Solution

The explants used for the production of virus-free plants are from shoot meristem.

Explanation:

Shoot meristems are generally free from viruses even when the rest of the plant is infected, so meristem culture can produce virus-free plants. Leaves, embryos and anthers are not the standard explant for this purpose.
