Full Genome Evolutionary Studies of Wheat Streak Mosaic-Associated Viruses Using High-Throughput Sequencing.

ABSTRACT: Wheat streak mosaic (WSM), a viral disease affecting cereals and grasses, causes substantial losses in crop yields. Wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV) is the main causal agent of the complex, but mixed infections with Triticum mosaic virus (TriMV) and High plains wheat mosaic emaravirus (HPWMoV) were reported as well. Although resistant varieties are effective for the disease control, a WSMV resistance-breaking isolate and several potential resistance-breaking isolates have been reported, suggesting that viral populations are genetically diverse. Previous phylogenetic studies of WSMV were conducted by focusing only on the virus coat protein (CP) sequence, while there is no such study for either TriMV or HPWMoV. Here, we studied the genetic variation and evolutionary mechanisms of natural pop
