Virus free plant of Velvet bean growing in tissue culture
Velvet bean (Mucuna pruriens) accessions were infected with seedborne viruses at the ILRI genebank. Plants were successfully cleaned through tissue culture techniques, making them available for further germplasm distribution to the end users - farmers that want to grow healthy forages.
