IBPGR-CIAT Collaborative Project on a pilot in vitro active genebank
For many crops with preferential vegetative propagation, or which are sterile, or have seed unresponsive to standard seed storage techniques, in vitro methods can provide a valuable adjunct to other germplasm conservation strategies. Two types of in vitro gene banks are proposed: (i) an in vitro ...

In vitro methods of germ-plasm conservation
In vitro conservation strategies are reviewed, with special reference to in vitro active and basic gene banks; likewise, important aspects that should be considered for in vitro conservation, such as regeneration, viability, genetic stability, and information systematization, are discussed. The 2...
