AI Article Synopsis

  • The study explored cryostoring techniques for date palm (L. cv. Sagai) embryogenic tissue, comparing dehydrated-encapsulation, vitrification, and vitrification-encapsulation methods.
  • The highest regeneration rate (53.33%) was achieved with liquid nitrogen-treated embryos that underwent a specific treatment involving sucrose and air drying.
  • Cryopreservation using vitrification, particularly with Vitrification Solution 2, yielded impressive survival (86.7%) and growth rates (46.7%), indicating these techniques are suitable for maintaining a cryo-germplasm bank for date palms.

Article Abstract

The cryostoring of embryogenic tissue of the date palm ( L. cv. Sagai) was examined through dehydrated-encapsulation, vitrification, and vitrification-encapsulation. The most extreme regeneration rate (53.33%) of epitomized, cryostored liquid nitrogen (+LN) treated embryos was observed when pre-embryonic masses were hatched with 0.5 M sucrose for 48 h pursued by 6 h air drying out. The most noteworthy survival rate (80.0%) of epitomized, cryopreserved embryonic cluster came about when calli were hatched with 0.3 or 0.7 M sucrose for 48 h pursued by four hours of lack of hydration, or with 0.5 M sucrose for 48 h without air drying out or with 2 h of air drying out. Following cryopreservation utilizing the embodiment vitrification convention, the most astounding survival (86.7%) as well as the greatest growth (46.7%) was accomplished when the typified vitrified, cryopreserved calli were treated with Vitrification Solution 2 for plants (PVS2) for 60 min at 25 °C. Cryopreservation utilizing the vitrification convention brought about the most extreme recuperation of 53.3%, when vitrified-cryopreserved calli were subjected to PVS2 solution for 30 min at 25 °C. Most extreme (40%) regeneration of vitrified, cryopreserved embryonic calli was seen when these calli were treated with PVS2 solution for 60 min at 25 °C. The outcome got amid this investigation of regrowth after cryopreservation of the cv. Sagai was over the base suitable for a cryo-germplasm bank. Recovery and regrowth were above 30% for all the techniques developed for the cv. Sagai.
