Resumo
The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of cryoprotective solution (PVS2) combined with phloroglucinol for the cryopreservation of seeds of two orchid species, Encyclia cordigera and Epidendrum ciliare. Seeds of Encyclia cordigera had 91.03% initial viability and 91.99% germination. The treatment of the seeds with PVS2 at 0°C with 1% phloroglucinol for 60 min returned 93.79% viability and 91.01% germination after recovery from LN, consequently resulting in faster development of protocorms. For Epidendrum ciliare, seed viability was 85.65% and germination was 85.90%. Seed exposure to the PVS2 at 0°C with 1% phloroglucinol for 180 min showed viability of 39.23% and germination of 37.88%. Despite lower germination, 78.90% of the protocorms reached stage P3 of development, when evaluated 45 days after sowing, not significantly different from the control 1, and showed normal development. These results indicate that PVS2 cryoprotective solution is efficient when combined with phloroglucinol for the cryopreservation and successful recovery of seeds of Encyclia cordigera and Epidendrum ciliare. The present study also indicates that response to cryopreservation and success of recovery after cold storage is species-specific and requires adjustments in exposure time to PVS2 at 0°C prior to immersion in LN.
