Three hundred and ninety-four sweet potato accessions from Latin America East Africa were screened by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the presence of begomoviruses, 46 found to be positive. All symptomless in generated leaf curling and/or chlorosis Ipomoea setosa. The five most divergent isolates, based on complete genome sequences, used study interactions with Sweet chlorotic stunt virus (SPCSV), known cause synergistic diseases other viruses. Co-infections led increased titres...
The complete genome sequence of a U.S. isolate Tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) (CA18-01) was obtained through Illumina and MinION sequencing. ToBRFV shared high nucleic acid identity (>99%) with known isolates. Phylogenetic analysis revealed tight cluster for isolates throughout the world, suggesting short evolutionary history.
Fungi in the genus Monilinia cause brown rot disease of stone and pome fruits. Here, we report draft genome assemblies four important phytopathogenic species: M. fructicola, fructigena, polystroma, laxa. The were 39 Mb (M. fructigena), 42 laxa), 43 fructicola), 45 polystroma) with as few 550 contigs laxa). These are first resources publicly available for laxa, polystroma.
Next-generation sequencing technologies have aided molecular detection and diagnosis of plant pathogens. Short read can be expensive, time consuming, lack portability. The Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) MinION sequencer offers diagnosticians an alternative for whole-genome transcriptome with the advantages portability, rapid results access to sequences generated, relatively low cost. Although this company multiple products, most previous articles focused on comparing technology other...
Abstract Sweetpotato is among the most important root-crops worldwide, particularly in developing countries, and its production affected severely by a variety of virus diseases. During last decade number new viruses have been discovered sweetpotatoes from different continents through next generation sequencing studies, them belonging to genus Badnavirus collectively assigned species Sweet potato pakkakuy (SPPV). We determined complete genome sequence two SPPV isolates show ubiquitous...
Daffodils (family Amaryllidaceae, genus Narcissus) are important ornamental plants produced primarily for cut flowers. In 2019, daffodils sales in the US were $6.26 M (USDA-NASS, 2019). May 2021, four symptomatic daffodil (Narcissus pseudonarcissus) sampled from a flowerbed (<10% disease incidence) on Utah State University campus, Logan, Utah. The had foliar mosaic and yellow striping symptoms like those caused by infections of Narcissus degeneration virus (NDV, potyvirus) (NMV, potexvirus)...
