Cryopreservation of Protoplast, Suspension and Callus Cultures

  • Chapter
Genetic Preservation of Plant Cells in Vitro

Part of the book series: Springer Lab Manuals ((SLM))

Abstract

This chapter deals with cryopreservation of the simplest types of in vitro culture, at least in terms of differentiation and organisation, and also contains general information concerning aspects of cryopreservation which are relevant to other subjects in this volume, which will be cross-referenced elsewhere.
