Ferns produce diploid spores Spores are adapted for surviving extended periods of time.

Seeds can survive even longer periods of time when conditions become unfavorable
. The most recent record (June 2005) is the seed of a date palm (Phoenix dactylifera) that was discovered during an archaeological excavation at King Herod's Palace on Mount Masada near the Dead Sea. Nicknamed "Methuselah" the palm that sprouted from this ancient seed has been Carbon-dated at about 2,000 years old. Since date palms are dioecious, it is not known whether the palm is male or female. Another seed viability record is the Asian water lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) in which a seed from China was successfully germinated after 1,200 years. But the world's record is the seed of an Arctic lupine (Lupinus arcticus) that was excavated from a lemming burrow in frozen Arctic tundra. The seed germinated and flowered after an estimated 10,000 years of dormancy. The latter record was not mentioned in the MSNBC Online Technology & Science article about a 2,000-year-old date palm seed, so perhaps the 10,000-year-old Arctic lupine is questionable.
