In vitro Antiviral Chemical Treatment to BBTV-Infected Banana Cultures for Production of Virus-Free Plants
Abstract
Obtaining healthy plants from infected germplasm banana stocks is a major problem. Banana bunchy top virus (BBTV) is the most destructive pathogen for the banana crop. Production of virus-free plants is crucial for cultivation, germplasm conservation and their exchanges. In vitro shoot meristem culture is the most common method for producing disease-free planting material. However, BBTV can multiply with in vitro cultures too. Therefore, for eliminating BBTV, the shoot-tip culture was combined with exposure of antiviral drugs. For the purpose, viral infected cultures of Musa acuminata cv ‘Grand Naine’ were exposed to culture medium containing- ribavirin, acyclovir or adefovir for four weeks at different concentrations. Viral elimination was determined by amplification of viral-gene through a polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Only ribavirin was found effective in eliminating BBTV from banana cultures, to some extent, with sufficient survival rates.
