Tissue culture and cryopreservation of daucus carota L.

Abstract

Cryopreservation offers a viable and safe storage method for germplasm in contrast to more traditional germplasm conservation methods, but can be technically difticult and can involve the use of expensive equipment. The present study achieved the production and maintenance of callus and suspensions cultures and somatic embryos of Daucus Carota. L for use in cryopreservation experimentation.
