Virus Eradication: Tissue
Culture of Meristems,
Thermotherapy, and
Chemotherapy
Phytopathogens such as nematodes, fungis, bacteria, phytoplasmas,
viruses and viroids, can be transmitted from infected to healthy potato
plants. Nevertheless, not all the cells become infected; sometimes
meristematic tissues are free of pathogens, which allows recovery of
healthy plants through techniques of in vitro meristem culture.
