Thrips palmi (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) is the predominant tospovirus vector in Asia-Pacific region. It transmits economically damaging groundnut bud necrosis virus (GBNV, family Tospoviridae) a persistent propagative manner. serve as alternate host, and reservoirs making management very challenging. Insecticides host plant resistance remain ineffective managing thrips-tospoviruses. Recent genomic approaches have led to understanding molecular interactions of thrips-tospoviruses identifying...
Coconut palm (Cocos nucifera L.), a versatile tree crop with multifarious uses, is important for the livelihood security of millions people in India. Root (wilt) disease (RWD) major production constraint causing an estimated yield loss 968 million nuts southern Affected palms show bending leaflets (flaccidity), foliar yellowing, and marginal necrosis. Phytoplasmas have been observed to be associated this by electron microscopy (EM) transmission (3) but not characterized. Attempts made past...
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) based virome analyses of mRNA and sRNA have recently become a routine approach for reliable detection plant viruses viroids. In the present study we identified viral/viroidal spectrum several Indian grapevine cultivars reconstructed their whole genomes using publically available mRNAome sRNAome datasets. Twenty three viroids (including two variants leafroll associated virus 4) were from tissues (fruit peels young leaves) among which nine unique first time in...
Many viruses have been found associated with apple mosaic disease in different parts of the world. In order to reveal and characterize viroids symptomatic plants, next-generation sequencing (RNA seq.) rRNA-depleted total RNA using Illumina Hiseq2500 was applied two cultivars, Oregon Spur Golden Delicious, symptoms necrosis one cultivar, Red Fuji, which asymptomatic. The detected five viruses, viz., necrotic virus (ApNMV), (ApMV), stem grooving (ASGV) pitting (ASPV), chlorotic leaf spot...
