TRANSMISSION OF RASPBERRY BUSHY DWARF VIRUS (RBDV) IN RASPBERRY BY PROPAGATION VIA ETIOLATED SHOOTS |
| Author: | R.F. Hepp |
| Abstract:
In order to determine the transmission percentage of raspberry bushy dwarf virus (RBDV) in raspberry plants propagated via etiolated shoots, roots of RBDV-infected raspberry plants were harvested, washed, disinfected and planted in trays containing sterilized sand. Daughter plants obtained from these roots were tested serologically by the triple antibody sandwich technique (TAS-ELISA). The results indicate that a high proportion of the daughter plants obtained via etiolated shoots from RBDV-infected mother plants carry the virus. | |
