Cryopreservation of Plant Materials - A Review
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 essential. Cryopreservation is a technique, which is used to preserve the reservoirs of genetic materials of plants by ultra low temperature. During the cryopreservation all biochemical activities significantly reduced and biological deterioration are stopped. The preserved materials can be used after many years. This review details the cryopreservation of plant genetic materials.

Cryopreservation technology for conservation of selected vegetative propagules
Cryopreservation is the science of freezing biological materials and their subsequent storage at very low temperature in liquid nitrogen (-196°C). At such low temperature, metabolic rates are low or completely halted. Recently the need to conserve plant materials has increased tremendously due to extinction. Plants that produce orthodox seeds can be easily stored in the form of desiccated seeds...

متن کاملPretreatment Strategies for the Cryopreservation of Plant Tissues
Preconditioning of plant material prior to cryopreservation is beneficial for increasing the survival of plant tissues. Pretreatment of plant cells and tissues can be divided into three categories. Cultural pretreatments may involve growth medium, cold acclimation or consideration of the plant part used. Chemical treatments may be osmotic or penetrating cryoprotectants. Desiccation treatments m...

Background: Hen egg yolk is a common component of most semen cryopreservation extenders. However, diluents containing the egg yolk may have adverse effects on the quality of the semen. Egg yolk could be solubilized by the addition of sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) in semen extenders. Many studies have shown beneficial effects of antioxidants addition to semen freezing extenders. Antioxidants are...
