Plants produced by embryo rescue were subject to ½MS culture medium supplemented with the carbohydrates sucrose, mannitol, and sorbitol at 1, 2, and 3% under 20 and 25±2ºC. After 12 months, the temperature of 20°C reduced plant growth. Sucrose is the most appropriate carbohydrate for aintaining the quality of the plants, whereas mannitol and sorbitol result in a reduced plant survival. aArecaceae aplant genetic resources aElaeis guineensis aElaeis oleifera1 aPEREIRA, J.
