Ascorbate deficiency compromises post-cryopreservation regeneration in Arabidopsis thaliana mutants: Antioxidant dynamics and oxidative DNA damage.

Abstract excerpt

Cryopreservation is important for the conservation of plant species. Oxidative stress, amongst the variety of stresses induced during the different steps of cryopreservation, can cause shifts in antioxidant contents that can lead to reduced post-cryopreservation survival and regrowth. A link between cryo-induced ascorbate deficiency and oxidative-induced DNA damage is not proven but could potentially contribute...
