Abstract excerpt
Cryopreservation techniques exist for some 100-plant species. Cryopreservation for the long-term conservation of in vitro germplasm results in the exposure of tissues to physical, chemical and physiological stresses causing cryoinjury. Although, the effects of cryoinjury upon the genome are often unknown, any accumulative DNA polymorphisms may not be induced by cryopreservation per se but are the result of the...
