Abstract excerpt
Persistent plant viruses are widespread in natural ecosystems. However, little is known about why persistent infection with these viruses may cause little or no harm to their host. Here, we discovered a new polerovirus that persistently infected wild rice plants by deep sequencing and assembly of virus-derived small-interfering RNAs (siRNAs). The new virus was named Rice tiller inhibition virus 2 (RTIV2) based on...
