What is freeze preservation ? Discuss any three types of freeze preservation. |

Answer» Freeze Preservation: in this approach, cells and tissues are stored at - 196°C in liquid nitrogen. Theoretically, the cell and tissues can be stored in live state indefinitely, viability generally declines with the duration of cryopreservation, and thawed cells/tissues show variable degrees of damage, which they may be able to repair under appropriate media and culture conditions. It is desirable to preserve organised tissues like shoot-tips, and somatic and zygotic embryos to minimize the risk of genetic instability associated with unorganized tissues like cell suspensions and protoplasts. |
