The identification of the viruses and viroids infecting the peach trees using transcriptome analyses. (a) The number of viral contigs associated with identified viruses and viroids in each peach transcriptome. We conducted the initial identification of viruses and viroids via MEGABLAST search against the plant virus database using the assembled contigs from each peach transcriptome. The number on each bar indicates the total number of virus-associated contigs in each peach transcriptome. (b) The portion of identified viruses and viroids based on the number of contigs associated with each virus or viroid. (c) The size of contigs associated with each identified virus or viroid. The number indicates the size of the longest viral contig for each peach transcriptome. (d) The portion of identified viruses and viroids in three different peach cultivars: MB, JH, and BC, and all six cultivars based on number of contigs associated with each virus or viroid.
