Molecular characterization of wild tomato mosaic virus and chilli veinal mottle virus mix‐infecting chilli pepper in China

Abstract

Chilli pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) is an economically important crop worldwide. However, numerous plant pathogens, including potyviruses, affect its production (Kenyon et al., 2014;Parisi et al., 2020).Potyviruses are aphid-transmitted plant viruses belonging to the genus Potyvirus. Potyvirus virion is a flexuous filamentous capsid with a length of 700-900 nm and a diameter of 11-13 nm. The potyvirus genome consists of a 9.7 Kb single-stranded RNA (ssRNA), two untranslated regions in 5'-UTR and 3'-UTR, and a single major open-reading

Complete genome sequence of polygonatum kingianum mottle virus infecting Polygonatum kingianum Coll. et Hemsl in Yunnan, China

“…To further identify the species of virus, the P. kingianum sample was sent to Ouyi Co., Ltd. (Shanghai, China) for next-generation sequencing (NGS), as previously described [12].The NGS analysis generated 24.72 M raw reads and 24.18 M clean reads with a mean length of 150 nts after removing low-quality reads (Q30 > 95.45%, N50 = 369 bp). Finally, 55,114 contigs (>500bp) were obtained by de novo assembly, among which 748 contigs were mapped to the Potyvirus genome sequence.…”
