Taxonomy and Description of Plant Viruses

Syllabus and lecture notes for PLP 611 Molecular Plant Virology (UA log-in required)

Detailed descriptions of the molecular virology research in the School of Plant Sciences, Division of Plant Pathology and Microbiology, College of Agriculture and Life Science at the University of Arizona are available through the following links. Molecular biology of several small RNA and DNA viruses and their interaction with plants are being investigated in my laboratory. These projects include characterization of viral genomes, replication and recombination of RNA viruses, virus-plant interactions in resistance and resistance-breaking, high throughput sequencing of transcriptome and small RNA for virus-host interactions and viral discovery. You will also find a list of interesting and useful WWW sites
