ABSTRACT:
Germinants of conifer somatic embryos can be held for periods of up to several weeks in water in order to accumulate them for potting. Surprisingly, germinants held at temperatures near freezing showed superior survival after potting and twenty weeks greenhouse growth when compared to those potted immediately after removal from the germination medium. It was also found useful to store the germinants in a high humidity environment or even on the germination medium under cold conditions.
