- Abstract
Echinacea is an herbaceous plant originating from North America that is cultivated for gardening and landscaping because of its showy flowers. Using high-throughput sequencing, we identified two viral contigs from echinacea seeds that were related to the family Tombusviridae. These two viruses were similar to oat chlorotic stunt virus (OCSV) and other unassigned tombusviruses; therefore, we tentatively named them Echinacea-associated tombusviruses 1 and 2 (EaTV1 and EaTV2, respectively). The EaTVs represent putative readthrough sites and have no poly(A) tails, aligning with the common features of family Tombusviridae. The EaTVs are included in a monophyletic group of OCSV and several unassigned tombusviruses. Because OCSV is the only member of Avenavirus to date, EaTVs are tentative members of Avenavirus, or they are close sister species to OCSV with several unassigned tombusviruses. RNA-dependent RNA polymerases and coat proteins were well conserved among EaTVs and unassigned tombusviruses; however, their similarities were not correlated, implying divergent and complex evolution.
