The knowledge of ecology and epidemiology of rhizomania is
particularly useful to understand the means and practices able to
limit or avoid its further diffusion. Some promising methods of
biological control using coexisting and non-pathogenic organisms
could potentially help improve the action of the not completely
effective genetic resistances. This integrated protection would be
valuable, especially in the even more frequent development of
resistance-breaking strains in the BNYVV, where the known types of
resistance, alone or in combination, seem to have lost part of
their original ability to protect the crop. Therefore, further
efforts will be needed to discover new traits likely still present
in the wild species of the genus Beta. The availability of large
collections of germplasm stored in the International Beta
gene-banks should ensure the enhanced efficiency of genetic
resistance by means of conventional and marker-assisted selection
methods. Some almost immune transgenic varieties seem already to be
waiting for release where and when it will be possible. The
introduction chapter describes briefly the sugar beet crop, the
more common diseases, and the damage caused by rhizomania. The
following chapters discuss biological properties of the causal
virus, BNYVV, and its vector, Polymyxa betae, and their
interactions with the environment and the host-plant. In
particular, the great advances in research of the molecular biology
of BNYVV should be noteworthy, which have been established by a
wide range of the most modern methods. Recent work focused on the
genetic diversity and evolution of BNYVV is moving forward our
understanding of the dramatic worldwide epidemics of rhizomania.
Newly developed molecular techniques also lead to practical
applications, such as quantification of inoculum in ecological and
epidemiological research.
