Desk Encyclopedia of Plant and Fungal Virology

---

The Desk Encyclopedia of Plant and Fungal Virology is the fourth in a series of four volumes that reproduces many entries that appeared in the third edition of the Encyclopedia of Virology, edited by Brian W J Mahy and Marc H V van Regenmortel,published by Academic Press/Elsevier in 2008. It consists of 85 chapters that highlight recent advances in our knowledge of the viruses that infect plants and fungi. The first section of the book, comprising 10 chapters, discusses general topics in plant virology such as the movement of viruses in plants, the transmission of plant viruses by vectors, antiviral defense mechanisms in plants, and the development of virus-resistant transgenic plants. A chapter is devoted to viroids.

The second section of 48 chapters presents an overview of the properties of a selection of 20 well-studied plant viruses, 23 plant virus genera and a few larger groups of plant viruses. The third section of 12 chapters describes the most economically important virus diseases of cereals, legumes, vegetable crops, fruit trees, and ornamentals. This section is abundantly illustrated and should be very useful to plant pathologists and all those interested in viral infections in plants. The last section of 15 chapters describes the major groups of viruses that infect fungi.

As all the chapters initially appeared in an encyclopedia, little prior specialized knowledge is required to follow the material that is presented. When used in conjunction with the first volume of the series, which is devoted to General Virology and describes the structure, replication, molecular biology, and general properties of viruses, this volume could form the basis of an introductory course on virology, suitable for students of plant sciences.
