In vitro clonal propagation to eliminate crop diseases
Diseases caused by viruses and viroids are particularly important in asexually propagated crops because once the crop is infected, its propagula transmit the disease indefinitely, and effect severe yield and quality losses. Shoot-tip culture techniques used to recover healthy cassava and potato clones have resulted in dramatic yield increases in several cassava cultivars. Changes in plant and leaf morphology accompanied yield increase in a local cassava cultivar after in vitro propagation
