Cryopreservation of Seeds and Seed Embryos in Orthodox-, Intermediate-, and Recalcitrant-Seeded Species
Seeds are one of the preferable and most used sources of germplasm for the ex situ preservation of plant genetic resources. They are generally stored dry at -20 °C in seed banks following international standards. However, some seeds do not tolerate drying and/or storage at -20 °C, or present short... -

Cryopreservation of Fern Spores and Pollen
Fern spores and pollen are haploid plant germplasm of microscopic nature that can be used to regenerate full plants through germination (fern spores) or to fertilize seed-bearing plants through breeding programs (pollen). Due to their short life span in conventional storage (i.e., dry at -20 °C), the use of cryopreservation...
