Cryopreservation of sorghum seeds modifies germination and seedling growth but not field performance of adult plants

Cryopreservation of sorghum seeds modifies germination and seedling growth but not field performance of adult plants

Climate change poses risks to both wild and crop plant biodiversity, which can be mitigated by cryopreservation (usually at -196 °C in liquid nitrogen [LN]) of crop germplasm. Cryopreservation is widely regarded as a reliable method for the ex situ conservation of plant genetic resources but its ef...
