We tried to identify the critical factors causing differences in survival of cryopreserved shoot tips using potato varieties coming from cultivated and wild species. The droplet-vitrification method, a combination of droplet-freezing and solution-based vitrification, was selected from several protocols. High survival after freezing was observed after dehydration with PVS2 for 20 min, cooling shoot tips placed in a droplet of PVS2 solution on aluminum foil strips by immersing the foil strips in liquid nitrogen, warming them by plunging the foil strips into a 0.8 M sucrose solution (at 40 degrees C) for 30 s and unloading in 0.8 M sucrose for 30 min. This optimized protocol was successfully applied to 12 accessions with survival ranging between 64.0 and 94.4%. %$ 076
