Shoot-tip Culture of Peanut for Elimination of Peanut Mottle Virus�
Abstract
The focus of this study was to develop improved techniques for the culture of peanut tisstie.and examine the applicability of these techniques for elimination of peanut mottle virus ( PMV) from selected peanut germp.lasm. Methods for successful tip culture of peanut were developed, tip culture in conjunction with thermotherapy,� chemotherapy, or both thermotherapy and chemotherapy were studied for elimination of PMV from peanut plants. Serology and indicator hosts were used to. evaluate the effectiveness of the treatments for PMV elimination. The findings of this study should be useful for the control of PMV in vegetatively propagated peariut germplasm.
