is critical to sustainable crop production and safeguards food and nutrition security (FAO 2014). A means for accomplishing this goal is the formation and support of genebanks in which shortand longterm low temperature conservation of embryonic germplasm is realised under controlled standard conditions (Li and Pritchard 2009). An essential task for managing stored germplasm is to maximise seed longevity and keep operational costs and logistics manageable through monitoring seed deterioration (Engels and Visser 2003). Thus, one of the main purposes in long-term conservation in genebanks is to preserve seed viability and usability after low temperature storage and subsequent use as sowing material (Desheva 2016, van Treuren et al. 2018). Generally, loss of germination and seedling vigour results from the aging effect of low temperature stress. As a common consequence of most abiotic stresses, an imbalance arises between the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the scavenging capacity of the antioxidant defense system (Foyer and Noctor 2000, Jajic et al. 2015). Excessive ROS accumulation causes lipid peroxidation, and eventually, oxidative damage leads to accelerated leaf senescence (Sade et al. 2018). Cytokinins (CKs) are phytohormones that regulate many aspects of plant aerial and subterranean organ development and growth (Werner and Schmulling 2009) but also participate in the responses to biotic and abiotic stress (Hai et al. 2020). CKs reduce ROS accumulation either through increasing the activity of antioxidant enzymes or by inhibiting ROS formation (Hönig et al. 2018). Cytokinin action is also connected with affecting grain number and size (Jameson and Song 2016) and causing delayed senescence (Hönig et al. 2018). Endogenous CK levels could be elevated via enhancing their biosynthesis by isopentenyl transferase (IPT) or via decreasing their Field priming with cytokinins enhances seed viability of wheat after low temperature storage
