Biotechnology and Conservation of Plant Biodiversity (2013, methodology): “through apex conservation through a process known as cryotherapy [85].”
Maturation and related aspects in clonal forestry—part II: reinvigoration, rejuvenation and juvenility maintenance (2014, background): “Cryopreservation affords long-term storage of germplasm, preventing cell division and metabolism and arresting plant ageing (Engelmann 2004; Benson 2008).”
Conservation of plant genetic resources by cryopreservation. (2011, methodology): “Some of orthodox seeds are very resistance to drying below 3% moisture content, without any damage and reduction of viability (Uragami et al., 1990; Panis et al., 2001; Engelmann, 2004).”
Conservation In vitro of threatened plants—Progress in the past decade (2006, methodology): “The potential value of cryopreservation as a conservation tool has been extolled by many authors (Stacey et al., 1999; Engelmann and Dussert, 2000; Engelmann, 2004), and it is currently the only available technique for the safe long-term storage of species with recalcitrant seeds or those that are…”
Evaluating costs for the in vitro propagation and preservation of endangered plants (2011, background): “When recalcitrant embryos cannot be dried or banked, or when endangered species produce few or no seeds, tissue banking is an option (Engelmann 2004; Li and Pritchard 2009).”
Cryotherapy of shoot tips: a technique for pathogen eradication to produce healthy planting materials and prepare healthy plant genetic resources for cryopreservation (2009, background): “However, as no callus formation occurs using the optimised meristem regeneration protocols (Engelmann, 2004), the risk for somaclonal variation is considered minimal.”
Development and large scale application of cryopreservation techniques for shoot and somatic embryo cultures of tropical crops (2007, background): “As a result, the number of plant species for which a cryopreservation protocol has been established is now well over 200 (Engelmann 2004), and the number of cases is increasing regularly, where cryopreservation can be routinely applied for long-term germplasm conservation.”
Biotechnology for endangered plant conservation: a critical overview. (2009, background): “Desiccation is the simplest procedure and consists of dehydrating explants and freezing them rapidly by direct immersion in liquid nitrogen and it may be used for freezing zygotic embryos or embryonic axes extracted from seeds (ENGELMANN [20], DUMET & al.”
Cryopreservation of Phytodiversity: A Critical Appraisal of Theory & Practice (2008, background): “This is especially the case for tropical species ( Engelmann, 2004 ; Sakai et al , 2008 ) but there still remain plants, algae and cyanobacteria recalcitrant to cryopreservation.”
Use of biotechnologies for the conservation of plant biodiversity (2011, background): “There is no report of modifications at the phenotypical, biochemical, chromosomal or molecular level which could be attributed to cryopreservation (Engelmann 1997b, 2004).”
Current Issues in Plant Cryopreservation (2012, background): “Usually water concentrations must be decreased to between 10% and 20% of the fresh weight for optimal cryogenic survival (Engelmann, 2004).”
Challenges in implementing plant shoot tip cryopreservation technologies (2020, background): “2018a; Matsumoto 2017; Reed 2008; Sakai and Engelmann 2007; Engelmann 2004).”
Status of cryopreservation technologies in plants (crops and forest trees). (2005, background): “, at ORSTOM (now IRD), France (80 accessions of oil palm [15]), and at the National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources (NBPGR), India (numerous accessions of citrus, jackfruit, almond, litchi and tea [48]).”
