A comparision of four methods for cryopreservation of meristems in banana (Musa spp.) 

 -  Cryoletters, 25(2), p.101-110, 2004 .
<br/><br/> To establish an improved protocol for the cryopreservation of banana (Musa spp.), a fast-freeze/fast-thaw method was applied and compared to three existing cryogenic procedures, namely, simple freezing, vitrification of proliferating meristems and vitrification of individual meristems. The average post-thaw shoot regeneration of the fast freeze/fast thaw protocol was 51.8
