In vitro Antiviral Chemical Treatment to BBTV-Infected Banana Cultures for Production of Virus-Free PlantsBy Afaque Quraishi, Vikram Singh, Vijaya Koche
Abstract: Obtaining healthy plants from infected germplasm banana stocks is a major problem. Banana bunchy top virus (BBTV) is the most destructive pathogen for the banana crop. Production of virus-free plants is crucial for cultivation, germplasm conservation and their exchanges. In vitro shoot meristem culture is the most common method for producing disease-free planting material. However, BBTV can multiply with in vitro cultures too. Therefore, for eliminating BBTV, the shoot-tip culture …
