About this Research Topic
Vegetables are grown in both open field as well as in greenhouses worldwide. They are important agricultural commodity for human nutrition. Recently, consumptions of vegetables have been increased worldwide due to their many advantages to human health. To sustain the productivity and encourage growers to increase vegetables acreage and production, we need to guide growers how to grow a healthy crop which is free of diseases caused by many pathogen.
Unfortunately vegetables are infected by a large number of both RNA and DNA plant viruses and have significantly impacted the yield and quality of vegetables. These viruses have wide host ranges and are transmitted by a variety of vectors while some of them are Seedborne or seed transmitted. With the help of High-throughput sequencing (HTS), identification of new viruses in a locality is much easier now than few decades ago. Over the last few years, several viruses have been identified via HTS from vegetables in many countries.
The aim of this special issue is to gather the latest information about the emerging viruses infecting vegetables and focus on their impacts and disease pattern, transmission and diversity. We hope to be able to publish latest information about these emerging viruses and could help the scientific community and growers to avoid the infection of these viruses by developing effective integrated pest management strategies against these viruses. As a results growers would be able to produce healthy vegetable crops and may increase their productivity and quality of the produce for human consumption.
We welcome researchers to submit manuscripts to this Research Topic that are focused on emerging plant viruses, their detection, epidemiology, etiology, genetic diversity and management, In particular, we aim to include papers describing the following:
- Emerging viruses that infect vegetable crops.
- Epidemiology of emerging viruses
- Newly discovered viruses
- Relationships with the known viruses and their evolution
- Management strategies for the emerging viruses
- Transmission vectors or seedborne viruses.
