  abstract = {{W}e recorded the crypreservation effects (direct immersion) on various parameters of early germination stages of maize seeds (0, 7 and 14 days). {P}ercentages of germination; fresh mass of different seedling parts; levels of chlorophyll pigments (a, b); carotenoids; malondialdehyde; other aldehydes; phenolics (cell wall-linked, free) and proteins were determined. {V}arious statistically significant effects of seed exposure to liquid nitrogen ({LN}) were recorded. {M}aize seeds did not seem to be affected by {LN} exposure either visually or regarding fresh weight or germination rate. {H}owever, delayed growth was observed in seedlings recovered from cryopreserved seeds. {T}his trend indicated an increase in the effect of seed cryopreservation on growing plants. {T}he most significant effects of {LN} exposure were recorded in the combined fresh weight of stems and leaves at day 7 of germination and in fresh weights of roots, stems and leaves at day 14. {A}t the biochemical level, numerous indicators varied following {LN} exposure, but the most significant effects were recorded in carotenoids, malondialdehyde and other aldehyde contents. {LN} exposure modified 50.0% of indicators in cotyledons, 48.1% in stems and leaves, 38.8% in roots and 11.1% in seeds. {LN} storage modified 11.1% of the variables measured at day 0 of germination, 37.0% at day 7, and 52.7% at day 14. {F}ield performance of cryostored seed-derived plants should be evaluated to measure the durability of the changes observed.},
