Abstract

While the majority of plant species are preferably conserved by seed storage, those which are normally vegetatively propagated present special problems. As they are mainly outbreeders, they tend to be highly heterozygous, and they often exhibit low fertility. In potato, much of the collected germplasm is fertile and seed can be stored quite satisfactorily for conservation purposes, assuming that controlled pollination has been undertaken to minimize genetic drift with successive reproductive cycles. However, there is usually a need for long-term storage of some vegetative material, either because of sterility problems or because of the need to conserve valuable gene complexes in particular clones.
