Summary

An histo-cytological study was performed on apices of in vitro plantlets of date palm submitted to a cryopreservation process. After a 24-hour preculture on standard medium, cells, which survived in liquid nitrogen showed characteristics of cells under osmotic stress. The first cell divisions were observed 4 days after thawing. In some samples, the cell multiplication first gave rise to a callus. Each surviving meristem regenerated a single shoot within two to three months after thawing.
