The Synapse

Plant Virus-Host Interaction contains cutting-edge research in plant molecular virology including pathogenic viroids and the 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. Socioeconomic implications of widespread plant viral agents are also given consideration. Contributions from leading experts around the globe provide perspectives, while comprehensive coverage ensures a complete look at this exciting field.
