Abstract
In the present work, excised embryonic axes of almond desiccated to be tween 10 to 4% moisture could survive liquid nitrogen exposure with pe rcentage viability ranging from 100 to 40. The highest survival after cryopreservation was obtained for axes desiccated to about 7% moisture when normal healthy shoots and roots emerged from 66% of surviving ax es. Desiccation below 7% moisture caused a decline in percentage viabi lity and rate of regrowth.
