The in vitro methods that can be used or are in use in root crop germplasm conservation and distribution are described, namely (1) normal growth storage, (2) reduced growth storage (reduced incubation temp., manipulation of culture media, both of the former), and (3) cryopreservation. The achieve...

Adding value to root and tuber crops: a manual on product development
Vegetatively propagated crop (VPC) seed tends to remain true to varietal type but is bulky, often carries disease, and is slow to produce. So VPC seed needs to be handled differently than that of other crops, e.g., it tends to be sourced locally, often must be fresh, and it is less often sold on ...
