Q. Assertion (A):Thermotherapy combined with meristem (shoot-tip) culture is more effective than either method alone for eliminating certain plant viruses.

Reason (R): Some viruses such as Potato virus S (PVS) and Potato virus X (PVX) can only be eliminated when heat treatment is followed by shoot-tip culture, and larger shoot tips taken from heat-treated plants show better survival.

Q. Assertion (A): Prolonged cold treatment followed by shoot-tip culture can successfully eliminate plant viruses.

Reason (R):Exposure of chrysanthemum plants to 5°C for several months increased the proportion of virus-free plants for both chrysanthemum stunt virus and chrysanthemum chlorotic mottle virus.

Q. Assertion (A):Increasing the duration of cryotherapy improves virus elimination efficiency.

Reason (R):Extending cold treatment at 5°C from 4 months to 9.5 months increased virus-free frequencies for both CSV and CCMV.
