Cold-hardening mother plants for 3 weeks at 5°C improved regrowth rate and pattern of shoot tips whatever the cryopreservation technique employed. Increasing the time during which mother-plants were maintained on standard medium without subculture before sampling of apices decreased the water content of shoot tips from about 85-88% to 63-66% (fresh weight basis) and increased regrowth rate and pattern whatever the cryopreservation technique employed. The best results (up to 86% regrowth after cryopreservation without any callusing) were obtained with the encapsulation-dehydration technique. Using apices sampled on mother-plants which had not been subcultured for 26 weeks allowed to reduce the duration of the sucrose pregrowth treatment of encapsulated apcies, thus simplyfying the protocol. This simplified encapsulation-dehydration protocol was successfully applied to 11 out of the 12 cultivars tested. (Résumé d'auteur) %$ 084VITRO ; 076AMEPLA02
