Area of Science:

Plant Science
Cryobiology
Horticultural Science

Background:

Cryopreservation is crucial for conserving plant genetic resources.
Developing efficient cryopreservation protocols for strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.) is essential for germplasm maintenance.
Existing methods require lengthy pre-treatment steps.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and optimize cryopreservation procedures for strawberry apices.
To screen multiple strawberry genotypes using novel cryopreservation techniques.
To reduce the duration of the cryopreservation process.

Main Methods:

Encapsulation-dehydration method.
Vitrification combined with encapsulation-dehydration.
Pre-culture of encapsulated apices in alginate gel with varying sucrose and glycerol concentrations.
Screening of five Fragaria x ananassa cultivars and two wild species (F. chiloensis, F. virginiana).

Main Results:

Recovery rates varied significantly among genotypes, ranging from 23% to 63%.
A modified protocol using 0.4 M sucrose and 2 M glycerol reduced pre-treatment time.
This new method eliminated the need for a 19-hour pre-treatment with 0.8 M sucrose.

Conclusions:

Cryopreservation of strawberry apices is feasible using encapsulation-dehydration and vitrification-based methods.
The modified protocol offers a faster and efficient approach to strawberry cryopreservation.
Optimized cryopreservation techniques are vital for the long-term conservation of strawberry genetic diversity.
