Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cereals are a dominant staple food crop grown around the world and are among the most important crops. Cereals are affected by various viruses and are the most difficult to control since there are no means by which a viral disease can be eradicated once it has established itself on a field. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to understand the biology of viruses and device methods in order to control viral diseases that might represent a risk for sustainable agriculture in the near future. Many countries have been braving those issues and making important contributions to virology research over the years. In our quest to look for high-quality science in the face of unique challenges, we encourage researchers to submit articles to this Special Issue entitled “Cereal Virus Diseases”.
This Special Issue’s goal is to publish research studies that address efforts related to cereal virus diagnosis, the diversity of virus population, host resistance, transmission, prevention, and control. Investigations on the pathogenesis of virus infection are also welcome, as well as relevant epidemiological findings. Both original manuscripts and reviews are welcome.
