Plant conservation, seed bank, shoot tip bank, PVS2 vitrification, PVS2…
Plant conservation
-
Germplasm conservation
-
in situ
-
-
Gene sanctuary
-
/ Not only conserve the existing population, but allows evolution to continue
-
-
-
-
seed bank
Types of collection
-
Active collection
-
to evaluate, multiply and distribute the accession.
the seeds is maintained by multiplying the seeds of their own accession to prevent shift in genetic makeup
-
Storability
Recalcitrant seeds
Reduction drastically in seed viability after being dried to 12-30% (eg. tropical plant, citrus, rubber, oil palm)
-
-
-
easy, safe, minimum space, 50-100yrs
store in tin, container, or plastic
-
PVS2 vitrification
Plant vitrification solution 2 is a solution which comprise a highly concentration cocktail ethylene glycol, DMSO, and glycerol
Replacement of vitrification solution with water in cells to form a non-crystalline glass like structure.
-
Advantage: no special equipment is needed, fast procedure, fast recovery
Disadvantage: toxic vitrification solution in room temp., cracking possible, timing of solution change critically.
PVS2 droplet freezing
-
-
Advantage: No special equipment needed, relatively non-toxic cryoprotectant, relatively simple
Disadvantage: precise meristem excision,limited species applicability(to date)
-
plant/field bank
-
-
eg. Malaysia(MARDI, RRIM, FRIM)
Limitation: require large area, expensive to maintain/establish, disease&insect attack, human error, natural disaster.
-
DNA bank
-
Segment of DNA is extracted from the genome of germplasm and maintained as cosmid clones, phage lysate or pure DNA
-
-
-
-
**Germplasm is liveing part of plant which can grown into a new plant. eg. seed, leaf, stem
eg. Penang botanical garden, IRRI for rice seed
-
-
(fast test) Viability test can be done easily by applying triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC) on the explant and view it under spectophotometer as the agent react with dehydrogenase enzyme in Krebs cycle of the explant that shows its vability.
