Experimental parameters underlying failure or success in plant germplasm cryopreservation: a case study on zygotic axes of Quercus robur L.

Author(s) : BERJAK P., WALKER M., WATT M. P., et al.

Type of article: Article

Summary

It is concluded that the consequences of over-rigorous surface-sterilization, and prolonged periods of dehydration, while not lethal in themselves, act synergistically and lethally with freezing stress. A possible explanation for, and solution of, the prevalent problem in axis cryopreservation, viz. failure of shoot development, are presented in terms of deranged or restituted intracellular organization, respectively.
