Complete Genome Sequence of Southern tomato virus Identified in China Using Next-Generation Sequencing.

ABSTRACT: The complete genome sequence of Southern tomato virus (STV), a double-stranded RNA virus that affects tomato in China, was determined using small RNA deep sequencing. This Chinese isolate shares 99% sequence identity to other isolates from Mexico, France, Spain, and the United States. This is the first report of STV infecting tomatoes in Asia.
