Abstract
Freeze-thaw-induced disruption and disorganization of tomato fruit ultrastructure were reduced by immersing the tissue in hypertonic sucrose solution before freezing. Other “protective” agents similarly used appeared less effective. The results with sucrose, while not indicative of viability in this very frost-sensitive tissue, are discussed from the standpoint of plasmolytic and other possible protective mechanisms.
