  abstract = {{I}n this paper, the long term observation of plants originating from control and cryopreserved stabilized polyembryonic cultures ({SPC}s) of six elite oil palm clones was carried out. {S}urvival of plantlets in the nursery was monitored, then a series of vegetative and floral characteristics of over 440 palms were studied for up to 12 years after field transfer in {C}ote d'{I}voire. {T}he six clones tested showed an average recovery of 34% after freezing in liquid nitrogen. {T}he average survival in the nursery of plantlets originating from pretreated and dehydrated and from cryopreserved {SPC}s was higher than that of control {SPC}s. {P}alm trees originating from control {SPC}s were found to flower earlier than those originating from pretreated and dehydrated and from cryopreserved {SPC}s. {T}his delay in flowering disappeared progressively and all palms had flowered 3 years after planting regardless of the {SPC} treatment. {A}bnormal palms were observed in one clone only. {W}ith this clone, the percentage of abnormal palms originating from cryopreserved {SPC}s was significantly lower (5%) than that measured on palms originating from control {SPC}s (29%).},
