Abstract Plant tissue cultures from various species were stored at low temperatures or under mineral oil overlay for 4 to 6 months without subcultures. After transfer to normal culture conditions, it was checked, with 3 strains, that growth characteristics and secondary metabolite production were preserved. The storage with a mineral oil overlay (easy to run and economical method) could be a possible alternative to cryogenic or low temperature storage for a large number of strains.
