520 Viral diseases of crop plants cause significant yield and
economic losses and this poses a major threat to global
food security. To make matters worse there are no
effective antiviral chemicals available and, although
naturally resistant host genotypes exist, they are so rare
that conventional breeding techniques cannot be used
reliably to create resistant plants. The most effective
option to combat phytopathogenic viruses is through
biotechnological intervention, such as the use of genetic
engineering to develop transgenic plants or the topical
use of RNA silencing technologies to prevent or modulate
the severity of the viral infection. Since the first
report on the virus resistance of transgenic tobacco
plants in 1986, enormous progress has been made in this
field. In addition great strides have been made in our
ability to genetically manipulate plants and viruses
leading to a plethora of novel applications. This has
prompted the need for this timely book which distills the
most important research to provide a timely overview. This
authoritative book contains fifteen chapters whose breadth
reflects the diversity of this research area. Topics
covered range from: understanding the mechanisms of virus
resistance in plants, and the management of whitefly-
transmitted viruses, to the principles and methods
involved in genetic engineering of virus resistant plants.
Other chapters cover individual crops such as papaya,
cassava, rice, tomato, and banana, for which virus
resistance has been accomplished by employing different
transgenic technologies.
