Cryopreservation of Ribes

  • Chapter
Cryopreservation of Plant Germplasm II

Part of the book series: Biotechnology in Agriculture and Forestry ((AGRICULTURE,volume 50))

Abstract

The genus Ribes L., the currants and gooseberries, includes more than 150 described species of shrubs which are native throughout northern Europe, Asia, North America, and in mountainous areas of South America and northwest Africa (Brennan 1996). Only about 10 or 12 of these species comprise the primary gene pool from which domesticated currants and gooseberries were developed. The discussion in this chapter will focus on the background and cryopreservation of these economically important species.
