The International Potato Center holds one of the largest and most diverse potato cryobanks worldwide. The cryo-collection includes 1855 landraces, belonging to seven potato species and four different ploidy levels. The potato cryo-collection was principally built up in recent years (2013-17), und...

Evolution of quality standards in plant cryobanks - The International Potato Center as a case study
BACKGROUND: Cryobanks are a secure, efficient and low cost method for the longterm conservation of plant genetic resources for theoretically centuries or millennia with minimal maintenance. OBJECTIVE: The present manuscript describes CIP’s modified protocol for potato cryopreservation, its large-...

The potato cryobank at the International Potato Center (CIP): a model for long term conservation of clonal plant genetic resources collections of the future.
Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is an important staple crop with a highly heterozygous and complex genome. Despite its cultural and economic significance, potato improvement efforts have been held back by the relative lack of genetic resources available to producers and breeders. The publication of...
