  abstract = {{M}any publications describe cryopreservation techniques but only a few studies have focused on the biochemical and physiological changes occurring in plants regenerated from seeds exposed to liquid nitrogen. {T}his paper aims at describing the effect of common bean seed cryostorage on mineral nutrition of young plantlets. {T}he following elements were measured on leaves of 10-day-old plantlets from non-cryopreserved and cryopreserved seeds: {A}l, {B}, {B}a, {C}a, {C}d, {C}o, {C}r, {C}u, {F}e, {K}, {M}g, {M}n, {N}a, {N}i, {P}, {S}, {S}e, {S}r and {Z}n. {A}t 10 days after sowing, both treatments (control and cryopreserved seeds) showed 100% seed germination without any visual phenotypic difference. {H}owever, contents of several elements in the leaves were different. {E}xposure of seeds to liquid nitrogen decreased {C}u, {C}d and {N}a uptake and increased absorption of {B} and {A}l. {F}urther studies are required to understand the mechanisms underlying the relationship between seed exposure to liquid nitrogen and mineral nutrition during the early stages of plantlet growth.},
