The cryopreservation of ornamental crops or plants genetic diversity is essential for conserving biodiversity, cultural heritage, and economic value in horticulture. Cryopreservation, which involves conserving these genetic resources at extremely low temperatures, i.e., in liquid nitrogen (LN), provides a reliable solution for maintaining genetic integrity over long periods. Unlike traditional methods such as seed banks and field collections, which face risks from pest infestations, genetic drift, and environmental changes, cryopreservation offers indefinite storage with minimal maintenance. This method is particularly advantageous for ornamental species with recalcitrant seeds or those that rely on vegetative propagation, such as orchids, lilies, and rare flowering shrubs. Optimizing protocols for cryopreserving explants such as shoot tips, seeds, pollen, or somatic embryos is critical, along with pretreatment methods such as dehydration and vitrification, to increase success rates. Advances in cryoprotectants and recovery techniques further improve post-thaw viability. In an era of rapid urbanization and a growing demand for sustainable landscaping, cryopreservation safeguards the aesthetic and ecological value of ornamental plants. It also facilitates the restoration of endangered species, ensuring future breeding potential and cultural significance. This strategy supports biodiversity conservation and sustainable horticultural practices, contributing to ecological balance and innovative landscaping.
