Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Viral diseases are economically important in many agronomic systems, causing significant economic losses in many countries worldwide as global trade expands and climatic conditions shift. The interactions among viruses, insects, and plants are very important factors that are worthy of research and consideration because the knowledge of these specific interactions will contribute to the development of new and efficient management strategies for many important viral diseases.
The topic of virus–insect–plant interactions includes a wide range of perspectives, as demonstrated by the accumulation of a large amount of data from the omics fields. This growing field of study seeks scientific insights into the changes in host plants induced by plant viruses; the impacts on plant virus populations, evolution, and associated insect vectors resulting from specific virus–insect–plant interactions; the characterization of molecules known to be involved in interaction; the specific transmission of plant viruses through insect vectors; and the influences of environmental factors.
In this Special Issue, articles (original research papers, perspectives, hypotheses, opinions, reviews, and modeling approaches and methods) that focus on virus–insect–plant interactions at all levels are welcome.
Prof. Dr. Kook-Hyung Kim
