Abstract

The long-term storage of sugar beet seeds was started in 1981. Seed samples with moisture content about 7% were vacuum packed in glass containers and placed in a chamber at -15°C in Gene Bank in Radzików. Seed viability of accessions was determined by germination test before the long-term storage and in the years 1989, 2001 and 2002, according to the ISTA rules. Some of the oldest beet accessions (from 1981–1992) were evaluated for seed germination capacity. Mean germination percentage, variability coefficient (V) and germination index were evaluated. The highest germination indices after 20 years of long-term storage were found for the breeding material M-105 2x (172.0) and for the Dieckmann 7920 cultivar (130.6) after 19 years. The analysis of the results confirmed efficiency of the applied method of long-term storage. All the tested materials revealed good germination though differences in seed germination capacity were observed between the accessions.
