Low-temperature preincubation enhances survival and regeneration of cryopreserved Saussurea involucrata callus

Saussurea involucrata Kar. et Kir. is one of the most well-known Chinese medicinal plants, and it is utilized for a variety of medical conditions. Due to the overexploitation of this endangered species, it is crucial to develop methods for both conservation and propagation. To address this issue, we have developed and optimized a simple and effective vitrification process for the cryopreservation of S. involucrata callus tissue. The optimized method consisted of a 3-d incubation period on medium containing 0.3 M sucrose, transfer to a plant vitrification solution (PVS2) containing 30% (v/v) glycerol, 15% (v/v) ethylene glycol, 15% (v/v) dimethylsulfoxide, and 0.4 M sucrose first at 60% PVS2 for 40 min, then at 100% PVS2 for 60 min, followed by immediate immersion and storage in liquid nitrogen. To thaw the tissue, tissues were rewarmed at 40°C for 2 min. This method resulted in a survival rate of approximately 56% and a regrowth rate of approximately 40%. Survival and regrowth were significantly improved by the addition of a low-temperature preincubation step. Incubating the calli at 4°C for 12 d prior to initiating the optimized cryopreservation protocol increased the survival rate of the tissue to 75%, increased the regrowth rate to 60%, and more than doubled the number of regenerated shoots per explant. Following cryopreservation, greater than 90% of the regenerated shoots formed complete plantlets, and 81% of the regenerated plantlets survived and grew vigorously under greenhouse conditions.     

Comparisons of glucose,sucrose, and dimethyl sulfoxide as cryoprotective agents for Babesia rodhaini, with estimates of survival rates

Comparisons were made between glucose, sucrose, and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as cryoprotective agents for the hemoprotozoan parasite, Babesia rodhaini, using infectivity for mice as the criterion of survival. Concentrations of the cryoprotectants tested were from 0.1 to 0.5 M for the sugars, and 1.5 to 2.5 M for DMSO. Glucose and sucrose were comparable as cryoprotectants, although glucose reduced infectivity of the parasites slightly more than did sucrose at above-freezing temperatures. When sucrose and DMSO were compared for cryoprotection during cooling to ?196 °C at nominal rates of 5, 100, and 500 °C/min, parasite survival varied with the type and concentration of cryoprotectant, but was higher in blood containing DMSO at all three cooling rates. The percentages of parasites that survived cooling at 100 °C/min and frozen storage in the presence of DMSO ranged from 20 to 36%.

Vitrification of dog spermatozoa: Effects of two cryoprotectants (sucrose or trehalose) and two warming procedures

Sperm vitrification is a low cost and simple technique that does not require special equipment and may represent an attractive alternative to the costly and time consuming conventional dog spermatozoa cryopreservation techniques. The objective of this study was to evaluate different cryoprotectants and warming temperatures on the vitrification of dog spermatozoa. Pooled semen samples from 10 beagle dogs were vitrified with four extenders, based on Tris, citric acid and glucose, 20% egg yolk (TCG-20% EY) and different combinations of sucrose and/or trehalose: 250 mM sucrose; 250 mM trehalose; 125 mM sucrose + 125 mM trehalose; 250 mM sucrose + 250 mM trehalose. Samples were vitrified by dropping 50 μL of sperm suspension directly into liquid nitrogen. After vitrification, warming was done either fast (at 65 °C for 2–5 s) or slow (at 37 °C for one minute). Motility was assayed using a computer-aided sperm analysis (CASA) system; membrane integrity and acrosomal status were analyzed by fluorescence microscopy. For comparison, samples were also conventionally frozen in liquid nitrogen vapor using a TCG-20% egg yolk extender plus 5% glycerol. Frozen straws were thawed in a water bath at 37 °C for 30 s. Poorer motility results (P < 0.05) but similar viability were obtained when vitrification was performed, compared to conventional freezing (P > 0.05). When vitrification was used, cryoprotectants containing either 250 mM sucrose or 250 mM trehalose and warmed at 37 °C returned the best sperm quality variables.     

