New insights into viral threats in soybean (<i>Glycine max</i>) crops from Bangladesh, including a novel crinivirus.

ABSTRACT: Soybean (Glycine max) crops in Bangladesh face significant challenges due to viral diseases, exacerbated by the hot and humid conditions that favor virus and vector proliferation. The emergence of novel or resurgent viruses can jeopardize soybean production because of the difficulties in identifying and characterizing these pathogens. In addition, detecting and characterizing new plant viruses demands considerable resources and commitment. This study examines soybean plants, collected from research fields in Gazipur, Bangladesh, between February 2022 and January 2023, that exhibited green or yellow mosaic, leaf wrinkling, and mild yellowing symptoms. Utilizing high-throughput sequencing, we examined the virome in soybean leaves. Our findings revealed the presence of three RNA viruse
