Plant Cryopreservation: Biochemical Aspects

چکیده
Citation: Prudente DO, Paiva R (2017) Plant Cryopreservation: Biochemical Aspects. J Cell Dev Biol Vol.1 No.1:1 In-vitro conservation consists in the maintenance of living biological material under aseptic conditions and can be carried out in the medium or long term [1,2]. In medium-term conservation, it is possible to highlight the slow-growing technique, in which propagules are kept at reduced temperatures (4°C 15°C) with low luminous intensity and culture medium containing osmotic agents [3]. Cryopreservation, a method that guarantees the viability and genetic integrity of plant material for a long period of time, through its ultra-low temperature (-196oC) stands out for long-term conservation [4].

Cryopreservation of Plant Materials - A Review
Establishment of new plant varieties is getting important due to tremendous increase in population and changes in the human food behaviors. This leads towards the demand of new techniques and varieties in plant productions. Therefore some of the wild species and some other important plants species are in the extinction condition. Germplasm conservation of some of the important species is essent...
متن کاملCryopreservation of Cultured Plant Cells
Undifferentiated cell cultures of higher plants are important genetic resources used extensively in cytological, physiological, and molecular biological studies. The development of a reliable and cost-effective method for the maintenance of cultured cells is required to minimize the risk of losing cell lines to disease, contamination, and technical errors, as well as the risk of changes in morp...

متن کاملBiophysical Characteristics of Successful Oilseed Embryo Cryoprotection and Cryopreservation Using Vacuum Infiltration Vitrification: An Innovation in Plant Cell Preservation
Heterogeneity in morphology, physiology and cellular chemistry of plant tissues can compromise successful cryoprotection and cryopreservation. Cryoprotection is a function of exposure time × temperature × permeability for the chosen protectant and diffusion pathway length, as determined by specimen geometry, to provide sufficient dehydration whilst avoiding excessive chemical toxicity. We have ...
متن کاملApplication of Functional Genomics and Proteomics to Plant Cryopreservation
Plant cryobiology has primarily emerged from the classical fields of cryobiology and plant stress physiology. Cryopreservation tools are now available to geneticists for germplasm preservation and the field itself is advancing significantly through the use of molecular techniques. Long-term preservation of vegetatively propagated tissues can minimize the risks of long-term maintenance under tis...
