Indoor Plant Genetic Preservation

FAQ About Indoor Plant Genetic Preservation

How is cryopreservation different from seed banking?

Cryopreservation involves freezing plant tissues or cells at extremely low temperatures, typically in liquid nitrogen, to preserve their viability indefinitely. Unlike seed banking, which merely slows down biological activity, cryopreservation essentially halts it completely, allowing for long-term storage of plant materials that may not produce viable seeds.
