Résumé : | Viruses and viroids are known to cause considerable losses in crop yield and quality of plants and plant products. Because of the insidious nature of these pathogens it is very likely that they are responsible for far greater losses than is generally recognized. Not only do diseases caused by these pathogens result in significant economic losses, they can have a serious social impact in regions or countries, i.e., rice tungro in Southeast Asia, African cassava mosaic in Africa, plum pox in Europe and the Near East, cucumber mosaic in Italy, faba bean necrotic yellows in the Near East, potato spindle tuber in China, and coconut cadang-cadang in the Philippines are among the most notable. Since these pathogens generally cannot be controlled by physical or chemical means like most fungi and bacteria, strategies for control must involve management of the diseases by exclusion or minimizing the organism in a geographical region and/or when feasible by incorporating resistance into economically important plants. A critical first step in controlling these pathogens is being able to accurately detect their presence in plant tissue. This book is a comprehensive source of information devoted entirely to the strategies of controlling plant diseases caused by viruses and viroids. The first 32 chapters present a wealth of basic and applied information on these causative agents including the current state-of-the-art for their detection, their control through elimination or host plant and vector resistance, and disease free certification programs. The last 18 chapters describe the current status of controlling specific economically important plant viruses. In total, the book's contents create a framework for understanding and analyzing plant diseases caused by these pathogens and devising effective control measures. The many plant virologists from all over the world who have contributed to this valuable book are to be complimented. |
