About the Book: Plant Virus Host Interaction: Molecular Approaches and Viral
Evolution
Plant Virus-Host Interaction contains cutting-edge research in plant molecular
virology, including pathogenic viroids and transport by insect vectors,
interference with transmission to control viruses, and synergism, with pivotal
coverage of RNA silencing and the counter-defensive strategies used by viruses
to overcome the silencing response in plants.
With a clear focus on plant virus evolution, including quantitative and
population genetics, Plant Virus-Host Interaction provides insights on the major
factors favoring disease emergence, such as genetic change in pathogen and host
populations and changes in host ecology and environment. The book also examines
socioeconomic implications of widespread
