Molecular characterisation and diagnosis of badnaviruses infecting yams in the South Pacific

Sukal, Amit Chand (2018) Molecular characterisation and diagnosis of badnaviruses infecting yams in the South Pacific. PhD by Publication, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

Yams are an important food source grown throughout the Pacific but the international movement of the crop is restricted due to a lack of understanding of the viruses infecting these plants. This study focused on identifying and characterising badnaviruses infecting yams and the subsequent development of sensitive and reliable diagnostic tests. These tests can be used in virus-screening programs to enable the safe international movement of virus-free yam germplasm thus contributing to food and nutritional security of Pacific Island Countries.

Search Google Scholar™

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.

Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
