Advances in the studies of Rice stripe virus

Abstract

Rice stripe virus (RSV), the type member of the genus Tenuivirus, is one of the most economically important pathogens of rice and is repeatedly epidemic in China, Japan and Korea. The latest achievements of the studies on the biological functions of virus-encoded proteins, pathogenicity differentiation and genetic diversity of virus, virus-plant host interactions and management of virus were reviewed. The current problems encountered during studies and some approaches for further research were discussed.
