The most o f long term cultivated plant cell strains had loosed their
morpho- and embryogenetic capacities and their cryopreservation demanded
a specia l p re lim ina ry cu ltiva tion . The Rhs-2 and Rhs-8 cell lines o f
Rhaponticum carthamoides
were not alike a Rhs-1 strain that had been
successful cryopreserved early (Volkova L.A., Popov A.S.) with 7% DMSO
(dimethilsulfoxide) only without any special pre-growth. The Rhs-2 and Rhs-
8 strains are more sensitive to DMSO. They were successful cryopreserved
w ith cryoprotector m ixture: 2% DMSO + 5% trehalose + 4% glycerol after
prelim inary cultivation fo r 7 days with 6% mannitol and 7.5x10-5 M ABA in
combination. The ir survival was rised up to 44% and the growth o f these
strains was recovered a fte rthawing from liquid nitrogen. Pre-growth with the
mannitol only w ithout ABA was not effective fo r re-growth.
But the same precultivation with mannitol and ABA was not effective for
cell strain SAS-2n o f Beta vulgaris. Also cold hardening before deep freezing
was not effective. M itotic sinchronization o f SAS-2n cell culture have not
produced good results too. A vitrification (an ultra-rapid freezing) with PVS-
3 solution of Japan investigators after the above prelim inary cultivation and
cryoprotection did not provide any advantage over slowly program freezing:
the best survival was 1 5 -1 7% only. At the slow freezing the survival was 20
- 30% but the growth of this culture afterthaw ing from liquid nitrogen was not
renewed.
