| Abstract: | Invitro-grown shoot tips of taro (Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott.) were successfully cryopreserved by vitrification. Excised shoot tips precultured on solidified MS supplemented with 0.3M sucrose and maintained under a 16 h phtoperiod at 25°C for 16 h were loaded with a mixture of 2M glycerol plus 0.4M sucrose for 20 min at 25°C. The shoot tips were then sufficiently dehydrated with a highly concentrated vitrification solution (PVS2) for 20 min at 25°C prior to immersion into liquid nitrogen. Successfully vitrified and warmed shoot tips resumed growth within 7 days and developed shoots directly without intermediate callus formation. The average rate of shoot recovery amounted to around 80%, and the vitrification protocol appeared to be very promising for the cryopreservation of taro germplasm.Abbreviations DMSO Dimethylsulfoxide - EG ethylene glycol - LN liquid nitrogen - MS Murashige & Skoog medium (1962) - TDZ thidiazuron |
