About a month ago, a team of journalists in Haiti released a nine-article study of a massive seed distribution that took place after the earthquake last year.
It approves of this place, which resembles a massive seed hull.
An ability to survive on hosts year-round may explain why these species have less demand for a massive seed set and, thus, are able to survive the cost of low fecundity to reap the benefits of self-incompatibility.
In 2012, ICARDA was headquartered in Aleppo, Syria, where it housed its massive seed collection.
Massive losses of seeds in seed banks occur because of seed aging, failure of seed germination, predation, diseases, and death of seeds.

In our experience with cultivating C. chilensis, it is incapable of producing selfed seed (from over 100 hand-pollinations), whereas most Cuscuta species readily produce massive quantities of selfed seed without assistance.
