Indoor Plant Genetic Preservation

FAQ About Indoor Plant Genetic Preservation

What methods are used in indoor plant genetic preservation?

There are several methods used in the genetic preservation of indoor plants, including:

  • Seed Banking: Storing seeds at low temperatures to maintain viability over long periods.
  • Tissue Culture: Propagating plants from a few cells in a controlled, sterile environment.
  • Cryopreservation: Freezing plant tissues or seeds at very low temperatures to halt biological activity and preserve genetic material.
  • DNA Banking: Storing DNA samples of plant species for future research and breeding purposes.
