Identification of genome sequences of novel partitiviruses in the quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) transcriptome datasets

초록

Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) is an important crop that is used as a model host for studying plant viruses. Genome sequences of five partitiviruses (two novel betapartitiviruses, two novel deltapartitiviruses, and one known gammapartitivirus) were identified from 65 quinoa transcriptome datasets. All quinoa transcriptome datasets analyzed in this study contained at least one of these partitivirus genome segments. These partitivirus sequences may affect the biology of quinoa plants or artificially infected viruses, and therefore could interfere with the accurate interpretation of the experimental results obtained from using quinoa as the host plants. © 2021, The Phytopathological Society of Japan and Springer Japan KK, part of Springer Nature.