Cryopreservation of immature embryos of Theobroma cacao

Immature, white zygotic embryos of Theobroma cacao L. (cacao) retained the ability to produce callus and to undergo somatic embryogenesis after slow hydrated freezing and desiccated fast freezing in liquid nitrogen. The highest rate of somatic embryogenesis occurred in embryos which were precultured on a medium containing 3% sucrose, frozen slowly with cryoprotectants before exposure to liquid nitrogen, and recovered on a medium containing 3 mg/liter NAA. Embryos precultured on media containing sucrose increasing to 21% had a higher rate of survival but were less embryogenic after freezing. These results suggest that immature embryos might be used for long-term germplasm storage of T. cacao germplasm.     

Long-term (24h) cooling of ovarian fragments in the presence of permeable cryoprotectants prior to freezing: Two unsuccesful IVF-cycles and spontaneous pregnancy with baby born after re-transplantation

Cancer is the second major cause of death in the world. The problem of post-cancer infertility plays a significant role, because chemotherapy can be gonadotoxic. Cryopreservation of ovarian tissue before cancer therapy with re-implantation after convalescence is the potential key solution to this problem. The aim of this study was to test the viability of cryopreserved human ovarian cortex after long-term cooling in culture medium composed of permeable cryoprotectants. Ovarian fragments from sixteen patients were randomly divided into two groups. After the operation, tissue pieces assigned to both groups were cooled to 5 °C for 22–24 h, frozen and thawed. Group 1 pieces (n = 32) were cooled before cryopreservation in the standard culture medium, and Group 2 pieces (n = 32) were cooled in the freezing medium (culture medium+6% ethylene glycol+6% dimethyl sulfoxide+0.15 M sucrose). Freezing was performed in standard 5 ml cryo-vials with ice formation at −9 °C, cooling from −9 to −34 °C at a rate of −0.3 °C/min and plunging at −34 °C into liquid nitrogen. After thawing in a 100 °C (boiling) water bath, the removal of cryoprotectants was performed in 0.5 M sucrose with 20 min exposure in sucrose and 30 min stepping rehydration. The effectiveness of the pre-freezing cooling of tissue was evaluated by the development of follicles (histology). Six months after the autotransplantation, oocytes from the twenty-seven-year old, hormonally stimulated patient were retrieved and fertilized with her partner sperm through the intracytoplasmic spermatozoa injection (ICSI). For groups 1 and 2, 93.5 ± 1.9% and 96.4 ± 2.0% of the preantral follicles, respectively, were morphologically normal (P > 0.1) (with a tendency toward increasing in quality in Group 2). Six months after the auto-transplantation, two ICSI cycles resulted in the gathering and transplantation of high quality embryos, but no pregnancy had been established. Thirteen months after the auto-transplantation, the patient became spontaneously pregnant and delivered a healthy baby girl at term. Long-term (24 h) cooling of ovarian tissue to 5 °C before cryopreservation in the presence of permeable cryoprotectants simplifies the protocol of cryopreservation and has a tendency of increasing of the cells viability after thawing.     

High-efficiency vitrification protocols for cryopreservation of in vitro grown shoot tips of transgenic papaya lines

In vitro grown shoot tips of transgenic papaya lines (Carica papaya L.) were successfully cryopreserved by vitrification. Shoot tips were excised from stock shoots that were preconditioned in vitro for 45–50-day-old and placed on hormone-free MS medium with 0.09 M sucrose. After loading for 60 min with a mixture of 2 M glycerol and 0.4 M sucrose at 25°C, shoot tips were dehydrated with a highly concentrated vitrification solution (PVS2) for 80 min at 0°C and plunged directly into liquid nitrogen. The regeneration rate was approximately 90% after 2 months post-thawing. Successfully vitrified and warmed shoot tips of three non-transgenic varieties and 13 transgenic lines resumed growth within 2 months and developed shoots in the absence of intermediate callus formation. Dehydration with PVS2 was important for the cryopreservation of transgenic papaya lines. This vitrification procedure for cryopreservation appears to be promising as a routine method for cryopreserving shoot tips of transgenic papaya line germplasm.     

