The book represents basic information about viral-caused and
viral-like diseases in many weeds. Many scientific reports have
demonstrated that weeds serve as a reservoir or alternative hosts
for geminivirus genera (eg: Begomovirus) for survival and spread in
the absence of main crops. This book represents a tip of the
iceberg of the diversity of begomoviruses in weeds. The recognition
that geminivirus strains are capable of rapidly diverging through
multiple mechanisms, underscores the need for accurate molecularly
based methods that permit detection and tracking of biologically
significant variants. Molecular approaches must combine knowledge
of biology, ecology and the ability to monitor both conserved
sequences and specific sites, most likely to undergo alteration
with phylogenetic predictions to facilitate accurate identification
and tracking of begomovirus variants and to also recognise new or
resurgent viruses. Establishing databases of baseline sequences for
extant viruses will permit future comparisons in establishing and
interpreting disease patterns and associated trends for vector
populations. With the development of reliable computational
recombination detection tools and an increasing number of available
genome sequences, many studies have reported evidence of
recombination in a wide range of virus genera. The book also
focuses on the first geminivirus database (GVDB) that contains
biotic, molecular and in silico information which will permit rapid
and accurate begomovirus identification and the selection of
relevant viral species for the development of disease
resistance/management strategy to the geminiviruses specific to
individual crop production areas. To close, there is one chapter on
the international and national status of geminivirus infection in
various host weeds. Furthermore, the book's heart discusses the
most recent cutting-edge of research that makes this book essential
reading for everyone, from researchers to scholars to students,
working with molecular and computational aspects of geminivirus
research as well as scientists already familiar with the area.
