Abstract:Cinchona officinalis has experienced anthropogenic pressures for nearly 400 years, such as overexploitation, habitat fragmentation, and the subsequent reduction of genetic diversity. Additionally, the challenge of regeneration in its natural environment makes it a vulnerable species. In this context, various treatments for the in vitro conservation of explants were evaluated in the present study. For short-term conservation, the effects of osmotic substances such as sorbitol, mannitol, and sucrose at different… Show more
