Summary: The primary objective of this project is to conduct initial greenhouse and field trials in propagating seed from native plant species. This will allow the researchers to measure the growth and productivity of a number of different plant species and evaluate their potential as species for reclamation in the Inuvik region. The project activities include germination, growth and field trials for tw...

Summary: To re-define the classification of the Potentilla nivea L. complex using methods based on modern plant systematics. Some of the techniques and methods to be used will include chromosome counts, pollen and seed viability tests, guard cell measurements, SEM of pollin exine variations, flavonoid chemistry and numerical analyses. Attempts will be made to determine if correlations exist between morph...
