“The editors of this volume have created a very useful work that will assist individuals interested in plant virology. For the newer specialist, this work will serve as a good avenue to gain further information about the subject. … each chapter contains an extensive ‘Literature Cited’ section that provides primary literature citations for further exploration of each chapter’s topic. Therefore, it will serve as a strong reference source. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above; researchers and faculty.” (S. T. Meiers, Choice, Vol. 54 (5), January, 2017)
