This detailed volume examines classical and cutting-edge methods involving double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), specifically regarding isolation, visualization, characterization, production, and application. Many protocols, such as co-immunoprecipitation-based isolation of double-stranded RNA-associated protein complexes, identification of mycoviruses by dsRNA extraction, application of dsRNA for fungi disease management (Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and Botrytis cin), and production of double-stranded RNA in plants by plant viral vectors for gene silencing, can also be easily adapted for identification of viruses from other organisms, control of other pathogens, and fundamental research. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step and readily reproducible laboratory protocols, as well as tips for troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Reliable and practical, Double-Stranded RNA: Methods and Protocols serves as an ideal reference book for students and researchers who work with dsRNA.

This volume aims to provide a comprehensive collection of modern experimental techniques, protocols, and analytical tools for studying plant antiviral resistance.  Chapters detail viral infection, plant immunity, advanced methodologies for high-throughput screening, omics-based profiling, and cutting-edge proximity tagging technology applications.  Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.Cutting-edge and authoritative, Plant Antiviral Resistance: Methods and Protocols is a valuable resource for researchers and scientists who want to learn more about this important and developing field.
