Manaaki Whenua - Landcare Research's video: Discovery of viruses in New Zealand native plants Webinar

@Discovery of viruses in New Zealand native plants Webinar

Many novel viruses have been discovered in asymptomatic plants by next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies. There is growing evidence that these viruses are beneficial – from attracting pollinators to increasing plants’ tolerance to abiotic stress like drought, cold, and hot soil temperature. Little is known, however, about the plant virus spectrum in native/endemic NZ flora. Using NGS, one novel Ilarvirus, a member of the family Bromoviridae, was found in the asymptomatic New Zealand native plant Hebe/Veronica sp. These types of discoveries have huge implications for biosecurity – discovering what is already there might affect our understanding of what is a ‘new organism’.
