Article Synopsis
- Research on aquatic plant viruses is less advanced than that of land plant viruses, prompting a study to identify viruses in freshwater macrophytes, which are large aquatic plants visible to the naked eye.
- Using next generation sequencing, the study detected 156 viral sequences linked to freshwater macrophytes, indicating a diverse range of viruses and suggesting similarities with viruses found in terrestrial plants.
- Notably, the study found that some terrestrial plant viruses might also infect underwater plants, highlighting a possible connection between terrestrial and aquatic plant viruses and underscoring the need to explore the virome of aquatic plants for better understanding virus evolution.
