Popis: Vanilla planifolia Jacks. ex Andrews is the vanilla species with the most commercial and greatest economic importance. It has been used as a case study in different cryopreservation studies that involve three vitrification-based approaches: droplet-vitrification (D-V), V-cryoplate (V-Cp) and D-cryoplate (D-Cp). The aim of this study was to compare the impact of these cryogenic techniques on vegetative growth (survival, stem length and leaf number) between cryo-derived plants and in vitro-derived controls during 12 months of greenhouse growth. Genetic stability was also assessed using the inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers. There were no significant differences found in the survival and stem lengths of the in vitro-derived regenerants and cryo-derived plants. A significant increase in the number of leaves was only detected in cryo-derived plants when using the V-Cp method. The electrophoretic profiles, based on seven ISSR primers, detected low variability: 81 total bands and 27% polymorphism. This is the first report on the assessment of vegetative growth and genetic integrity in cryo-derived V. planifolia plants recovered under greenhouse conditions. Of the three cryogenic approaches, D-Cp appears to yield V. planifolia regenerants plants with more vigorous vegetative growth and a lower level of polymorphism. Future research should focus on the reproductive growth of vanilla regenerants.
