Abstract

As mentioned elsewhere, there are over 30 viral diseases reported to occur in wheat but only a few are economically important. Some of the viral diseases are overlooked because of their low economic importance or else because their symptoms are rather ambiguous and at times attributed to nutritional deficiencies of the plant. Viruses cause several disorders in the wheat plant including foliar chlorosis appearing as mottles, dashes, blotches or streaks (Zaitlin and Palukaitis 2000; Jones et al. 2010; Bockus et al. 2010). Only four viral diseases are described in the following pages, especially considering their economic importance.
