"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)
