This volume of the series The Plant Viruses is devoted to viruses
with rod-shaped particles belonging to the following four groups:
the toba- moviruses (named after tobacco mosaic virus), the
tobraviruses (after to- bacco rattle), the hordeiviruses (after the
latin hordeum in honor of the type member barley stripe mosaic
virus), and the not yet officially rec- ognized furoviruses
(fungus-transmitted rod-shaped viruses, Shirako and Brakke, 1984).
At present these clusters of plant viruses are called groups
instead of genera or families as is customary in other areas of
virology. This pe- culiarity of plant viral taxonomy (Matthews,
1982) is due to the fact that the current Plant Virus Subcommittee
of the International Committee of Taxonomy of Viruses is deeply
split on what to call the categories or ranks used in virus
classification. Some plant virologists believe that the species
concept cannot be applied to viruses because this concept,
according to them, necessarily involves sexual reproduction and
genetic isolation (Milne, 1984; Murant, 1985). This belief no doubt
stems from the fact that these authors restrict the use of the term
species to biological species. According to them, a collection of
similar viral isolates and strains does constitute an individ- ual
virus, i. e. , it is a taxonomy entity separate from other
individual viruses.
