Cryopreservation of Hazelnut (<i>Corylus avellana</i> L.) Axillary Buds from <i>In Vitro</i> Shoots Using the Droplet Vitrification Method

Cryopreservation by droplet vitrification was applied to hazelnut (<i>Corylus avellana</i> L.). axillary buds of the Italian cultivated variety Tonda Gentile Romana, which were collected from <i>in vitro</i> growing shoots, immersed in ice cooled PVS2 or PVS3 for 60 or 90 min...

description Cryopreservation by droplet vitrification was applied to hazelnut (<i>Corylus avellana</i> L.). axillary buds of the Italian cultivated variety Tonda Gentile Romana, which were collected from <i>in vitro</i> growing shoots, immersed in ice cooled PVS2 or PVS3 for 60 or 90 min, then transferred to a droplet of vitrification solution, placed on a strip of aluminium foil, and plunged into liquid nitrogen (LN). Additionally, the effect on the recovery of the mother plant after cryopreservation was evaluated, following a cold pre-treatment at 4 °C for 3 months. The highest regrowth percentage (56.7%) was obtained after applying PVS3 for 60 min, while the application of PVS2 for the same amount of time reduced regrowth to 41.5%. Increasing the exposure to vitrification solutions to 90 min reduced regrowth to 43.3% when PVS3 was applied, and 35.6% if PVS2 was used. The cold pre-treatment on the mother plant did not significantly improve overall regrowth. The cryopreservation process did not decline the rooting ability of the recovered shoots.
