Virus transmission in Amaryllid seeds?

Seeds are fortunately the only common way to obtain virus free material, but there is no way to propagate clean material of the immense number of hybrids/varieties around that are infected. Sadly.

Subject: [pbs] Virus transmission in Amaryllid seeds?

This discussion of possible viruses in x Amarcrinum reminded me of some
discussions we had in the past about viruses in some Amaryllis "Multiflora"
bulbs.

Was there ever a consensus on whether viruses can be transmitted through the
seeds of amaryllids that have fleshy seeds? I'm just wondering how much
risk there is when we trade them around.
