"Revealing virus diversity and its maintenance mechanism in wild plants using RNA-Seq"
Research on plant viruses has been developed mainly in agricultural and horticultural studies, thus little is known about plant viruses from ecological viewpoint. However, plant viruses are very common to spread widely in natural plants. To reveal the diversity and its maintenance mechanism under natural environment are important. Moreover, viruses in wild plants can act as a reservoir of crop disease and/or strong selection pressure on host plants. We use RNA-Seq to detect viruses and reveal the plant virus diversity under natural environment. We also analyze the distribution condition and transmission route of virus to identify factor involved in diversity maintenance.
