Abstract
Virus infection seriously limits stone fruit production.
The most important viral pathogen is Plum pox virus (PPV). However, other viruses, such as Prune dwarf virus (PDV) and Prunus necrotic ringspot virus (PNRSV) also represent major threats.
In this paper, results of in vitro treatments are compared with those of in vivo thermotherapy (i.e., treatment of plants in a peat substrate) to eliminate PPV, PDV, and PNRSV from three apricot varieties, including ‘Bergeron’, ‘Leskora’, and ‘Marlen’. Therapy takes 45 days under temperature 37°C (in light) and 35°C (in dark) and photoperiod 16h (light) and 8h (dark) in both cases.
Following treatment, shoot tips (3 mm long) were collected from plants and cultured in vitro.
Plants originating from these shoot tips were tested by RT-PCR and ELISA following transfer to non-sterile conditions for either 6 or 12 months, respectively.
No differences were detected between the two methods of treatment.
However, differences in numbers of dead plants during treatment and during culture of apical segments.
