A new cryopreservation method for vegetatively propagated plant genetic resources using aluminum cryo-plates
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 obtained for mint and tropical mulberry germplasms. It will be possible to utilize this highly effective method for long term preservation in genebanks.

Diversification of mulberry (Morus indica var. S36), a vegetatively propagated tree species
Genetic diversity among plants sprouted from seven year old clones of mulberry (Morus indica var. S36) was studied using molecular markers such as ISSR and RAPD. The clones showed significant variability in sex expression and the sprouting behavior. These changes were appeared after seven years of rigorous pruning and training (pruned once in every 3-4months). Genetic diversity analysis reveale...

Oleander (Nerium oleander L.) is cultivated recently as a flowering pot plant and therefore abundant propagation plant material for commercial use is of great importance. Oleander is a vegetatively propagated ornamental plant valued for its evergreen foliage and showy terminal flower clusters that are available in different colours. Studies have shown that rooting, plant growth regulat...
