Interactions Between Barley Yellow Dwarf Virus Infection and Winter-Stress Tolerance in Cereals

  • Chapter
Advances in Disease Vector Research

Part of the book series: Advances in Disease Vector Research ((VECTOR,volume 7))

Abstract

The productivity of a crop can be adversely affected by both abiotic and biotic factors. Some pathogens can kill infected plants and affect a crop so badly that it is uneconomic to harvest. Similarly, severe winter conditions or drought may ruin agriculturally important winter or summer crops affecting the economy of a country and the availability of food for both humans and livestock. Researchers in various parts of the world, therefore, have been involved in breeding crop cultivars that can resist damage due to harsh environments and various disease-causing agents. To achieve this aim, it is essential to understand the mechanism by which the crops are damaged by biotic and abiotic factors. At our Research Centre, pathologists have been investigating the consequences of interaction of viruses with cereals, while physiologists have focused their efforts examining the effects of winter conditions on the survival of cereals. However, very little work has been reported on the effects of virus infections on winter-stress tolerances in cereals. A few years ago, such studies were initiated by the late Dr. Y.C. Paliwal and the senior author at our Research Centre. Almost all the research on the effects of virus infections on winter-stress tolerances has been done using barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) and cereals, but some work has been reported also involving wheat spindle-streak mosaic virus (WSSMV). This chapter reviews the progress made on this subject. A brief description of properties, transmission, and epidemiology of BYDV and WSSMV has been included also in order to facilitate understanding of the effects of virus infections on winter-stress tolerances in cereals.
