This paper discusses the importance of the successive steps of the vitrification technique
and reviews the current development and use of vitrification and of the two derived …

Cryopreservation is a safe approach for the long-term preservation of plant genetic
resources that complements traditional field and in vitro germplasm collections. There are …

Over the past decades, plant cryopreservation technologies have been evolving rapidly,
opening the door to the possibility of long-term storage of valuable genetic resources of …

Many plants cannot vitrify themselves because they lack glassy state-inducing substances
and/or have high water content. Therefore, cryoprotectants are used to induce vitrification. A …

Cryopreservation is a very important tool for the long-term storage of plant genetic resources
for future generations, requiring only a minimum of space and maintenance. With increasing …

Plant shoot tips do not survive exposure to liquid nitrogen temperatures without
cryoprotective treatments. Some cryoprotectant solutions, such as plant vitrification solution …

Grapevine (Vitis spp.) is one of the most economically important temperate fruit crops.
Grapevine breeding programs require access to high-quality Vitis cultivars and wild species …

Today, application of in vitro culture by means of slow growth storage of shoot cultures and
cryopreservation of organs, tissues and cells in liquid nitrogen presents a remarkable …

Nowadays, plant genetic resources are often at risk of loss and destruction. Geophytes are
herbaceous or perennial species that are annually renewed by bulbs, rhizomes, tuberous …

Diseases caused by plant pathogens such as viruses, viroids and phytoplasmas cause huge
economic losses of agricultural production and limit the safe movement of plant materials …
