Seed-Borne Viruses in Vegetable Crops: Challenges and Solutions
摘要
Plant viruses propagated from seeds compromise vegetable crop development and world food security. Field viral infections go unreported and cost seed companies and producers’ losses since infected seeds are invisible. The current research looks at vegetable crop seed-borne viruses. More precisely, it investigates the intricate interaction of environmental factors, plant biology, and virus characteristics that controls vertical transmission. This study investigates the many viruses carried by seeds in key vegetable crops. We study the contraction of several illnesses in seeds and seedlings. Still another topic is how early embryonic infection influences plant form and genes. The study also exposes the limits of approaches to seed-transmitted virus detection. Emphasizing the requirement of more sensitive, fast, reasonably priced testing tools helps to ensure virus-free seed production and dissemination. With an eye on their shortcomings, we go over chemical treatments, thermoscopy, and seed health testing. The research examines these issues in concert with novel concepts. This covers molecular diagnostics for precise and early identification of the viruses of seeds, biological control agents, breeding methods to raise host tolerance, and this chapter seeks to increase world vegetable crop productivity and seed-borne virus management. This will be accomplished by means of an exhaustive existing and future environment study.
