Sugarbeet roots with symptoms resembling rhizomania caused by beet necrotic yellow vein virus (BNYVV), or leaves exhibiting leaf-curling, yellowing to browning, or green mosaic were collected from the sugarbeet growing areas of California, Colorado, Idaho, Minnesota, and North Dakota. <i>In silico</i> analysis of <i>de novo</i> assembled contigs revealed the presence of nearly full-length genomes of BNYVV, beet soil-borne virus (BSBV), and beet soil-borne mosaic viruFrontiers in plant science1429402https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC11407286biostudies-literatureMeta-transcriptomic analysis reveals the geographical expansion of known sugarbeet-infecting viruses and the occurrence of a novel virus in sugarbeet in the United States.PMC11407286Ramachandran VWyatt NAChu CBloomquist MWKhan MWeiland JJChanda AKChinnadurai CNeher OTBolton MDHastings JfalseMeta-transcriptomic analysis reveals the geographical expansion of known sugarbeet-infecting viruses and the occurrence of a novel virus in sugarbeet in the United States.In this study, meta-transcriptome sequencing was conducted on a total of 18 sugarbeet (<i>Beta vulgaris</i> L. subsp<i>. vulgaris</i>) sample libraries to profile the virome of field-grown sugarbeet to identify the occurrence and distribution of known and potentially new viruses from five different states in the United States.
