Main conclusion Reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced oxidative stress results in low
success or even total failure of cryopreservation. Better understanding of how the plant …

Cryopreservation is a safe approach for the long-term preservation of plant genetic
resources that complements traditional field and in vitro germplasm collections. There are …

Cryopreservation is considered an ideal strategy for the long-term preservation of plant
genetic resources. Significant progress was achieved over the past several decades …

Key message Oxidative stress and apoptosis-like programmed cell death, induced in part by
H 2 O 2, are two key factors that damage cells during plant cryopreservation. Their inhibition …

Plant cryopreservation involves the storage of plant tissues (usually seed or shoot tips) in
liquid nitrogen (LN) at-196 C or in the vapour phase of LN at-135 C in such a way that the …

Potato is one of the most important crops worldwide. Genetic resources of potato (Solanum
tuberosum L. ssp. tuberosum) and related cultivated species are conserved through storage …

There is a pressing need for practical and successful conservation efforts to establish long-
term germplasm collections of recalcitrant and tropical species, given the challenge and …

Clonal propagation of conifers is achieved mostly by rooting of cuttings, organogenesis and
somatic embryogenesis (SE). Of these, SE is the most powerful in obtaining genetic gain …

Abstract Bacopa monnieri (L.) Wettst. is a high value medicinally important plant used as a
memory enhancer, the germplasm of which requires to be conserved long-term due to its …

Cryopreservation has several advantages over other ex situ conservation methods, and
indeed is the only viable storage method for the long term conservation of most plant …
