Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Seed-borne and seed-transmitted viruses account for about 25% of plant viruses, and with the extensive development of international trade, seed-borne viruses spread across borders and large areas, and may become new emerging outbreaks of disease, and some seed-borne viruses are plant quarantine pests. How to accurately and rapidly detect seed-borne viruses, understand the mechanism of seed-borne viruses, and how to effectively control seed-borne viral diseases are increasingly important concerns in agricultural production.
In this Special Issue, we aim to collect papers regarding the above concerns from different countries and regions, as well as from different crops, providing a comprehensive platform for researchers to share their findings and advance the field of seed-borne and seed-transmitted virus management.
