Summary

For plasmolyzed Catharanthus roseus cells in suspension culture, cytochalasin D treatment and DMSO loading were equally effective in promoting survival after preservation at -196 deg C. Both treatments lead to a more or less substantial reorganization of the actin filament pattern. Thus, beneficial effects of the actin binding drug provide evidence that cellular alterations linked to the structure of the actin cytoskeleton promote survival of plant cells at -196 deg C.
