Cryopreservation: Freezing Plant Tissues

Posted Date: Total Responses: 0 Posted By: CONFIDENCE IS THE COMPANION OF SUCCESS Member Level: Diamond Points/Cash: 2

Objective

The purpose of this project is to observe the characteristics and outcomes of cryogenically frozen seedlings over various time periods. This study specifically addresses the cause and effect of the seedling germination rate process.

Introduction

Scientists have been using cryopreservation to build a "living" archive of seed genes. Some of these frozen seeds are kept in storage in the event of natural disasters that may wipe out an important crop. The question remains about seed viability and how long seeds can remain in a frozen state and still germinate to produce a healthy plant.

Terms, Concepts and Questions to Start Background Research

You should understand the difference between these two areas of study: cryopreservation, cryobiology.
You will need to understand seed structure and germination to understand what impact cryopreservation will have on the seed.
You should also understand exactly what happens to plant tissues when seeds are frozen. What is the process for freezing plant tissue for preservation? What are some of the disadvantages/risks of this process?
