Summary

Shoot-tips of Ribes nigrum cultivars "Ben Tron" and "Ben more" were capable of surviving and regenerating new shoots following cryopreservation. Recovery responses were significantly enhanced when vitrification methods of cryopreservation were used. Differential scanning calorimetry revealed that vitrification phenomena were reproducible and that is was possible to stabilise the glassy state on rewarming. The potential for Ribes germplasm cryopreservation to be utilized in large scale conservation initiatives is evaluated in the study.
