Answer:

Cryopreservation

Plant Vitrification Solution 2 (PVS2) and Plant Vitrification Solution 3 (PVS3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Cryo-preservation or cryo-conservation is defined as the process of preservation of all cellular and structural elements such as cells, organelles, tissues, organs, or any other biological constructs by cooling to very low temperatures.

Two commonly used solutions in plants for this purpose are Plant Vitrification Solution 2 (PVS2) and Plant Vitrification Solution 3 (PVS3). Plant Vitrification Solution 2 (PVS2) is consists of, w/v, 0.4 M sucrose, 30% glycerol, 15% DMSO and 15% ethylene glycol and Plant Vitrification Solution 3 (PVS3) comprising, w/v, 50% sucrose and 50% glycerol.

Hence, the correct answer is "Cryopreservation

Plant Vitrification Solution 2 (PVS2) and Plant Vitrification Solution 3 (PVS3) "
