Abstract
In the Indonesian Citrus Variety Improvement Programme all varieties are being cleaned up by shoot-tip grafting (STG) without preliminary heat treatment. Amongst mandarins, 80% of regrafted plants originating from STG are negative for citrus tristeza virus (CTV) by enzymelinked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), whereas the corresponding figure for sweet oranges is only 60%. Of the sweet oranges showing positive for CTV by ELlSA 31% eventually show stem-pitting. Although some plants without stem-pitting give a high optical density (OD) readings by ELlSA there is a significant difference in mean OD between those plants with stem-pitting and those without. The average time of recording for stem-pitting is 18 months after STG. There appears to be varietal differences in the ability of STG to separate out stem-pitting strains.
