The study conducted a survey of viruses and viroids in both cultivated and wild grapevines, detecting multiple viruses and viroids in both populations. Differences in viral sequences between cultivated and wild grapevines suggest limited virus movement between the two populations.
Viruses and viroids prevalent in a population of 42 wild grapevines (i.e., free-living, uncultivated grapevines; Vitis spp.) were compared with those in a population of 85 cultivated grapevines collected in Tennessee, United States by RNA sequencing analysis of pools of ribosomal RNA-depleted total RNA. The sequences of 10 viruses (grapevine fleck virus, grapevine leafroll-associated virus 2, grapevine rupestris stem pitting-associated virus, grapevine Syrah virus 1, grapevine vein-clearing virus, grapevine virus B, grapevine virus E, tobacco ringspot virus, tomato ringspot virus, and a novel nano-like virus) and two viroids (hop stunt viroid and grapevine yellow speckle viroid 1) were detected in both grapevine populations. Sequences of four viruses (grapevine associated tymo-like virus, grapevine leafroll-associated virus 3, grapevine red blotch virus, and grapevine virus H) were identified only from cultivated grapevines. High, moderate, and low numbers of sequence reads were identified only from wild grapevines for a novel caulimovirus, an enamovirus, and alfalfa mosaic virus, respectively. The presence of most virus sequences and both viroids was verified independently in the original samples by reversetranscription PCR followed by Sanger sequencing. Comparison of viral sequences shared by both populations showed that cultivated and wild grapevines harbored distinct sequence variants, which suggests that there was limited virus movement between the two populations. Collectively, this study represents the first unbiased survey of viruses and viroids in both cultivated and wild grapevines within a defined geographic region.
