Abstract

Barley yellow dwarf viruses represent one of the most economically important and ubiquitous groups of plant viruses. This review focuses primarily on four research areas in which progress has been most rapid. These include () evidence supporting reclassification of BYDVs into two genera; () elucidation of gene function and novel mechanisms controlling gene expression; () initial forays into understanding the complex interactions between BYDV virions and their aphid vectors; and ( ) replication of a BYDV satellite RNA. Economic losses, symptomatology, and means of control of BYD are also discussed.
