Abstract

In vitro cultures of plum cv. Bluefree and apricot cv. Hanita infected with Plum pox virus (PPV) were used for the virus elimination by chemotherapy. Low ribavirin concentrations of 5 and 10 mg/l in Murashige-Skoog medium were applied in the treatment. Plum pox virus was completely eliminated by 5 mg/l of ribavirin in plum cv. Bluefree within twenty weeks and in apricot cv. Hanita in twelve weeks of the application. Plum pox virus was completely eliminated by 10 mg/l of ribavirin both in plum cv. Bluefree and apricot cv. Hanita within twelve weeks. The presence of PPV was not proved by RT-PCR. Clones of plum cv. Bluefree and apricot cv. Hanita were re-tested by RT-PCR one year after the termination of the ribavirin treatment and negative results confirmed the elimination of Plum pox virus.
