Summary Potato shoot tips excised from 2-week-old in vitro nodal cuttings were cryopreserved after encapsulation in alginate beads. Encapsulated shoot tips were first precultured in sucroseenriched media, dried over silica gel, and rapidly cooled in liquid nitrogen. After slow rewarming in air at room temperature, alginate beads were transferred to solid culture medium for shoot tip recovery. After cooling in liquid nitrogen, shoot yield depended on preculture duration, sucrose concentration and water content of beads. Survival rates above 60% were obtained for each cultivar tested.
