Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Plant viruses account for a significant proportion of economically important diseases in major crops. Newly emerging or re-emerging plant viruses are a major threat to food security, environment, and economic stability. Effective disease management requires rapid, reliable, and accurate detection and identification of causal agents.
In addition to traditional methods, High-throughput or next-generation sequencing (hts) provides broad-spectrum and accurate detection and identification of viruses enabling multiplex detection, quantification, and discovery of new viruses with a richer and more informative data set. Hts is poised to be the future standard of diagnostics and disease management.
In this special issue, we focus on state-of-the-art methods for the detection and discovery of plant viruses and their applications in biosecurity and disease management. We invite you to contribute your original studies or review articles on these topics.
