Analysis of virome by high-throughput sequencing disclosed multiple infection in a single grapevine plant

ABSTRACT: Among phytosanitary problems of the grapevine, viruses stand out for their capacity reducing quality and yield grapes. However, detecting identifying viral infections in grapevines can be challenging. This study performed a high throughput sequencing (HTS) pathogens present vine showing virus-like symptoms to elucidate etiology. HTS analysis reported hybrid grapevine with mild curling down leaf edges, presence four viroids, which were probably implicated observed symptoms. The determined complete genomes showed genetic identities previously characterized isolates homologous pathogens.
