Desiccation and the survival of Aesculus, Castanea, and Quercus embryo axes through cryopreservation.
Author(s) : PENCE V. C.
Type of article: Article
Summary
Isolated embryo axes of Aesculus (horse-chestnut tree), Castanea (chestnut tree), and Quercus (oak tree) were cultured after increasing periods of desiccation. A portion of the dried axes at each harvest were also frozen in liquid nitrogen before culture. In all cases, there was a level of desiccation after which viability decreased, although some desiccation was necessary for the survival of axes through freezing. Thus, for all species tested, there was a window of desiccation during which survival through freezing was maximized.
