"...a refreshing addition to the agricultural and plant sciences literature...A summary of information on taxonomy, biological properties, and genome organization of plant viruses in an appendix is especially valuable... Summing Up: Highly recommended." --CHOICE Reviews Online,Nov 01 2014 "...this book is still unique, being the most comprehensive survey of classic and modern plant virology." --JOURNAL OF PLANT PHYSIOLOGY (August 2005) "The book is strong in its coverage of recent developments. This is a book for the advanced student and researcher." --Ron Fraser for MICROBIOLOGY TODAY (2002)
The seminal text Plant Virology is now in its fifth edition. It has been 10 years since the publication of the fourth edition, during which there has been an explosion of conceptual and factual advances. The fifth edition of Plant Virology updates and revises many details of the previous edition while retaining the important earlier results that constitute the field's conceptual foundation. Revamped art, along with fully updated references and increased focus on molecular biology, transgenic resistance, aphid transmission, and new, cutting-edge topics, bring the volume up to date and maintain its value as an essential reference for researchers and students in the field.
