    Abstract:
    Alternating temperature (22°C / -1°C) pretreatments were effective for increasing cold hardiness and recovery of cryopreserved meristems. Combining low temperature pretreatment with abscisic acid (ABA) or sucrose treatments reduced the time required for optimal cold hardiness of meristems. Desiccation tolerance was directly correlated with increased cold hardiness and recovery of...
