This review deals with the cryopreservation of oil palm as a way to preserve this important tropical germplasm. Somatic embryos have been the most popular source of material for cryopreservation as they are propagules that are effectively produced during micropropagation. In contrast, fewer studies exist on the cryopreservation of pollen, zygotic embryos, seeds, kernels and embryogenic cell suspensions. This review highlights the ideal protocols, in detail, in a bid to offer guidance for further advances in oil palm cryopreservation. specialized Oil palm Organogenesis Somatic embryo Zygotic embryo 076 77 82-88 2017 0011-2240 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010070831 10.1016/j.cryobiol.2017.04.007 0011-2240 [F B010070831] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010070831 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/2017/08/010070831.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2017-09-05 2018-01-02 fdi:010070831 fre
