Method used to get virus free plant is - meristem culture.
Meristems are type of cells in plant which are undifferentiated and they are capable of producing tissues and organs.
Meristems are of two types - apical meristem, found on roots and shoots and lateral meristem found at cambium.
Meristem doesn't have vascular bundles, through which viruses usually are transported in plants.
Thus meristem remains virus free and hence it can used to obtain virus free plant.
