Abstract

Garlic being non-flowering and clonally propagated species, geneticimprovement through breeding techniques is not applicable. Further forgetting higher production non-availability of disease-free quality plantingmaterial is a big hurdle. Besides, soil-borne diseases, virus infection playsa crucial role not only in reducing yield but degenerate quality and potentialof planting material. Therefore, availability of user-friendly virus eliminationtechnique will be a breakthrough in production and generation of virusfreegarlic planting material.
