Proceed<strong>in</strong>g of the 4 rd International Symposium“NEW RESEARCH IN BIOTECHNOLOGY” USAMV Bucharest, Romania, 2011plants, therefore the use virus-free v<strong>in</strong>es for multiplication and new v<strong>in</strong>eyard establish<strong>in</strong>gis required (F. MANNINI [1]). In cases of high <strong>in</strong>ci<strong>de</strong>nce of <strong>in</strong>fectious diseases <strong>in</strong> breed<strong>in</strong>gv<strong>in</strong>eyards and impossibility to select authentic and disease-free material of a particularvariety or rootstock, several techniques are be<strong>in</strong>g applied for virus elim<strong>in</strong>ation (I.TSVETKOV & al. [ 2]).The meristem culture and thermotherapy are <strong>in</strong>dividually or <strong>in</strong> comb<strong>in</strong>ation themost frequent methods of obta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g virus-free grapev<strong>in</strong>es (G. GRAMMATIKAKI & A.AVGELIS [3]; B. KŘIŽAN & al. [4]) The application of heat treatment for viruselim<strong>in</strong>ation<strong>in</strong> plants is time and energy consum<strong>in</strong>g and needs special equipments(chambers for heat treatment). In the case of the meristem culture, the percent of viruselim<strong>in</strong>ation is <strong>in</strong>fluenced by the genotype, the type of the virus and especially of thedifficulty of meristem excision.Virus-elim<strong>in</strong>ation techniques such as: chemotherapy (A. PANATTONI & al.[5]), electrotherapy <strong>in</strong> cont<strong>in</strong>uous electric field (I.C. GUȚĂ & al. [6]), cryotherapy (SH.BAYATI & al. [7]), somatic embryogenesis (G. GAMBINO & al. [8]) and theircomb<strong>in</strong>ations are consi<strong>de</strong>red alternative method to thermotherapy. Each of the listedmethod <strong>in</strong>volves one stage of <strong>in</strong> vitro culture.Is well known the use of electric current <strong>in</strong> the clean<strong>in</strong>g of viral diseases <strong>in</strong> plants;<strong>in</strong>stead, a <strong>de</strong>ep knowledge of this phenomenon theoretical basis is not yet available. Theexperiments <strong>de</strong>monstrated that the clean<strong>in</strong>g process nature is, essentially, the effect of theviral prote<strong>in</strong> <strong>de</strong>naturation, by means of the heat to which they were exposed <strong>in</strong> the thermalbath that the vegetal tissue constitutes (J.E GONZÁLES & al. [9]).Electrotherapy has been applied successfully to eradicate potato virus X fromdifferent <strong>in</strong>fected potato clones (H.F. LOZOYA-SALDAÑA & al. [10]); dasheen mosaicvirus <strong>in</strong> malanga (J. IGARZA CASTRO & al. [11]; banana streak virus <strong>in</strong> banana (P.R.HERNÁNDEZ & al. [12]).The electrotherapy for GFLV elim<strong>in</strong>ation was <strong>in</strong>vestigated, as a more practicalalternative technique comparatively to heat therapy of virus <strong>in</strong>fected grapev<strong>in</strong>e, but notsatisfactory results have been obta<strong>in</strong>ed. However, the <strong>de</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>g of by enzyme-l<strong>in</strong>kedimmunosorbent assay (ELISA) values <strong>in</strong> function of the exposure period have beenregistered (J.G. BURGER [13]).The electrotherapy followed by <strong>in</strong> vitro culture of shoot apices produced 33.33–66.66% GLRaV-1+3 –free plants, regardless explant position of exposed grapev<strong>in</strong>e <strong>in</strong>cont<strong>in</strong>uous electric field (I.C. GUȚĂ & al. [14]).The aim of the present research was to elim<strong>in</strong>ate fanleaf virus (GFLV), arabismosaic virus (ArMV), leafroll associated virus 1 (GLRaV-1), leafroll associated virus 342
