Jorge Alberto Marques Rezende
Objective
Convey to students the principles and general concepts in plant virology.
Content
The plant virology course comprises aspects of classical virology as well as modern plant virology. Students will be introduced to the history of plant virology in Brazil and in the world, taxonomy of plant virus, symptoms, diagnosis and control of plant virus diseases. The course should address aspects of genome organization of plant viruses, replication, functions and mechanisms of regulation of viral genome, molecular mechanisms of virus-vector and virus-plant interactions and molecular strategies of plant virus diseases control.
