For the first time sequence data of a fabavirus was identified in dahlia from the UK, which was similar to virus sequence reported from dahlia in China. Initial sequences were determined by high-throughput sequencing (HTS) using the Illumina MiSeq platform, and were verified by Sanger sequencing and 5’ and 3’ rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The genome comprised two RNAs that were 5,851...

Summary Beet ringspot virus (BRSV) isolate IF came from a 1980 bait test on a Scottish soil sample. Between 1982 and 1984, it was used to study possible BRSV seed transmission in potato ( Solanum tuberosum ). To encourage flowering, potato scions were graft-inoculated onto tomato plants and these grafted plants were inoculated with IF. Flowers on BRSV-infected potato shoots were self-pollinated and their seeds collected. BRSV...
