Summary

Culture and cryopreservation of hazelnut embryonic axes is complicated by decreased shoot production in axes from seed stored for even a short time. Shoot growth of axes from seed stored for four months increased from 33 to 94% when seeds were stratified for two weeks before axis removal. Axes from stratified-stored seed were dried to 8% moisture under laminar flow and cryopreserved with resulting 85% viability and 70% shoot growth rates, while only 30% of unstratified axes produced shoots.
