Viruses in the phytobiome

Curr Opin Virol. 2019 Aug:37:72-76. doi: 10.1016/j.coviro.2019.06.008. Epub 2019 Jul 13.

Abstract

The phytobiome, defined as plants and all the entities that interact with them, is rich in viruses, but with the exception of plant viruses of crop plants, most of the phytobiome viruses remain very understudied. This review focuses on the neglected portions of the phytobiome, including viruses of other microbes interacting with plants, viruses in the soil, viruses of wild plants, and relationships between viruses and the vectors of plant viruses.
