Abstract:Virus infections are a major constraint for black pepper cultivation (Piper nigrum L.), a vegetatively propagated crop; therefore, the in vitro selection of virus- free plants is an alternative to reestablish phytosanitary quality of pepper culture. The aim of this study was to select and micropropagate PYMoV virus-free pepper plants. ‘Apra’, ‘Bragantina’, ‘Cingapura’, ‘Clonada’, hybrids and ‘Kottanadan’ genotypes were used in the indexing process. From these, ‘Cingapura’, ‘Clonada’, hybrids and ‘Kottanadan’ w… Show more
