Tissue culture techniques for virus elimination and germplasm preservation
Kartha, K.K.
Tissue culture techniques for virus elimination and germplasm preservation - 1984 - Printed
Illustrations, tables, literature cited p. 279-282
Information which refers to a wide range of crops is reviewed on (1) virus elimination by meristem culture; (2) chemical suppression of plant viruses (by incorporation of antimetabolites or drugs into culture media); (3) virus elimination in culture as a result of somatic variation, chance or deliberate selection of uninfected cells, gamma irradiation of infected callus or somatic hybridization; and (4) tissue culture and germplasm preservation (mostly information on cryopreservation).
