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.
Impact and interest:
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.
Full-text downloads:
Full-text downloads displays the total number of times this work’s files (e.g., a PDF) have been downloaded from QUT ePrints as well as the number of downloads in the previous 365 days. The count includes downloads for all files if a work has more than one.
