Abstract
Rice (Oryza spp.) is mostly grown directly from seed and sown on wet or dry seed beds or usually used as transplants on nursery beds. Among all the economically important viral diseases in the world, rice yellow mottle virus (RYMV) is only prevalent in rice-growing countries in Africa. RYMV has become the main rice production constraint in Africa over the last 20-25 years, causing yield losses of 10 to 100% depending on the age of the plant at the time of infection, degree of varietal susceptibility and the existing climatic conditions. Good agricultural practices and biotechnological tools in the development of improved resistant cultivars have been extensively utilized in controlling the disease. This review focuses on RYMV, its epidemiology, serological and molecular typing, disease management and the way forward for sustainable rice production.
期刊介绍:
Viruses (ISSN 1999-4915) is an open access journal which provides an advanced forum for studies of viruses. It publishes reviews, regular research papers, communications, conference reports and short notes. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. We also encourage the publication of timely reviews and commentaries on topics of interest to the virology community and feature highlights from the virology literature in the ''News and Views'' section. Electronic files or software regarding the full details of the calculation and experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material.
