Tobamovirus Classification

  • Adrian Gibbs
Chapter
Part of the The Viruses book series (VIRS)

Abstract

The tobamoviruses are one of the best known and most fully reviewed groups of plant viruses (Gibbs, 1977; Shikata, 1977; Van Regenmortel, 1981); nevertheless, another review of their classification is justified by the increasing flood of molecular sequence data which is providing new insights into their classification and, possibly, into their evolution.
