Cryopreservation techniques for long-term storage of horticultural germplasm

Abstract

Cryopreservation offers a reliable and long-term solution for the conservation of horticultural germplasm, providing a safeguard against genetic erosion and ensuring the availability of plant resources for future breeding programs and biodiversity conservation. This review explores various cryopreservation techniques, evaluates their effectiveness, and discusses their application to different types of horticultural germplasm. The study synthesizes findings from previous research, highlighting the benefits, challenges, and future directions in the field of cryopreservation
