Characterization of a new apple luteovirus identified by high-throughput sequencing
15 May 2018
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: 'Rapid Apple Decline' (RAD) is a newly emerging problem of young, dwarf apple trees in the Northeastern USA. The affected trees show trunk necrosis, cracking and canker before collapse in summer. In this study, we discovered and characterized a new luteovirus from apple trees in RAD-affected orchards using high-throughput sequencing (HTS) technology and subsequent Sanger sequencing. METHODS: Illumina...
