Development Of Methods For The Rapid Detection And Elimination Of Virus Diseases Of Garlic
This project was undertaken to identify the viruses present in Australian garlic and to produce antisera for the development of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, to eliminate the viruses of particular garlic cultivars through tisse culture of the meristems and to maintain a nucleus of these cultivars as pathogen-tested stock, and to develop improved methods for tissue culture production of garlic.
