Alginate beads employed in plant cryopreservation encapsulation techniques readily interchange solutes and water with the surrounding media. Their transfer properties are often critical for its function, either for its ...

In paradise tree (Melia azedarach L.), immature zygotic embryos sampled from immature fruits are the starting material for the production of somatic embryos. These somatic embryos are employed for freezing experiments. ...

Encapsulation-dehydration was employed for cryopreserving seeds and in vitro-cultured protocorms of Oncidium bifolium. Freshly harvested seeds, 120 days after pollination, were encapsulated in beads containing ½ MS medium ...

Orchid populations have been decreasing due to habitat loss and over-collection for ornamental use. Consequently, there is an urgent need to conserve germplasm resources. Cryopreservation of the threatened orchid Cattleya ...

The aim of the present study was to investigate the efficiency of the encapsulation-dehydration technique for cryopreservation of Cyrtopodium hastchbachii Pabst seeds. Immature seeds of this species were cryopreserved by ...

In this study, we successfully cryopreserved cotyledonary somatic embryos of diploid and triploid Arachis pintoi cytotypes using the encapsulation-dehydration technique. The highest survival rates were obtained when somatic ...

Cyrtopodium hatschbachii is a recently-described orchid species distributed in norteastern Argentina. Natural populations of this species require conservation because they have a very restricted size and distribution and ...

Numerous environmental and endogenous factors affect the level of genetic diversity in natural populations. Genetic variability is the cornerstone of evolution and adaptation of species. However, currently, more and more ...
