GENE PRESERVATION THROUGH FREEZE-STORAGE OF PLANT CELL, TISSUE AND ORGAN CULTURE |
| Author: | Y.P.S. Bajaj |
| Abstract:
Entire plants have been regenerated from cell suspensions, meristem tips and pollen-embryos subjected to -196°C in the presence of a cryoprotectant. The significance and potential of long-term freeze-storage for the maintenance of genetic stability, preservation of clones of rare genomes, and for the conservation of disease-free stocks is discussed. | |
