- Method / resource The Plant Virus Database contains 3,353 virus species.
- Method / resource The Plant Virus Database contains 9,010 virus-plant host interactions, more than double those reported in previous studies.
- Observation Among the database viruses, 1,986 are capable of infecting crops.
- Association Viromes of monocots and eudicots differ significantly in composition.
- Association Viromes of plants from tropical and temperate regions differ significantly in composition.
- Association dsDNA viruses have broader host ranges than other virus groups.
- Association Whether viruses are enveloped, their genome size and transmission mode show no or weak association with plant virus host range.
