CRYOPRESERVATION OF PLANT GENETIC RESOURCES: CONVENTIONAL AND NEW METHODS

Cryopreservation of Plant Genetic Resources

on the comparison of keyword and semantic-context methods of learning new vocabulary meaning

the rationale behind the present study is that particular learning strategies produce more effective results when applied together. the present study tried to investigate the efficiency of the semantic-context strategy alone with a technique called, keyword method. to clarify the point, the current study seeked to find answer to the following question: are the keyword and semantic-context metho...

Cryopreservation of Spices Genetic Resources

A new cryopreservation method for vegetatively propagated plant genetic resources using aluminum cryo-plates

A new cryopreservation method using aluminum cryo-plates was developed for clonally propagated crops. In this method, shoot tips are attached to the cryo-plates and can easily be manipulated for preservation treatments, such as dehydration. The ease of handling, minimal injury to shoot tips, and rapid rates of cooling and warming resulted in high regrowth rates. More than 80% regrowth was obtai...

Cryopreservation for preservation of potato genetic resources

Cryopreservation is becoming a very important tool for the long-term storage of plant genetic resources and efficient cryopreservation protocols have been developed for a large number of plant species. Practical procedures, developed using in vitro tissue culture, can be a simple and reliable preservation option of potato genetic resources rather than maintaining by vegetative propagation in ge...
