Cryopreservation of in Vitro Established Shoot Tip Explants of Date Palm Cv. Zaghlool

Abstract

Cryoprotection procedures for in vitro established shoot tip explants of Date palm cv. Zaghlool prior to cryoprservation process in liquid nitrogen were investigated in this study. This work aimed to develop simple cryoprotection procedure that can be handled easily. The Date palm explants cryopreservation needs more studies to achieve better results in germplasm conservation.
