Summary

Storage of olive fruits at 4 deg C resulted in a progressive decrease in the germination capacity of in vitro cultured excised embryos. To prevent this viability loss during storage a cryopreservation procedure was developed for isolated embryos. High germination percentages (70%) were obtained after rapid immersion of desiccated embryos (3-10% moisture content) in liquid nitrogen. Morphologically uniform plants were regenerated from cryopreserved embryos.
