Author(s) : STYLES E. D.
Type of article: Article
Summary
GERMINATION PERCENTAGES OF 24 SPECIES OF SEEDS STORED IN LIQUID NITROGEN FOR 600 DAYS WERE COMPARED WITH THOSE STORED AT 278 K (5 DEG C) IN SEALED CONTAINERS. THERE WERE NO OBVIOUS CHANGES IN GERMINATION CAUSED EITHER BY THE FREEZING AND THAWING PROCESS, OR BY THE 600-DAY STORAGE IN LIQUID NITROGEN. EASE OF PROCEDURE, COSTS, AND POSSIBLE APPLICATION TO PLANT BREEDERS AND GENETICISTS ARE DISCUSSED.
