Tobamoviruses Show Broad Host Ranges and Little Genetic Diversity Among Four Habitat Types of a Heterogeneous Ecosystem.

Abstract excerpt

Host ranges of plant viruses are poorly known, as studies have focused on pathogenic viruses in crops and adjacent wild plants. High-throughput sequencing (HTS) avoids the bias toward plant-virus interactions that result in disease. Here we study the host ranges of tobamoviruses, important pathogens of crops, using HTS analyses of an extensive sample of plant communities in four habitats of a heterogeneous...
