“…Asparagus virus II is seedborne (Fujisawa et al 1983;Mink & Uyeda 1977;Uyeda & Mink 1981) with transmission observed as high as 65% . Limited attention has been given to the effects of virus infection on organogenesis in plant tissue cultures (Greno et al 1988;Murakishi 1962;Wilson & Eisa 1975) and there are no reports of research dealing with the effects of virus infection on the tissue culture of asparagus.…”

The impact of asparagus virus I (AV-I), a potyvirus, and asparagus virus II (AV-II), an ilarvirus, on micropropagation of field-grown asparagus was studied. Apical shoot tips excised from singly or doubly-infected plants were slow to develop roots and had a 15 to 75% reduction in survival in culture, respectively, compared to those excised from virus-free plants. The four virus infection groups were ranked: virus-free > AV-II > AV-I >AV-I & II for capacity of explants to both root and survive in vitro.Micropropagated plants infected with AV-II exhibited slight reductions in fresh and dry weights, with greater reductions associated with infection with AV-I and double infection, compared to the virus-free controls. Eighty-one virus-infected apical shoot tips yielded 7 (8.6%) virus-free clones, as determined by rub inoculation on indicator plants.
