Grandnan shoot tip explants grown in vitro.Chemotherapy treatments using four different chemical substances (as antiviral), ribavirin was used at 20.0, 40.0 and 60.0 mg/L,jasmonic acid was used at 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 mg/L,salicylic acid was added at 17.3, 34.5 and 69.0 mg/L,benzoic acid was used at 18.0, 36.0 and 72.0 mg/L. Also antiviral chemicals free-medium was investigated as control medium.Four different combinations of citric and ascorbic acids were investigated 50mg/L citric acid +100mg/ L ascorbic acid,100mg/L citric acid + 200mg/L ascorbic acid, 200mg/L citric acid + 400mg/L ascorbic acid and 400mg/L citric acid + 800mg/L ascorbic acid. In thermotherapy experiments the infected shoot tip explants incubated at 26±2{u00B0}C (control), at 35±2{u00B0}C, 40±2{u00B0}C or 45±2{u00B0}C for four weeks. Also the intermittent thermotherapy on infected shoot tip explants was investigated as the infected shoot tip explants incubated at 26±2{u00B0}C (control), at 35±2{u00B0}C for 16h darkness and transferred to incubated at 26±2{u00B0} for 8h light,40±2{u00B0}C for 16h darkness and transferred to incubated at 26±2{u00B0} for 8h light or 45±2{u00B0}Cfor 16h darkness and transferred to incubated at 26±2{u00B0} for 8h light for four weeks.In cryotherapy experiment infected shoot tip explants were cultured on preculture medium for 48h UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
