Many plant viruses infect poaceous plants and inflict significant losses on cereal crops worldwide. In Iran, research on these viruses began approximately fifty years ago but gained momentum in the early 1990s. With the joint project of the Iranian Ministry of Agriculture and Shiraz University and the establishment of the Plant Virology Research Center, studies on these viruses have become more intense and systematic nationwide. In this period, many viruses were discovered or reported for the first time from Iran. In wheat, the most critical viral diseases were found to be wheat streak mosaic, barley/cereal yellow dwarf and barley yellow striate mosaic. In maize, maize rough dwarf (rice black gall dwarf), maize Iranian mosaic and Iranian Johnson grass mosaic were viral diseases of significant concern, while in sugarcane, the sugarcane mosaic virus posed a major threat. Extensive data were collected also on a number of other viruses. Consequently, the researchers in this field were able to effectively manage the spread of four significant viruses: barley yellow dwarf, wheat streak mosaic, rice black gall dwarf (maize rough dwarf), and maize Iranian mosaic viruses. Their efforts have also culminated in the discovery or identification of 23 virus species in15 genera and 11 families of cereal viruses and their vectors in Iran. This research has additionally produced over 70 student dissertations, hundreds of articles published in journals and presented at conferences, and the deposition of 445 nucleotide sequences in the GenBank.
