Summary

The average rate of shoot formation about 30 days after planting was 80%. This vitrification procedure was successfully applied to six other cultivars of Allium wakegi. The results also demonstrated the feasibility of conserving vitrified meristems in a deep-freezer at -152 deg C for at least 3 months without decrease in plant regeneration.
