Germplasm resources are the foundation of new variety breeding and original innovations in agricultural science and technology, and they are a strategic resource for ensuring national food security. Cryopreservation technology, currently the only feasible and non-subsequent reproduction method for long-term preservation, is crucial for the conservation of plant germplasm resources. With years of development and innovation, this technology has been applied to more fields. The International Symposium on Plant Cryopreservation has established an international academic exchange platform, which not only enhances the academic soft power of various countries but also promotes the innovation, exploration, and utilization of plant germplasm resources.

The V International Symposium on Plant Cryopreservation will be held from October 14 to 18, 2025 in Beijing, China. The symposium will invite well-known experts from both domestic and international institutions for keynote speeches. We encourage researchers and industry professionals to submit papers and present their research in oral or poster sessions. The details are as follows:
