Popis:	An increasing number of ornamental crops are being multiplied in vitro. In this article, the application of meristem culture to plants free from viruses is reviewed and is shown to be useful and cost-effective. First, a literature survey is given on results of meristem culture applied to ornamentals and on damage due to virus diseases. Secondly trials and results with lily, Alstroemeria and Delphinium and their viruses are discussed. Virus-free plants have a considerable surplus value compared with infected plants. Additional advantages are that a virus-free crop cannot be a source of contamination for other varieties of the same crop, and that there are no phytosanitary limitations
