Summary: 1. Classification, taxonomy and gene function of geminiviruses and their satellites -- 2. Rolling circle replication and transcription processes in geminiviruses -- 3. Distribution of geminivirus in Indian subcontinent -- 4. Geminivirus occurrence in Australia, China, Europe and Middle Eastern countries -- 5. Mastreviruses in the African world: Harbouring both monocot and dicot species -- 6. Global weed-infecting geminiviruses -- 7. Evolutionary factors in the geminivirus emergence -- 8. Geminivirus - Vector relationship -- 9. Replication of DNA-satellites and their role in viral pathogenesis -- 10. Geminiviruses versus host’s gene silencing mechanism -- 11. Geminivirus resistance strategies -- 12. Integrated pest management approachesSummary: This book provides in-depth information on all key aspects of geminivirus biology, e.g. the genetics and evolution, global diversity and spread of these plant pathogens, as well as the molecular mechanisms underlying their virulence. Geminiviridae is one of the largest viral families, comprising numerous plant-infecting viruses that cause diseases in crops and weeds. These diseases have been reported from nearly all continents, in particular Asia, Europe, Africa and America. The book summarizes the current state of knowledge on the interactions between plant host and virus. In addition, it discusses advances regarding the trans-replication of satellite molecules and its effect on geminiviral pathogenesis, as well as pest management strategies to combat these diseases in the field. Given its scope, the book is a must-read reference guide for all researchers and advanced students working in virology, agriculture and plant biotechnologyPPN: PPN: 1671006445Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-2-SBL | ZDB-2-SEB | ZDB-2-SXB
