Fungi on Eastern White Pine Seeds With High Moisture Content Can Survive Ultralow Temperatures

Inoculated fungi-Fusarium sporotrichoides Sherb and Mucor hiemalis Wehmer-on eastern white pine (Pinus strobus L.) seeds with high moisture content survived well after 35 days of storage at -18, - 80, -145, and -196 °C. This shows that storing tree seeds at ultralow temperatures will not eliminate fungal pathogens. Tree Planters' Notes 40(4) :34-36; 1989.
