The zygotic embryos were excised, sterilized and subjected to four cryoprotectant treatments combined with three incubation times (12, 16 and 20 hours), totaling 12 treatments. The pre?treatment of mature zygotic embryos of AVeJBr coconut using a cryoprotectant with 1.75 mol L-of sucrose + 15% glycerol for 12 and 16 hours promoted lower embryo humidity and increased viability in electrolytic conductivity and potassium leaching tests. Samples with ten embryos are sufficient for electrolytic conductivity analysis in cryopreserved or non?cryopreserved AVeJBr coconut zygotic embryos. The 4 to 8 hour imbibition period of the embryos is promising for the electrolytic conductivity analysis of non?cryopreserved mature zygotic embryos of AVeJBr coconut.  abioquímica  aCoco  aCocos nucifera  aCoconut  acrioprotetor  amembrana celular  aRecursos genéticos1 aLEDO, A. da S.1 aALMEIDA, F.
