Background: Bleeding heart (Lamprocapnos spectabilis (L.) Fukuhara) is a popular vegetatively-propagated ornamental and medicinal plant species with recalcitrant seeds. Efforts have been made to increase the species diversity. However, there has been no research related to cryopreservation of any Fumariaceae species.
Objective: The aim of this study was to develop a cryopreservation protocol of Lamprocapnos spectabilis 'White Gold', and to evaluate genetic stability of the recovered plantlets.
Materials And Methods: Shoot tips precultured on Murashige and Skoog medium enriched with 9% sucrose and 10 µM abscisic acid were embedded in 3% calcium alginate, osmotically dehydrated in a sucrose gradient, and then air-desiccated for 0 to 5 h. After storing in liquid nitrogen (LN), the rewarmed shoot tips were placed on recovery media with various plant growth regulators. Morphometric analysis of the recovered shoots was performed. The genetic stability was evaluated using RAPD, ISSR and SCoT markers.
Results: The highest recovery of cryopreservation-derived explants (31.3 - 36.4%) was reported after 4-h desiccation and regrowth on cytokinin-supplemented medium. Shoots recovered from explants subjected to this cryoprocedure were longer and of higher fresh weight compared with the control. Cryopreservation also positively affected the further development of leaves. No genetic variation was detected by any of the three marker systems tested.
Conclusion: Lamprocapnos spectabilis shoot tips have a limited dehydration tolerance. However, stress related to the cryoprocedure positively affects the development of shoots. Even though cryopreservation affects the viability of explants, it does not alter their DNA sequence.

Pistils of Fumarioideae (Papaveraceae) show diversity in morphology, whether it is involved in the formation of flower symmetry is unclear for pistil morphogenesis and ovule development characteristic are poorly known. In this study, seven species of Fumarioideae were studied under SEM, LM and TEM, six developmental stages can be recognized: pistil initiation, circular bulge fusion, ascidiate structure formation, stigma and ovary differentiation (including ovule initiation), pistil development (including stigma specialization and ovule development) and pistil maturation. All syncarpous pistils were fused by two carpels, and stigmas in different shape were all derived from the two horns which formed by dorsal suture extension, e.

Purpose: Studying the role of nanoparticles in plant cryopreservation is essential for developing innovative methods to conserve plant genetic resources amid environmental challenges. This research investigated the effects of gold (AuNPs), silver (AgNPs), and zinc oxide (ZnONPs) nanoparticles on the structural integrity, genetic stability, and metabolic activity of cryopreserved plant materials with medicinal properties.
Methods: Shoot tips from two bleeding heart ( (L).

The integration of nanoparticles (NPs) holds promising potential to bring substantial advancements to plant cryopreservation, a crucial technique in biodiversity conservation. To date, little attention has been focused on using nanoparticles in cryobiology research. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of NPs in enhancing the efficiency of plant cryopreservation.
