Type of article: Article

Summary

Survival of clumps of oil palm somatic embryos stored at -12 and -80 deg C was recorded during a 6-month storage period in comparison with that of control clumps cryopreserved in liquid nitrogen. Non-desiccated clumps of embryos did not withstand one month of storage at -12 deg C, and only 6% of clumps placed at -80 deg C survived after 3 months if they had been briefly immersed in liquid nitrogen before the storage period. Other results are given.
