Cryopreservation of Temperate Berry Crops

  • Chapter
Book cover Plant Cryopreservation: A Practical Guide

Preservation of clonal genotypes of most fruit crops requires vegetative propagation, so cryopreservation is an ideal method for long-term germplasm storage (Engelmann 2004). Some of the first and most successful experiments with the cryopreservation of apical meristems began with a temperate berry crop, strawberry (Kartha et al. 1980; Sakai et al. 1978). These initial studies showed that slow cooling of <1 mm shoot tips in cryoprotectant solutions was a feasible option for long-term storage of clonally propagated plants. During the last two decades, cryopreservation methods were developed for many species of fruit crops (Reed 2001).
