Preserving the genetic diversity of plant resources is the main task of botanical gardens and other scientific research centers. The biotechnological method is considered one of the most effective and at the same time reproducible ways to preserve the plant gene pool. The cryopreservation method makes it possible to maintain living cells, tissues, and cultures at ultra-low temperatures (–196 °C) without genetic changes, it ensures the storage of biological materials for a long time. The article provides an overview of the main directions in the field of biotechnology and cryopreservation of plants.
