Domestication of native plant species for seed production and planting in Arctic and sub‐arctic Alaska
Introduction Much of the Alaska landmass is covered by treeless vegetation regions referred to as tundra or maritime tundra (Viereck & Little,1972).Most of the tundra areas fall on the cold side of the 10℃ July isotherm line and is classified as arctic.The most unique grassland or tundra area in Alaska is the Aleutian Island archipelago. The need for native seed is driven by the regulations requiring surface disturbances to be restored with native species. Developing a commercial source of native species seed is the only viable solution to the availability dilemma. In Alaska the state government took on the responsibility for initial supply development in part because the actual market for the seed is too small for private sector involvement. The Alaska Plant Materials Centers ( APMC) mission is to encourage an in‐state native seed industry.
