Abstract:Viral infections pose significant threats to strawberry production. This study explored the efficacy of cryopreservation of shoot tips and meristem isolated from stolons to eradicate strawberry viruses, namely strawberry mottle virus (SMoV), strawberry mild yellow edge virus (SMYEV), strawberry crinkle virus (SCV), and strawberry vein banding virus (SVBV). The occurrence of viruses was verified by RT-PCR with specific primers. Results documented the elimination of SMoV and SCV but not of SMYEV and SVBV by cryo… Show more
