Article Synopsis
- High-throughput sequencing (HTS) has been utilized to explore the virome of cultivated and wild carrots, highlighting the potential for studying virus spread between different types of plants.
- The carrot model comprises cultivated and wild populations, allowing researchers to examine virus communities with less genetic obstruction since they belong to the same species.
- The study revealed a diverse virome with 45 identified viruses, including 25 new or potentially new ones, demonstrating that wild carrots serve as a significant reservoir for viral diversity and emphasizing the interaction between viruses and their aphid vectors.
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 ecosystem.

The bias of studies towards pathogenic viruses of crops has distracted from knowledge of non-antagonistic symbioses in wild plants. Here, we implemented a high-throughput approach to compare the viromes of melon () and wild plants of crop (Crop) and adjacent boundaries (Edge).
