A simple and efficient method for the long-term preservation of plant cell suspension cultures
Anne-Marie Boisson, Elisabeth Gout, Richard Bligny, Corinne Rivasseau Plant Methods 2012, 8:4 (30 January 2012)
Abstract | Provisional PDF
| PubMed
|
Editor’s summary
The authors describe a very convenient way to preserve plant cell cultures that doesn't require any specialised equipment and avoids the use of freezing. A combination of low temperature (5oC) and a phosphate-free medium allows the cells to remain viable for 6 months and, importantly to resume active growth without a lag when they are returned to standard culture conditions.
