Rcs. Ribeiro et al., REGENERATION OF FERTILE PLANTS FROM CRYOPRESERVED CELL-SUSPENSIONS OFARABIDOPSIS-THALIANA (L) HEYNH, PLANT SCI, 115(1), 1996, pp. 115-121
Suspension cultured cells of the three ecotypes Landsberg Erecta, C24,
and Wassilewskija of Arabidopsis thaliana were recovered from cryogen
ic storage. The post-thaw viability of cells, as determined by the red
uction of triphenol tetrazolium chloride and cell re-growth, were infl
uenced by pre-growth mannitol treatment. Fertile plants were rapidly r
egenerated from thawed cells.
