| Abstract | Odontoglossum ringspot tobamovirus (ORV) was eradicated from Cymbidium by chemotherapy based on incorporation of ribavirin (as VIRAZOLE) into the in vitro culture medium of protocorms. Applications of the virustatic agent for several consecutive subcultures freed protocorms of the virus. Acclimatized plantlets regenerated from these protocorms were healthy as determined by ELISA. No resurgence of virus occurred over a period of 5 years. Trueness to type was total for colour and morphology of flowers and the batch of plants grown on was perfectly homogeneous. To secure fast and effective eradication of the virus during the consecutive subcultures of protocorms with ribavirin, 3 factors were important: accurate isolation of new growths from initial tissues, ribavirin concn and frequency of transplanting in new media. |
