Fundamentals of Viroid Biology

Fundamentals of Viroid Biology provides a comprehensive introduction to the emerging research on viroids and their biology. The book is organized into three parts. The introduction offers historical perspectives as well as information on classifications, structure, life cycle and replication, and viroid movement. The book goes on to discuss viroid diseases and their geographic distributions across Asia, Europe, Africa, Australia, North and South America. Viroid pathogenesis and viroid-host interaction rounds out the coverage which includes viroid associated disease symptoms and viroid regions associated and viroid-host protein and translations. Detection and disease control strategies are also covered.Contributed by an international group of renown contributors in viroid research, Fundamentals of Viroid Biology is a useful introductory reference to advance undergraduates, graduate, postgraduate students, and early career researchers and scientists engaged in the study of viroid biology, virology, plant virology, and microbiology. Covers introductory to advanced level of information in viroid research Supported by relevant flow chart, figures, and graphics to enhance understanding of the concepts and protocols Offers contributions by an international array of experts who are authorities in viroid research INDICE: 1.
