Abstract
The preservation of genetic resources in trees has been carried out in the field by the maintenance of adult trees. This method is convenient in investigating morphological characters of the species whenever necessary, and also for the cross pollinations in breeding experiment. However, this method requires plenty of space, labour and expense. Furthermore, these stock trees in the field are amenable to diseases, pests or disasters, which may lead to the loss of germplasm. Therefore, to secure the maintenance of genetic resources of trees, storage of pollen grains is effective (Akihama et al. 1978, 1979).
