We review various prescriptions which have been proposed for the turbulent transport of matter and angular momentum in differentially rotating stellar radiation zones. A new prescription is presented for the horizontal transport associated with the anisotropic shear turbulence which is produced by the differential rotation in latitude; this 'beta-viscosity' is drawn from torque measurements in the classical Couette-Taylor experiment (Richard & Zahn 1999). Its implementation in a stellar