A simple cryopreservation protocol of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Dioscorea bulbifera</Emphasis> L. embryogenic calli by encapsulation-vitrification

Embryogenic calli of Dioscorea bulbifera L. were successfully cryopreserved using an encapsulation-vitrification method. Embryogenic calli were cooled at 6°C for 5 days on solid MS medium (Murashige and Skoog 1962) containing 2 mg L⁻¹ Kinetin (Kn), 0.5 mg L⁻¹ α-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) and 0.5 mg L⁻¹ 2,4-dichlorophenoxy-acetic acid (2,4-D). These were prior precultured on liquid basal MS medium enriched with 0.75 M sucrose at 25 ± 1°C for 7 days. Embryogenic calli were osmoprotected with a mixture of 2 M glycerol and 1 M sucrose for 80 min at 25°C and dropped in a 0.1 M CaCl₂ solution containing 0.4 M sucrose at 25 ± 1°C. After 15 min of polymerization, Ca-alginate beads (about 4 mm in diameter) were dehydrated for 150 min at 0°C in a PVS₂ solution [30% glycerol, 15% ethylene glycol, and 15% dimethyl sulfoxide (w/v)] containing 0.5 M sucrose. The encapsulated embryogenic calli were then plunged directly into LN (liquid nitrogen) for 1 h. After rapid thawing in a water bath (37°C; 2 min), the beads were washed 3 times at 10-min intervals in liquid basal MS medium containing 1.2 M sucrose. Following thawing, the embryogenic calli were transferred to fresh solid basal MS media supplemented with Kn 2 mg L⁻¹, 0.09 M sucrose and 0.75% (w/v) agar (embryoid induction medium) and cultured under light conditions of 12-h photoperiod with a light intensity of 36 μmol m⁻² s⁻¹ provided by white cool fluorescent tubes after a 2-day dark period at 25 ± 1°C. After 30 days, the embryoids developed from embryogenic calli were transferred to fresh solid basal MS media supplemented with Kn 2 mg L⁻¹, NAA 0.5 mg L⁻¹, 3% (w/v) sucrose and 0.75% (w/v) agar (regeneration medium). After 60 days, the embryogenic calli developed normal shoots and roots. No morphological abnormalities were observed after plating on the regeneration medium. The survival rate of encapsulated vitrified embryogenic callus reached over 70%. This encapsulation-vitrification method appears promising as a routine and simple method for the cryopreservation of Dioscorea bulbifera embryogenic callus.     

Cryopreservation of small leaf squares-bearing adventitious buds of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Lilium</Emphasis> Oriental hybrid ‘Siberia’ by vitrification

We report a new cryopreservation method for Lilium Oriental hybrid ‘Siberia’. Adventitious buds were induced from leaf segments cultured for 12 days on adventitious bud induction medium composed of half-strength Murashige and Skoog medium (MS) supplemented with 1 mg L^?1 α-naphthalene acetic acid and 0.5 mg L^?1 thidiazuron. Small leaf squares (SLSs, 3?×?4 mm), each bearing at least one adventitious bud, were cut from leaf segments, precultured on medium with 0.5 M sucrose for 1 day, and then treated for 20 min with a loading solution containing 0.4 M sucrose and 2 M glycerol, followed by exposure to plant vitrification solution 2 for 7 h at 0 °C. Dehydrated SLSs were directly immersed in liquid nitrogen for 1 h. Cryopreserved SLSs were re-warmed in MS medium containing 1.2 M sucrose for 20 min at room temperature, followed by post-thaw culture for recovery. With this procedure, 85% survival and 72% shoot regrowth were achieved following cryopreservation. The use of SLSs bearing adventitious buds for cryopreservation reported in the present study eliminates the time-consuming and labour-intensive step of shoot tip excision, and has great potential to facilitate cryopreservation in other plant species.
