<I>IN VITRO</I> STORAGE OF ZYGOTIC EMBRYO OF RUBBER (<I>HEVEA BRASILIENSIS</I> MUELL ARG.) AT LOW TEMPERATURE
Main Article Content
Abstract
Zygotic embryos of local cultivar were stored on Murashige & Skoog (MS) free medium supplemented with 3% sucrose and 2 kinds of cryoprotectants, Mannitol and Sorbitol. The cultures were maintained under 2,000 lux illumination, 14 hour photoperiod at 10 ± 2 °C. By this method, it was found that zygotic embryos could be stored on those media for 6 weeks. Between the two cryoprotectants tested, Mannitol gave the highest percent germination after storage significantly different from that obtained on the medium with Sorbitol. Percent germination after on Mannitol and Sorbitol were 72.96 and 57.00, respectively.
