid (Himantoglossum adriaticum) by pollen transfer and outbreeding between populations

Abstract: The declining native orchid Himantoglossum adriaticum H. Baumann is a European endemic of priority interest (92/43/ EEC, Annex II). Northern Italian populations of H. adriaticum are small and isolated, with depressed seed set. Given the important implications for plant population conservation, we tested the hypothesis that artificial pollen transfer (hand-pollination) and outbreeding between populations increases fruit set and seed germination percentage.• The background fruit set and in vitro germination rate… Show more

“…At regional level (Buffa et al 2016) the species is classified as NT (Near Threatened), but its status worsens in lowland areas. In Northern Italy, it is mostly found in dry grasslands and nearby ecotonal meso-xeric scrubland/woodland patches (Slaviero et al 2016;Del Vecchio et al 2019).…”
