Email: marcel_research@yahoo.comAbstract Potatoes a high susceptibility to viral, bacterial <strong>and</strong> fungaldiseases impose production of virus free material for healthy seed productions<strong>in</strong>ce plant viruses are pathogens that cannot be destroyed by us<strong>in</strong>g plantprotection chemicals. Meristem tip culture technique is one of the most usedfor potato <strong>in</strong> vitro culture <strong>in</strong>itiation <strong>and</strong> is most of all used <strong>in</strong> order to obta<strong>in</strong>virus free plantlets. For this study six new Romanian potato cultivars wereused. Explants were prepared for tissue culture <strong>and</strong> half of them underwentchemical (us<strong>in</strong>g the antiviral chemical-ribavir<strong>in</strong>) treatement. Culture tubeswere <strong>in</strong>cubated at 20-21 o C <strong>in</strong> 16 hr photoperiod with 2000 lux light <strong>in</strong>tensityfor 6-8 weeks. Leaf samples of 10 plantlets of each cultivar were tested forviruses: PVS, PVY, PVX <strong>and</strong> PLRV by ELISA technique. Virus-free<strong>in</strong>dividuals were measured for several biometrical parameters <strong>and</strong>subcultured on fresh multiplication media for 4 weeks. Best virus freeproduction was obta<strong>in</strong>ed after Ribavir<strong>in</strong> treatment even if regenerationcapacity after chemical therapy decreased with around 10%.Key wordsmeristem tip culture, virusfreeplantlets regeneration,virus <strong>in</strong>dex<strong>in</strong>g, Solanumtuberosum L., Ribavir<strong>in</strong>Evaluation of some <strong>in</strong>direct <strong>in</strong>dices to identify droughttolerance <strong>in</strong> barleyVelicevici Giancarla 1 *, Madosă E. 1 , Şumălan R. 1 , Ciulca Adriana 1 , Petolescu Cerasela 11 University of Agricultural Sciences <strong>and</strong> Veter<strong>in</strong>ary Medic<strong>in</strong>e of Banat Timisoara, Faculty of Horticulture <strong>and</strong>Forestry, Calea Aradului 119, 300645, Romania*Correspond<strong>in</strong>g author.

Theosmotic stress were <strong>in</strong>duced by PEG 6000 solution with the osmotic potential( 0 Bars, -7.35 Bars) us<strong>in</strong>g method suggested by Kaufman, <strong>and</strong> replicatedthree time, at a temperature of 22±2 o C.
