Other viral pathogens of banana

Code: 9781835451137
Andrew D. W. Geering, Queensland Alliance for Agriculture and Food Innovation, The University of Queensland, Australia

Chapter synopsis:

In this chapter, minor viral pathogens of banana, plantain and abacá are discussed. Some such as banana bract mosaic virus and the abacá strain of sugarcane mosaic virus have the potential to cause much more serious problems if they are allowed to spread unchecked around the world. Other viruses such as banana mild mosaic virus are already ubiquitous but do not appear to have an appreciable impact on yield or quality. Cucumber mosaic virus has a very broad host range and is an economically important pathogen of many crops, but banana is not among those worst affected. Due to the limited amount of research devoted to this miscellaneous group of viruses, there are many unanswered questions surrounding their biology, some of which are highlighted in this chapter.
