Cryopreservation of Plant Germplasm I

More about the book

The book addresses the critical issue of endangered plant germplasm, particularly among forest trees, agricultural crops, and medicinal plants. It highlights the limitations of traditional conservation methods for species with short-lived seeds or those propagated vegetatively, which face risks from environmental factors and diseases. The author explores innovative solutions, such as in vitro cultures and advanced techniques like freeze preservation in liquid nitrogen, aiming for long-term storage and genetic stability of valuable plant species.
