Plant virus. Plant viruses are viruses that have the potential to affect plants. Like all other viruses, plant viruses are obligate intracellular parasites that do not have the molecular machinery to replicate without a host. Plant viruses can be pathogenic to vascular plants ("higher plants") . Most plant viruses are rod-shaped, with protein ...
Tomato spotted wilt orthotospovirus. Tomato spotted wilt orthotospovirus (TSWV) is a spherical negative-sense RNA virus. Transmitted by thrips, it causes serious losses in economically important crops and it is one of the most economically devastating plant viruses in the world. [1]
Mycosphaerella is a genus of ascomycota. With more than 10,000 species, it is the largest genus of plant pathogen fungi. The following introduction about the fungal genus Mycosphaerella is copied (with permission) from the dissertation of W. Quaedvlieg (named: Re-evaluating Mycosphaerella and allied genera). [1]
The tomato chlorosis virus (ToCV) is an RNA virus belonging to the genus crinivirus, a group of plant-infecting viruses in the family Closteroviridae. [1] Tomato chlorosis virus (ToCV) was originally discovered in the mid-1990s in greenhouse-grown tomato plants in north-central Florida, USA. [2] It is an emerging whitefly-transmitted virus that ...
Potato virus Y (PVY) is a plant pathogenic virus of the family Potyviridae, and one of the most important plant viruses affecting potato production. PVY infection of potato plants results in a variety of symptoms depending on the viral strain. The mildest of these symptoms is production loss, but the most detrimental is 'potato tuber necrotic ...
Paramyxoviridae. Paramyxoviridae (from Greek para- “by the side of” and myxa “ mucus ”) is a family of negative-strand RNA viruses in the order Mononegavirales. [1] [2] Vertebrates serve as natural hosts. [3] Diseases associated with this family include measles, mumps, and respiratory tract infections. [4]
Plant pathology or phytopathology is the scientific study of plant diseases caused by pathogens (infectious organisms) and environmental conditions (physiological factors). [1] Plant pathology involves the study of pathogen identification, disease etiology, disease cycles, economic impact, plant disease epidemiology, plant disease resistance ...
