Sustainable ways of controlling virus diseases in plants: A review
Authors
Prakash, Vidya Patni
Abstract
Virus diseases in plants pose significant
challenges to global agriculture, impacting crop yield, food security, and
economic stability. This review examines sustainable methods for managing plant
virus diseases, focusing on environmentally friendly strategies that minimize
negative impacts on ecosystems and human health. Various approaches, including
microbial agents, botanical extracts, and advanced biotechnological tools, are
explored for their efficacy in controlling plant viruses while maintaining
agricultural sustainability. Microbes such as fungi, bacteria, and their
derivatives have demonstrated promising antiviral properties through mechanisms
such as induced systemic resistance and direct inhibition of viral activity.
Additionally, botanical extracts derived from plants have shown effectiveness
in controlling a wide range of plant viruses, offering potential alternatives
to chemical pesticides. Furthermore, advanced biotechnological approaches,
including technology based on Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic
Repeats (CRISPR/Cas) and genetic resistance, provide innovative avenues for
developing virus-resistant crop plants with enhanced sustainability. This
review provides a comprehensive overview of work done by different
phytopathologists toward the collective understanding of sustainable strategies
for managing plant virus diseases.
