Seed-borne plant virus diseases (2013, methodology): “In recent years, the technique of cryotherapy of shoot tips has been used to eliminate virus and virus-like pathogens from the infected germplasm of vegetatively propagated plants like banana and temperate fruits (Wang et al. 2009).”
Biotechnology and Conservation of Plant Biodiversity (2013, background): “Therefore, it has the potential to replace more traditional methods like meristem culture, chemo- and thermo-therapy [49,146].”
Management of Virus and Viroid Diseases of Crops in the Tropics (2014, background): “Cryopreservation protocols have been developed for a wide variety of plant species, including agricultural and horticultural crops and ornamental plants, and can be used as such or adjusted for the purpose of cryotherapy (Wang et al. 2009).”
Review. Elimination of viruses in plants: twenty years of progress (2013, background): “In the field of thermotherapy, cryotherapy represents a whole new approach (Nukari et al., 2009; Wang & Valkonen, 2009; Wang et al., 2009).”
