Meristem-tip culture for propagation and virus elimination.

elimination of potyviruses from two commercial iranian garlic (allium sativum l.) populations through thermotherapy and by meristem tip culture

elimination of potyviruses from two commercial iranian garlic populations, hamedan and azar-shahr, through thermotherapy and by meristem tip culture were investigated. the infected bulbs of either one of the populations were initially treated at 30o c for one week and then at 36oc for 5 weeks. the meristems of cloves at two sizes of 0.4-0.6 mm and 0.6-0.8 mm were then cultured on ms medium supp...

An appropriate method to determine the interaction type of Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) and Bean yellow mosaic virus (BYMV)

The occurrence of viral co-infection is a common phenomenon in cultivated and native plant species and can alter the dynamics of virus infection. In this study, disease progress was examined in single and mixed infections of Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) and Bean yellow mosaic virus (BYMV) by measuring the rate of symptom development, disease severity and area under disease progress curve on infe...

Thermotherapy, chemotherapy, and meristem culture in banana.

Bananas that provide a staple food to the millions of people are adversely affected by several viruses such as Banana bunchy Top Virus (BBTV), Banana Streak Virus (BSV), and Cucumber Mosaic Virus (CMV). These viruses are known to have a devastating effect on crop production and constraint to the international exchange and conservation of banana germplasm-a cornerstone for breeding new cultivars...

Purification and Serology of Bean Yellow Mosaic Virus

density-gradient centrifugation. ISCO fractionator scanning patterns indicated a high degree of purity but serological results revealed the presence of some host contaminates. The yield of virus was abeut 2mgfleOg of bro'ad bean leaves. The titer of the antiserum against isolate No. 30 was 1!2048 by ring precipitin tests. Although the iutact virus particles could n6t diffuse in agar gel plates,...
