The Occurrence and Diversity of Viruses Identified in Monocotyledonous Weeds
In crop fields, weeds are perfect hosts for plant pathogenic viruses. The effects of these viruses can range from latent infection to plant death, affecting crop quality and yield and leading to economic loss in the world. Virus infection threatens cereals used as food for most of the world’s popula...

| description | In crop fields, weeds are perfect hosts for plant pathogenic viruses. The effects of these viruses can range from latent infection to plant death, affecting crop quality and yield and leading to economic loss in the world. Virus infection threatens cereals used as food for most of the world’s population. Weeds growing in cereal fields can compete for essential supply and act as virus reservoirs, strengthening their deteriorating effect. In this review, we collected the current information on viruses presenting in the most important monocotyledonous weeds: <i>Echinocloa crus-galli</i>, <i>Setaria viridis</i>, <i>Cynodon dactylon</i>, <i>Sorghum halepense</i> and millet species growing as weeds. Identifying plant viruses in monocotyledonous weed hosts provides more information about viral infection flow and guides the development of management strategies for safeguarding our field crops. |
