Sweetpotato, (Ipomoea batatas L.), is vegetatively propagated crop. Due to the following cycles of propagation, viruses are accumulated, which contributes to the decline of sweetpotato yield and quality. Stem cuttings of Abees cultivar were collected from several locations in Egypt and kept under controlled greenhouse conditions. Samples were tested for …

This publication describes some of methods that are applied for virus ellimination.

Virus elimination will be carried out in all materials maintained or generated at CIP, and prior to its distribution. The virus elimination technique is based on thermotherapy and meristem culture. Clones, which have tested negative to all known pathogens, using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay on nitrocellulose membranes (NCM-ELISA) and the indicator …

This set of slides illustrates how to carry out virus elimination by use of thermotherapy.
