Description:Abstract:\n\nConserving crops in the face of climate change is 
 a paramount issue. Cryopreservation\, the process of storing living cells 
 and tissue at liquid nitrogen temperatures (LN\, -196 ˚C)\, has emerged a
 s the preferred method for long-term crop conservation\, enabling the pres
 ervation of everyday staple crops. Successful cryopreservation requires th
 e removal of freezable water from cells by osmotic dehydration. Subsequent
  vitrification (glass formation) is prompted by rapid cooling in LN. Cryop
 rotective agents are used to dehydrate and achieve tissue vitrification du
 ring the cooling in LN. The success of cryoprotectants is determined by ti
 ssue viability after warming. Although sucrose is a key ingredient in most
  plant vitrification solutions\, its function in preserving plant tissues 
 remains unclear. Understanding sucrose interaction with plant cells is ess
 ential to improve plant vitrification protocols. This talk will explore cu
 rrent methods used to probe sucrose-cell interactions. 4:00 pm
