Molecular Basis of Symptomatology

  • Chapter
Molecular Biology of Plant Viruses

Abstract

Viral pathogenesis is the mechanism by which viruses enter host plants, establish infection, and cause disease. It encompasses several events such as entry into the host by being deposited in a cell by viral vectors such as insects, nematodes etc. that feed on host plants or by mechanical damage to cell wall and plasma membrane. It is followed by replication and assembly of the daughter virus particles at the specific site(s), spread from the site of infection to neighboring healthy cells (cell-to-cell movement) followed by invasion of distal parts of the plant (long-distance movement) (Chapter 7), and disease induction during which specific symptoms are produced.
