    Notes: Abstract Cultured cells and somatic embryos derived from the mesophyll tissue of asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.) were cryopreserved by vitrification. The vitrification solution (PVS) contains (w/v) 22% glycerol, 15% ethylene glycol, 15% propylene glycol and 7% DMSO in Murashige-Skoog medium enriched with 0.5M sorbitol. After initial cryoprotection with sorbitol supplemented MS medium containing 12% ethylene glycol, cells or embryos were exposed stepwise to 85% PVS at 0°C. They were loaded into 0.5 ml transparent straws, and were then plunged directly into liquid nitrogen. After rapid warming, PVS was removed and diluted stepwise. The highest survivals of vitrified cells and embryos were about 65 and 50%, respectively. Surviving embryos developed into plantlets.

    Notes: Summary A culture line of asparagus forming green bulbous structures consisting of numerous multiple bud clusters designated “bud clusters” was induced from a meristem culture of asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.cv. Hiroshimagreen, 2n=30). Small cubic segments (2 mm3) cut from bud clusters were cryopreserved using three different cryogenic protocols. Only vitrification produced very high levels of shoot formation after cooling to −196°C. Segments were treated with a vitrification solution (PVS2) at 25°C for 45 min or at 0°C for 120 min prior to a direct plunge into liquid nitrogen. After rapid warming, the segments were expelled into Murashige and Skoog medium containing 1.2 M sucrose for 10 min and then plated on agar shoot outgrowth medium. The average rate of shoot formation of vitrified segments producing normal shoots was near 90% without any preculture and/or cold-acclimation treatment. Revived segments resumed growth within 3 days and developed about three shoots per segment. In vitro-cultured bud clusters appear promising as material for cryopreserving asparagus germplasm.
