Plant Virus
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
Plant viruses are widespread worldwide. Common viruses include mosaic, leaf curl, poxvirus, dwarf, leaf roll, and bushy stunt virus. Since plant viruses are not only one of the main threats to crop growth but also cause important economic losses in many agronomic systems, for sustainable and healthy agricultural production, it is necessary to understand the mechanism of interaction between plants and viruses in depth, as it can lay a solid foundation for future plant defense against viruses and the development of viral disease management strategies. This Topic will focus on but not be limited to viral disease detection, plant–virus interactions (the effect of virus infections on fruit and vegetables) and plant virus resistance. We welcome well-prepared manuscripts of original research, review articles, and short communications.
