Cryopreservation of Alkaloid-Producing Cell Cultures of Periwinkle (Catharanthus roseus) [PDF]
A procedure for cryogenic storage of alkaloid producing cell lines of periwinkle, Catharanthus roseus (L.) G. Don., has been developed. The procedure differs from established cryopreservation protocols in several aspects. Specifically, 4-day-old suspension subcultures of three cell lines were precultured in nutrient media supplemented with 1 molar ...
