VIABILITY AND DYNAMICS OF GERMINATING CAPACITY IN APPLE SEEDS DURING CRYOPRESERVATION

G.F. Safina, M.N. Petrova

The influence of different techniques of freezing-thaw during seed cryopreservation on their viability and dynamics of germinating capacity was investigated in different apple crops. It was shown, that moisture conditions (5-6 %), recommended for storage of the apple seeds of investigated species and varieties, permit to stand smoothly the freezing-thaw procedure without decreasing of viability.

Key words: apple seeds, cryopreservation, humidity, viability, germination dynamics.
