Abstract
Cryopreservation is a method of storage of frozen biological material in a very low temperature, usually in liquid nitrogen (-196° C). The paper is a review of literature concerning cryopreservation of plant material from in vitro culture with regard to methods, conditions and possibility of application in gene banks. Results of cryopreservation of different plant species were compared.
