Abstract

The aim of the present work was to assess the potential of lily virus elimination by tissue culture in vitro. The medium used for explants was based on Murashige and Skoog medium. Plantlets regenerated from explants were examined by electron microscopy. Plantlets from basal parts of the petals and of basal pieces of leaves used as explants resulted in the best virus elimination. In conclusion, tissue culture is applicable for virus elimination in lily cultivars and hybrids but the success depends on the type of explants.

Key words: explant, lily in vitro, regeneration, virus elimination.
