Summary The shoot tips of Chrysanthemum morifolium (syn. Dendranthema grandiflorum) and related species native to Japan were cryopreserved using preculture for 2 days, slow cooling (0.2 ° C/min) until - 40 ° C with 10% dimethyl sulphoxide and 3% glucose prior to immersion into LN2 and rapid thawing. High survival rates were observed in 3 cultivars of chrysanthemum, 12 species and 2 interspecific hybrids, and slightly low survival rates in 3 species. The shoot regeneration rates of the frozen shoot tips varied from 9.4 to 100% depending on species. Shoot tips of chrysanthemum showed high viability even after a storage of 8 months in LN2. The thawed chrysanthemum shoot tips grew and flowered normally in a greenhouse under natural conditions.
Objectives This study was carried out to clarify the applicability of this freezing method to the related species of chrysanthemum.
Materials Shoot tips were excised from mother plants growing in a greenhouse under night break (22:00--02:00).
Explant
Initial culture The excised shoot tips were precultured on MS medium supplemented with 0.1 mg/1 BA, 1.0 mg/l NAA, 20 g/1 sucrose, 8 g/l agar and 5% (v/v) DMSO at 25 ° C under a constant fluorescent light at 19/xmol/s/m 2 for 2 days.
