Genetic stability of wild pear (Pyrus pyraster, Burgsd) after cryopreservation by encapsulation dehydration

Shoot tips of Pyrus pyraster were successfully cryopreserved by encapsulation-dehydration. Na--alginate beads each containing one shoot tip, dehydrated for 2 days in 0.75M sucrose and desiccated to 20% moisture content (fresh weight basis), gave 60% recovery after exposure to liquid nitrogen. Regene...
