Cryoconservation methods for extended storage of plant genetic resources (original) (raw)

2017

Abstract

This chapter seeks to deliver an elucidation of the diverse technological attributes identifying the vastly effectuated and evolving technique of cryoconservation, a biotechnology developed to enable the prolonged storage of diversified flora. The foremost cryogenic methodologies and the pivotal phases for their effective adjustment to varied kinds of germplasms are expounded. Herein, numerous examples of cryopreservation of plant species are mentioned, to illustrate the incredible breakthrough that has been made, along with its additional roles in supporting genetic breeding programmes and in eliminating systemic plant pathogens by means of cryotherapy; thus making it an effective substitute for the purpose of conservation of germplasm.
