description Background and aims: Ferns are sensitive to environmental changes, inhabiting ecosystems susceptible to degradation. Spore banks and in vitro spore culture are useful tools employed in their conservation. The objective was to test the ability of the spores to germinate after being stored in a freezer and to develop gametophytes and sporophytes, in native fern species of genera Amauropelta, Blechnum and Physematium. M&M: Spores of A. argentina, B. auriculatum and P. montevidensis were stored at -20 ºC in dry conditions for 6 and 12 months. They were sown in vitro in Dyer liquid medium and incubated in a growth chamber. The means of germination percentages were calculated and a one-way Student’s t-test was employed. Gametophyte and sporophyte development was registered under light and stereoscopic microscopes. Results: Depending on the species, statistical differences were recorded in germination percentages (viability) between both storage periods. The spores of A. argentina kept in freezer for 12 months completely lost viability. In B. auriculatum, viability decreased over time, and in P. montevidensis it remained constant. Gametophytes and sporophytes developed in all cultures; except in A. argentina spores, with 12 months in freezer. Conclusions: The viability of the spores under dry storage at low temperature could be conditioned by the ecological requirements of the species. Protocols used for spore storage and culture allowed obtaining gametophytes and sporophytes in trials.

Introducción y objetivos: Los helechos son sensibles a cambios ambientales, habitando en ecosistemas susceptibles a degradación. Los bancos de esporas y el cultivo in vitro son herramientas útiles para su conservación. El objetivo fue probar la capacidad de las esporas para germinar luego del almacenamiento en freezer y de desarrollar gametofitos y esporofitos, en especies de helechos nativos de los géneros Amauropelta, Blechnum y Physematium. M&M: Esporas  de A. argentina, B. auriculatum y P. montevidensis se almacenaron deshidratadas a -20 ºC  durante 6 y 12 meses. Se sembraron in vitro en medio Dyer líquido y se incubaron en estufa. Se calcularon las medias de los porcentajes de germinación y se empleó una prueba t Student unidireccional. El desarrollo de gametofitos y esporofitos fue registrado con microscopio óptico y lupa. Resultados: Se registraron diferencias estadísticas en los porcentajes de germinación (viabilidad) entre ambos períodos de almacenamiento. Las esporas de A. argentina mantenidas durante 12 meses en freezer perdieron completamente la viabilidad. En B. auriculatum, la viabilidad disminuyó con el tiempo y en P. montevidensis que permaneció constante. Se desarrollaron gametofitos y esporofitos en todos los cultivos; excepto en A. argentina almacenadas 12 meses en freezer. Conclusiones: La viabilidad de esporas almacenadas  deshidratadas a baja temperatura podría estar condicionada por los requerimientos ecológicos de las especies. Los protocolos utilizados para el almacenamiento y cultivo de esporas permitieron obtener gametofitos y esporofitos en todos los ensayos.
