  1. Data of shoot regrowth and ASGV preservation were measured after 8 weeks of post-culture following cryopreservation. Results of shoot regrowth are presented as mean ± SE and with different letter in the same column indicating significant differences at P < 0.05. Numbers in parenthesis are number of samples showing positive response to RT-PCR/total number of samples tested
