This book focuses on the evolution of plant viruses, their
molecular classification, epidemics and management, covering topics
relating to evolutionary mechanisms, viral ecology and emergence,
appropriate analysis methods, and the role of evolution in
taxonomy. The currently emerging virus species are increasingly
becoming a threat to our way of life, both economically and
physically. Plant viruses are particularly significant as they
affect our food supply and are capable of rapidly spreading to new
plant species. In basic research, plant viruses have become useful
models to analyze the molecular biology of plant gene regulation
and cell-cell communication. The small size of DNA genome of
viruses possesses minimal coding capacity and replicates in the
host cell nucleus with the help of host plant cellular machinery.
Thus, studying virus cellular processes provides a good basis for
explaining DNA replication, transcription, mRNA processing, protein
expression and gene silencing in plants. A better understanding of
these cellular processes will help us design antiviral strategies
for plants. The book provides in-depth information on plant virus
gene interactions with hosts, localization and expression and the
latest advances in our understanding of plant virus evolution,
their responses and crop improvement. Combining characterization of
plant viruses and disease management and presenting them together
makes it easy to compare all aspects of resistance, tolerance and
management strategies. As such, it is a useful resource for
molecular biologists and plant virologists alike.
