The third section of 12 chapters describes the most economically important virus diseases of cereals, legumes, vegetable crops,fruit trees,and ornamentals. This section is abundantlyillustrated and should bevery useful to plant pathologists and all those interested in viral infections in plants. The last section of 15 chapters describes the major groupsofvirusesthatinfectfungi.
