Summary
Coffee (Coffea liberica Bull. ex Hiern) seeds can be successfully cryopreserved after desiccating them to a moisture content of 16.7% (53.3% survival). It was observed that coffee seeds with endocarp survived better than those without it. Vigna sesquipedalis L. seeds survived cryopreservation (more than 90% survival) at a moisture content of around 9% and 6.7-10.5% respectively.
