Tomato chlorotic spot virus (TCSV) and groundnut ringspot virus (GRSV) share several genetic and biological traits. Both of them belong to the genus (family ), which is composed by viruses with tripartite RNA genome that infect plants and are transmitted by thrips (order Thysanoptera). Previous studies have suggested several reassortment events between these two viruses, and some speculated that they may share one of their genomic segments. To better understand the intimate evolutionary history of these two viruses, we sequenced the genomes of the first TCSV and GRSV isolates ever reported. Our analyses show that TCSV and GRSV isolates indeed share one of their genomic segments, suggesting that one of those viruses may have emerged upon a reassortment event. Based on a series of phylogenetic and nucleotide diversity analyses, we conclude that the parental genotype of the M segment of TCSV was either eliminated due to a reassortment with GRSV or it still remains to be identified.

During the field visits in growing season of 2022 in Dammam Region of Saudi Arabia, begomovirus-like symptoms including leaf curling, leaf cupping, leaf distortion, vein thickening and reduced leaf size were observed in squash and cucumber fields. Twenty-five samples were collected from each crop and PCR amplification was done using general diagnostic begomovirus primers (AC-1048/AV-494 and Begomo I/Begomo II). The obtained results showed desired sized amplified DNA fragments (550 bp and 1.

Article Synopsis
- - Vigna unguiculata, or cowpea, is a significant vegetable crop in Sanya, Hainan, China, but it faces threats from viral diseases like CPMMV, BCMV, and CPPV2 which negatively impact its growth and photosynthesis.
- - Weeds in the area, such as Sesbania cannabina and Physalis angulata, can act as virus hosts, complicating the situation for cowpea cultivation.
- - In July 2022, researchers collected these weeds, extracted their RNA, and identified a viral DNA sequence similar to CPMMV, indicating a link between the weeds and the viral disease affecting cowpeas.

Plant rhabdoviruses cause considerable economic losses and are a threat to the agriculture of plants. Two novel virus isolates belonging to the family are identified by high-throughput sequencing (HTS) in Russian eggplant cultivars grown in the Volga river delta region for the first time. The phylogenetic inference of L protein (polymerase) shows that these virus isolates belong to Alphanucleorhabdovirus physostegia (-PhCMoV), and their minus-sense RNA genomes have the typical gene order 3'-nucleocapsid (N)-X protein (X)-phosphoprotein (P)-Y protein (Y)-matrix protein (M)-glycoprotein (G)-polymerase (L)-5' observed in some plant-infecting alphanucleorhabdoviruses.

Background: Pospiviroids, members of the genus Pospiviroid, can cause severe diseases in tomato and other Solanaceae crops, causing considerable economic losses worldwide. Six pospiviroids including potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTVd), tomato chlorotic dwarf viroid (TCDVd), tomato planta macho viroid (TPMVd), Columnea latent viroid (CLVd), pepper chat fruit viroid (PCFVd), and tomato apical stunt viroid (TASVd) are regulated in many countries and organizations. Rapid, accurate detection is thus crucial for controlling the spread of these pospiviroids.
