Download or read book Plant Viruses Evolution and Management written by Rajarshi Kumar Gaur and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-08-29 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Virus Diseases of Ornamental Plants written by S. K. Raj and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-11-13 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited book elucidates the evolution of plant virus, genomic structure, diversity, plant-virus interaction, subcellular movement etc. The book reviews the biological machineries which allow the emergence of virus populations adapted by plant. The main objective of this book is the demonstration of a clear synergistic effect of plant viruses, an effect that was unexpectedly as important as applied alone. Ornamental plants are very popular and economically important worldwide. The international market of ornamentals is constantly expanding. Viruses and viroids can significantly reduce both decorative value and quality of propagated material of ornamentals. Due to the wide range of ornamental plant species and cultivars and their wide geographical distribution, the diversity of viruses that infect them is also high. The new emerging viruses are the causal agent for the economic loss of many important ornamental plants. Therefore, this book also adds value to current knowledge of virus stress response in ornamental plants and will provide the groundwork necessary for building future strategies for product enhancement. This book is of interest to teachers, researchers, capacity builders and policymakers. It can serve as additional reading material for undergraduate and graduate students of virology, agriculture and plant sciences.

Understanding disease epidemiology is of vital importance for formulating viable disease management practices in a given agro-ecosystem. The development and progress of plant disease epidemics are variable from region to region. Epidemiology is not a static process, but rather a dynamic course that varies with a change in the ecology, host, vector and virus systems.
Download or read book VIRUS EVOLUTION AND MANAGEMENT UNDER CLIMATE CHANGE written by Joseph Thaddeus Walls and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the future, management practices of plant diseases will have to adapt to the changing climate and the consequent effect on the evolution of pathogens, and their interactions with plant and insect hosts. The research presented in this thesis focuses on management of plant viruses in response to climate change. A survey of Pennsylvania vineyards to determine the incidence of Grapevine leafroll-associated virus (GLRaV) is detailed in Chapter 2. This work is the first to study the incidence and impact of GLRaV disease (GLD) in Pennsylvania and, coupled with analyses of the effect of climatic variables on the impact of GLRaVs on grape juice quality, will set the way for determining appropriate management of GLD in vineyards across the state. Chapter 3 tests the effect of RNA interference (RNAi) on Tomato spotted wilt orthotospovirus (TSWV) evolution under different temperatures. RNAi is already deployed in management of plant viruses, yet we know little about its effects on virus evolution. Here we use an imperfect RNAi control to study the evolution of TSWV. After only 7 serial transmissions it was found that TSWV strains subjected to silencing were more virulent on control plants than TSWV strains evolved on control plants and that temperature has an effect on RNAi efficacy. The final chapter is a review of literature pertaining to the effects of climate change in Nepal. Here it is discussed how climate change may affect Nepalese agriculture in the future in terms of tomato production and viruses infecting tomato. With the data and interpretations presented in this thesis we strive to increase the knowledge of the effects of climate change and aid growers in creating better, more sustainable management regimens.
Download or read book Molecular Biology of Plant Viruses written by Chuni L. Mandahar and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two decades ago, recombinant DNA technology or genetic engineering ushered in a new era in the study of plant viruses. The major breakthrough came in the eighties, primarily due to the development of new methods for RNA reverse transcription and cDNA cloning, along with restriction enzyme mapping and rapid nucleotide sequencing. An information explosion in various molecular aspects of plant viruses was caused by these studies. Current research efforts investigate the study of viral genomes, genetic maps, genes and gene expression, gene products, and genetic basis of virus functions and biological properties. Molecular Biology of Plant Viruses analyzes, collates and reviews such published information. Additionally, it demonstrates the mechanisms of genetic variability; brings out the molecular basis of virus transport in plants and of virus transmission by vectors and of disease symptomatology; and discusses molecular biology of viroids and transgenic plants. It also treats the recently discovered genetic phenomenon of gene silencing and the gene-for-gene interactions between the hosts and plant viruses. Molecular Biology of Plant Viruses is an excellent reference, providing insight into the exciting research developments made in the field.
