At 0.20 g H2O g/dw, 53% of #C. arabica$ seeds germined after direct immersion in LN (rapid cooling, 200°C/min), but none of them developed into normal seedlings. By contrast, in #C. costatifructa$, #C. racemosa$ and #C. sessiliflora$, when seeds were dehydrated to the optimal water content (0.19, 0.28 and 0.31 g H2O g/dw, respectively), the percentages of seeds which developed into normal seedlings after LN exposure were 26, 78 and 31% of the desiccation control, respectively. Normal seedlings could be recovered from cryopreserved #C. arabica$ seeds only if they were desiccated to 0.20 g H2O g/dw and precooled slowly to -50°C prior to immersion in LN. Precooling seeds at 2°C/min allowed 25% of seeds to develop into normal seedlings. The thawing rate had no effect on the survival of cryopreserved #C. arabica$ seeds. In all cryopreservation experiments, the total germination did not reflect the percentage of seeds which developed into normal seedlings. Examination of excised embryos indicated a partial explanation of this difference since only the shoot apex was destroyed in abnormal embryos, whereas the hypocotyl and radicle were normal.
