Transcriptome analysis provides insights into the responses of sweet potato to sweet potato virus disease (SPVD)

Abstract

Highlights • Transcriptome responses in sweet potato infected with SPCSV and/or SPFMV were studied.• Numerous genes, miRNAs and phasiRNAs were responsive mainly to the dual infection.• Salicylic acid-mediated pathways play important roles in antiviral defense responses.
