Contents:Viroids presents
indispensable, comprehensive and up-to-date information pertinent to
viroids, viroid diseases, and their control. It provides a single source of
information on the economic impact of viroid diseases, properties of
viroids, methods for viroid detection and control, diseases of viroids in
different plant species, mapping of the geographical distribution and
epidemiology of viroids, diseases of possible viroid etiology, and
considerations for future applications of viroids. This book also covers
plant quarantine and certification programs for viroid diseases. This
information will help anyone concerned with the safe movement of plant
material across international boundaries or within a country.
The
book is useful to students, researchers, extension agents, and regulators.
It also may be of great value to science managers, policy makers, and
industries in formulating policies and products to obtain viroid-free plants
and control viroid diseases.
