In vitro
plants storage based on periodically change o f cultural medium
is w ide ly used fo r maintenance o f patogennegative clones o f vegetative
propagated horticultural crops. Long term cryopreservation o f plant material
excluding periodically change o f nutrient media helps to reduce partly labour
expediture.
The experimental results have showen that cold hardening (4-8°C,
darkness) o f raspberry mother plants on agar medium (5 -6% sugars and
cytokinins) provided the succesful cryopreservation o f excised apices (0,5-
2,0 mm ). The explants isolated from hardened
in vitro
plantlets were
precultivated on liguid medium with 5-7% dimethylsulfoxide at 18-22°C fo r
18 h.. Then they were transferred to cold cryoprotectant mixture (5% sugars
and 7-9% dimethylsulfoxide) in cryotubes (Nunc) and frosen slowly or rapidly
by fina lly immersed to liguid nitrogen at -196°C . In a hour later o r more
samples were taken out liquid nitrogen and thawed in 40°C water. A fte r
cryoconservation viable meristems o f raspberry (cvs. Skromnitza, Lastochka,
Poland) regenerated w ithout callus formation stage. A fte r such treatment
they produced multiply viab ily progeny on cytokinin containing nutrient
medium.
