Fundamentals of Plant Cryopreservation: Tracking the Permeation of Cryoprotectants into Living Shoot Tip Sections

In this webinar, Heidi Kreckel will present key findings from her Ph.D. research on tracking cryoprotectant permeation into living peppermint (Mentha x piperita) shoot tips. She will also discuss the use of a vibrating microtome to prepare plant shoot tip sections for live-tissue microscopy experiments, highlighting how the Compresstome vibratome facilitates precise sectioning for high-resolution imaging.​
