This volume focuses upon pollen cryopreservation in various crops from the most widely cultivated tomato to the lesser known medicinal species like Decalepis arayalpatra. Chapters detail standard techniques such as pollen collection, cryopreservation, pollen , germination tests for viability, and specific crops. Step-by-step protocols are complemented by personal notes, precautions, and specifying the reagents to be used in each step to ensure the repeatability of the procedure across labs.

Authoritative and cutting-edge, Pollen Cryopreservation Protocols aims to serve as reference for researchers studying plant breeding and plant conservation biology.

Includes cutting-edge methods and protocols Provides step-by-step detail essential for reproducible results Contains key notes and implementation advice from the experts
