Begomoviruses are one of the most interesting plant viruses to
study for basic and applied research as they cause huge economic
losses to agriculture industries and farmers all over the world.
They belong to family Geminiviridae and are emergent plant viral
pathogens which cause diseases in various crops in the tropical and
subtropical regions. They are transmitted by the whitefly (B.
tabaci) and have either one (monopartite DNA-A) or two (bipartite
DNA-A and DNA-B) genomic components. DNA-A and DNA-B are of ~2600 -
2800 nucleotides each. A number of serious diseases of cultivated
crops of the Fabaceae, Malvaceae, Solanaceae and Cucurbitaceae
families are caused by Begomoviruses which are considered as threat
to their cultivation in many countries. Accurate diagnosis is
important for successful diseases management, since plants infected
by Begomovirus do not recover, suffer serious yield losses and act
as further sources of inoculum, which is then picked up and spread
by their vector whitefly (B. tabaci). Reports of occurrence of new
viruses and re-emergence of several known viruses in new niches
have become regular event. In such a dynamic system, growth of
several crop species relies on an accurate diagnosis, management
and better understanding of the biology of the casual virus. This
is crucial to evolve appropriate control practices and to prevent
the virus infection. Researchers have achieved considerable
progress in characterization, detection and management of virus on
different crop species in the last decade. This book covers latest
information in diagnosis of begomoviruses in the present scenario
and explores the new vistas in the field of genomics and
proteomics. Chapters in Section 1 illustrates the occurrence,
genome organisation, transmission and diagnostics of begomoviruses.
It also details the diseases caused by begomoviruses on different
crops, detection techniques and management strategies in support of
research findings by presentation of data, graphics, figures and
tables. Section 2 is a chapterwise collection of occurrence,
diversity and status of begomoviruses in Asian Africa counties
where the diseases are most prevalent. This book will provide wide
opportunity to the readers to have complete information and status
of begomovirus in Asia and Africa. This will be useful resource for
researchers and extension workers involved in the begomvirus
disease diagnosis and molecular biology. Expert detection, accurate
diagnosis and timely management play a significant role in keeping
plants free from pathogens. In this book expert researchers share
their research knowledge and literature which are vital towards the
diagnosis of begomoviruses, addressing traditional plant pathology
techniques as well as advanced molecular diagnostic approach. The
book deals with the economically important crops including fruits,
vegetables along with challenges in crop protection against
diseases caused by begomovirus. This will be resourceful and handy
for researcher, practitioners and also students.
