Abstract

A cryopreservation method developed earlier was modified for freezing of calli derived from mature embryos of four spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) pure lines. The effects of particular stages of cryopreservation protocol on water content, number of calli recovering growth, and rate of morphogenesis were analyzed. Regrowth was observed in 90.5–100% of calli after dehydration and in 93.3–100% after freezing-thawing. Dehydration, but not freeze-thawing significantly decreased the frequency of morphogenetic variation.
