Coinfection of Cotton Plants with Watermelon Mosaic Virus and a Novel Polerovirus in China

Cotton is the most important fiber crop worldwide. To determine the presence of viruses in cotton plants showing leaf roll and vein yellowing symptoms in Henan Province of China, a small RNA-based deep sequencing approach was performed. Analysis of the de novo-assembled contigs followed by reverse t...
