Recovery of potato apices after several years of storage in liquid nitrogen
After several years storage in liquid nitrogen, shoot tips from a random sample of 51 varieties were thawed and the survival and shoot regeneration percentages compared to those measured immediately after freezing. There were no major changes in either survival or recovery of frozen apices. Data presented are not the outcome of a systematic experiment but from that accumulated during our work from 1992 to 1999.

CryoLetters is a bimonthly international journal for low temperature sciences, including cryobiology, cryopreservation or vitrification of cells and tissues, chemical and physical aspects of freezing and drying, and studies involving ecology of cold environments, and cold adaptation
The journal publishes original research reports, authoritative reviews, technical developments and commissioned book reviews of studies of the effects produced by low temperatures on a wide variety of scientific and technical processes, or those involving low temperature techniques in the investigation of physical, chemical, biological and ecological problems.
