Explanation

Tissue culture, specifically meristem culture, is the technique used to produce virus-free plants. The meristem (apical meristem) is typically free of viruses, and when cultured in vitro, it develops into a virus-free plant. This method has been successfully used for potatoes, tulips, sugarcane, orchids, and many other crops to eliminate viral infections.
