Genome fidelity during short- and long-term tissue culture and differentially cryostored meristems of silver birch (Betula pendula)
2005
Ryynanen, L. | Aronen, T.
Clonal trueness of micropropagated or cryopreserved material is essential, especially with long-living tree species. In this study, the growth rate and morphology of regenerated silver birch (Betula pendula Roth) plants growing in the nursery were evaluated after different treatments: short-term (14 months) and long-term (70 months) tissue culture periods, cryostorage of in vivo buds and cryopreservation of in vitro shoot apices using four different slow cooling cryopreservation protocols with PGD (10% PEG, 10% glucose, 10% DMSO) as cryoprotectant. Genetic fidelity of the regenerated plants compared to the original donor trees was evaluated using RAPD assays together with chromosome analysis. The regenerated plants showed no genetic or phenotypic changes, and can thus be considered as reliable material for any research, breeding or silvicultural activities.
