| appearances can be deceptive: revealing a hidden viral infection with deep sequencing in a plant quarantine context. | comprehensive inventories of plant viral diversity are essential for effective quarantine and sanitation efforts. the safety of regulated plant material exchanges presently relies heavily on techniques such as pcr or nucleic acid hybridisation, which are only suited to the detection and characterisation of specific, well characterised pathogens. here, we demonstrate the utility of sequence-independent next generation sequencing (ngs) of both virus-derived small interfering rnas (sirnas) and viri ... | 2014 | 25061967 |
| occurrence of a novel mastrevirus in sugarcane germplasm collections in florida, guadeloupe and réunion. | in africa and asia, sugarcane is the host of at least seven different virus species in the genus mastrevirus of the family geminiviridae. however, with the exception of sugarcane white streak virus in barbados, no other sugarcane-infecting mastrevirus has been reported in the new world. conservation and exchange of sugarcane germplasm using stalk cuttings facilitates the spread of sugarcane-infecting viruses. | 2017 | 28754134 |
