Abstract Shoot apices, excised from Citrus cultivars of known virus content, were successfully grafted in vitro onto disease-free rootstock seedlings and some virus-free plants were obtained. The prolonged juvenile phase which characterizes disease-free nucellar lines was bypassed by this procedure.
