Characterization of Ilarviruses in India

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
A Century of Plant Virology in India

Abstract

Ilarviruses (family Bromoviridae) infect a wide range of plants including herbs, shrubs and trees. The type species, Tobacco streak virus (TSV) is a problem on many crops worldwide. TSV has a broad host range and is widely distributed. Epidemic occurance of TSV in India has been witnessed on several important crops such as peanut, sunflower, okra, cotton and gherkin. Identification of the extent of ilarvirus spread, host range, thrips-vector species, virus survival and plant-to-plant spread are important to predict the risk factors of ilarvirus epidemics. In India so far three illarviruses have been identified, apple mosaic virus, prunus necrotic ringspot virus and TSV. Of all these ilarviruses, the major research has been focused on TSV. This chapter summarises the research work conducted on illarviruses in India.
