Viability Assessment of Genipa americana L. (Rubiaceae) Embryonic Axes after Cryopreservation Using In Vitro Culture

Figure 4

Seedlings obtained from G. americana L. embryonic axes after 30 days of growth in vitro. Normal seedlings obtained from embryonic axis that was desiccated to approximately 13% of the initial mc (a) or embryonic axis that was desiccated and cryopreserved in liquid nitrogen (b). Abnormal seedlings showing desiccation damage to the root system (c) and freezing damage to the apical meristem (d).
