Viruses that infect plants are responsible for reduction in both
yield and quality of crops around the world, and thus are of great
economic importance. This has provided the impetus for the
extensive research into the molecular and cellular biology of these
pathogens and into their interaction with their plant hosts and
their vectors. However, interest in plant viruses extends beyond
their ability to damage crops. Many plant viruses - for example,
tobacco mosaic virus - have been used as model systems to provide
basic understanding of how viruses express genes and replicate.
Others permitted the elucidation of the processes underlying RNA
silencing, now recognized as a core epigenetic mechanism
underpinning numerous areas of biology. This book attests to the
huge diversity of research in plant molecular virology. Written by
world authorities in the field, the book opens with two chapters on
the translation and replication of viral RNA. Following chapters
cover topics such as viral movement within and between plants,
plant responses to viral infection, antiviral control measures,
virus evolution, and newly emerging plant viruses. The book
concludes with two chapters on biotechnological applications of
plant viruses. Throughout, the focus is on the most recent,
cutting-edge research, making this book essential reading for
everyone working with plant viruses.
