Shevchenko N, Miroshnichenko T, Mozgovska A, Bashtan N, Kovalenko G, Ivchenko T. Does Cryopreservation Improve the Quality of Tomato Seeds?. Biol Life Sci Forum. 2021. 11(1): 6. Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is one of the vegetables with world economic importance. However, a large number of viruses that damage tomato plants can lead to enormous crop losses. In our work, we investigated the effect of liquid nitrogen on the growth and development of plants of three tomato cultivars in the field. An increase in the total and marketable yields of the plants grown from cryopreserved seeds was obtained. The height of the plants and the number of internodes for all the cultivars did not change significantly. A decrease in the total number of viral and fungal plants was observed for two cultivars. |
