Temporal Dynamics of Viral Load and Genomic Diversity of Plantago Asiatica Mosaic Virus During Long-Term Infection in a Herbaceous Perennial.

Plant positive-strand RNA viruses exhibit high mutation rates that drive genetic diversity and adaptation to different hosts. While herbaceous perennials potentially serve as reservoirs for viral diversification through persistent infections, the mechanisms underlying this process remain largely unexplored. We investig...
