Abstract:Obtaining virus-free plants is a crucial step in disease management that enables reliable and profitable fruit farming. The present study applied various in vitro virus elimination protocols, including apical shoot culture, chemotherapy, thermotherapy, cryotherapy, and their combination, to eliminate black mulberry Idaeovirus (BMIV) from sour black mulberry. First, a shoot tip (0.5–2 mm) culture protocol was optimized, and four ribavirin concentrations (0, 10, 20, and 30 mg/L) were investigated over five weeks… Show more
