SELECTION OF CRYOPROTECTORS FOR FREEZING <i>LINUM USITATISSIMUM</i> SEEDS IN LIQUID NITROGEN
Cryopreservation of plant seeds is the modern and the most optimal method of storage, allowing preserving their sowing qualities as much as possible. The article analyses the effect of containers, defrosting conditions and cryoprotectants on germination and germination energy of the medicinal plant of Linum usitatissimum . According to the results of the study, the optimal packaging is plastic; the best defrosting mode is slow; the best cryoprotectants are sucrose at a concentration of 10%. Obtained data can be used to organize cryogenic storage of medicinal seed material
