Biotechnology and Plant Protection cover

This volume emphasizes recent research developments in the field of plant viral pathogenesis and disease resistance, focusing on the underlying molecular biology as well as the application of recent advances to agricultural problems. Each of the following general topics is covered by four or five chapters: genome replication and expression, subviral RNA's, virus/host interactions, and expression of viral genes in transformed plants.


Contents:
  • Disassembly Mechanisms of Plant RNA Viruses: Fine-Tuning and Possible Sites for Transgenic Protection (T M A Wilson)
  • Expression, Processing, and Transport of Tobacco Etch Potyviral Proteins (J C Carrington et al.)
  • Properties of Genes Influencing Barley Stripe Mosaic Virus Movement Phenotypes (R G K Donald et al.)
  • Figwort Mosaic Virus, A Caulimovirus, Regulates the Expression of Its Genes via Transactivation of a Polycistronic mRNA (S Gowda et al.)
  • Self-Cleavage and Replication of Barley Yellow Dwarf Virus Satellite RNA (S L Silver et al.)
  • Precise Interactions between Tobamoviruses and Plants (W O Dawson et al.)
  • A “Gene for Gene” Interaction and Potato Virus X (D C Baulcombe et al.)
  • and other papers

Readership: Molecular biologists, plant pathologists and virologists.
