Hello,
I am wondering about the effects of storing tropical and subtropical crop
seeds at below freezing temperatures... I assume that using special
cryogenic technologies anything can be frozen including tissue culture
specimens... but using a low tech home freezer will any harm occur to
maize, curcurbits, solanaceae seeds stored below 0 C... if so what are
the best conditions for storing these seeds ?
