Type of article: Article

Summary

EMBRYO AXES OF 18 SPECIES IN 7 GENERA OF TEMPERATE TREES WITH LARGE RECALCITRANT OR SUBORTHODOX SEEDS WERE TESTED FOR THEIR ABILITY TO SURVIVE DESICCATION AND DRY-FREEZING. THE RESULTS INDICATE THAT CRYOSTORAGE SHOULD BE POSSIBLE FOR A NUMBER OF DIFFICULT-TO-STORE ONES AND COULD SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF SPACE NEEDED FOR GERMPLASM PRESERVATION IN THESE SPECIES.
