Plant-Virus Interactions

 This  detailed volume provides practical guidance on techniques in  plant-virus interaction research, from targeting specific molecular  interactions within the virus-host interactome to the identification of  the complete virus-host protein-protein interaction network. After  chapters on acquiring the necessary molecular tools, the book continues  with biochemical and genetic approaches to confirming protein-protein  interactions both in vivo and in vitro, procedures and protocols for  assessing replication, translation, viral genome movement, and insect  transmission, as well as techniques for detecting multiple molecular  interactions between the host and the virus and monitoring immune hubs.  Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics,  lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step and readily  reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and  avoiding known pitfalls.

Authoritative and comprehensive, Plant-Virus Interactions serves as a valuable resource for understanding the protein-protein  interaction network between the virus and the host, crucial for  comprehending the life cycle of a virus and for developing strategies  for broad-spectrum and long-lasting resistance against viral infections.
