biostudies-literatureUnknown14(6)Shvets DGrapevine germplasm collections are unique repositories of grape cultivars; therefore, it is necessary to minimize their infection with pathogens, including viruses, and develop various programs to maintain them in a virus-free state. In our study, we examined the virome of the largest Russian grapevine germplasm collection, the Anapa Ampelographic Collection, using high-throughput sequencing of total RNAs. As a result of bioinformatics analysis and validation of its results by reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) and quantitative RT-PCR (RT-qPCR), we identified 20 viruses and 3 viroids in 47 libraries. All samples were infected with 2 to 12 viruses and viroids, including those that cause economically significant diseases: leafroll, fleck, and rugose wood complex. For the first time in Russia, we detected Grapevine virus B (GVB), Grapevine virus F (GVF), Grapevine asteroid mosaic-associated virus (GAMaV), Grapevine Red Globe virus (GRGV), Grapevine satellite virus (GV-Sat), Grapevine virga-like virus (GVLV), Grapevine-associated jivivirus 1 (GaJV-1) and Vitis cryptic virus (VCV). A new putative representative of the genus <i>Umbravirus</i> with the provisional name Grapevine umbra-like virus (GULV) was also identified in Russian grape samples.Viruses1314https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC9230720biostudies-literatureVirome of Grapevine Germplasm from the Anapa Ampelographic Collection (Russia).PMC9230720Sandomirsky KPorotikova EVinogradova SShvets DfalseVirome of Grapevine Germplasm from the Anapa Ampelographic Collection (Russia).Grapevine germplasm collections are unique repositories of grape cultivars; therefore, it is necessary to minimize their infection with pathogens, including viruses, and develop various programs to maintain them in a virus-free state.
