Cryopreservation of Vegetative Dormant Winter Buds
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Cryopreservation of vegetative winter buds is an alternative method to preserving plant species in the field. In this method, nodal sections of scionwood are stored in liquid nitrogen vapor. Cryopreservation of the vegetative dormant winter buds involves low maintenance costs and virtually eliminates the risk of germplasm loss. At the NCGRP, this method is routinely used to preserve Malus sp. (apple) and Prunus cerasus (sour cherry) germplasm.

Freezing of water in dormant vegetative apple buds in relation to cryopreservation.
Various empirical prefreezing protocols have been used to facilitate cryopreservation of dormant buds from woody plants. The objective of this research was to determine the quantity of water remaining in liquid phase, under different prefreezing conditions using pulsed nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy of dormant apple (Malus domestica Mill.) buds from three cultivars. During prefreezing,...
متن کاملCryopreservation of winter-dormant apple buds: II - tissue water status after desiccation at -4C and before further cooling.
The established protocol for the cryopreservation of winter-dormant Malus buds requires that stem explants, containing a single, dormant bud are desiccated at -4 degree C, for up to 14 days, to reduce their water content to 25-30 percent of fresh weight. Using three apple cultivars, with known differences in response to cryopreservation, the pattern of evaporative water loss has been characteri...
متن کاملAnatomical Study of Primary Bud Necrosis in Vitis vinifera L. cv. Askari in Winter Dormant Bud
Primary bud necrosis in grapevine is a physiological disorder observed in the compound buds. This study was conducted to investigate the anatomical changes in cv. Askari grapevine in winter dormant buds. Bud samples were taken from Askari grapevine at Sisakht vineyards, south-western of Iran. Compound buds were dissected and assessed under a binocular microscope at 10-40x magnification and a di...
متن کاملCryotolerance of apple tree bud is independent of endodormancy
Increasing interest in cryopreservation of dormant buds reveals the need for better understanding of the role of dormancy in cryotolerance. Dormancy stage and low-temperature survival of vegetative apple buds (Malus domestica Borkh.), cultivars 'Sampion' and 'Spartan', collected from orchard were evaluated during three seasons contrasting in temperature and precipitation throughout the arrested...
متن کاملGenetic stability of mulberry germplasm after cryopreservation by two-step freezing technique
Genetic stability of Morus alba, Morus indica, Morus laevigata (indigenous collection) and Morus species (exotic collection) have been studied in in vitro regenerated plants of mulberry (fresh, before and after cryopreservation) using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers. This study examined the genetic stability of cryopreserved dormant buds o...
