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 discs forming ...
Plant diseases are diseases in plants caused by pathogens (infectious organisms) and environmental conditions (physiological factors). [1] Organisms that cause infectious disease include fungi, oomycetes, bacteria, viruses, viroids, virus -like organisms, phytoplasmas, protozoa, nematodes and parasitic plants. [2]
Viruses are known to infect both plant cells and animal cells. Since viruses are obligate intracellular parasites they must develop direct methods of transmission, between hosts, in order to survive. The mobility of animals increases the mechanisms of viral transmission that have evolved, whereas plants remain immobile, and thus plant viruses ...
Cucumber mosaic virus ( CMV) is a plant pathogenic virus [1] in the family Bromoviridae. [2] This virus has a worldwide distribution and a very wide host range, [3] having the reputation of the widest host range of any known plant virus. [4] It can be transmitted from plant to plant both mechanically by sap and by aphids in a stylet-borne fashion.
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 ...
Tobacco mosaic virus ( TMV) is a positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus species in the genus Tobamovirus that infects a wide range of plants, especially tobacco and other members of the family Solanaceae. The infection causes characteristic patterns, such as "mosaic"-like mottling and discoloration on the leaves (hence the name).
Tulip breaking virus is one of five plant viruses of the family Potyviridae that cause color-breaking of tulip flowers. These viruses infect plants in only two genera of the family Liliaceae: tulips ( Tulipa) and lilies ( Lilium ). Also known as the tulip break virus, lily streak virus, lily mosaic virus, or simply TBV, Tulip breaking virus is ...
Hassaku dwarf virus. Lime dieback virus. Citrus tristeza virus ( CTV) is a viral species of the genus Closterovirus that causes the most economically damaging disease to its namesake plant genus, Citrus. The disease has led to the death of millions of Citrus trees all over the world and has rendered millions of others useless for production. [1]
