Description
Solomon Maina and Leonard Tesoriero sequence a lettuce virus found in stored garlic, in an announcement from 2026. Isolate LY came from a garlic plant gathered in Yanco, New South Wales, in 1980 and kept in a herbarium since. Dried leaf RNA was read and rebuilt to give the full coding genome for lettuce necrotic yellows virus, a serious lettuce disease spread by aphids.
Gene order matched the family pattern, and the isolate shared 97.8 percent identity with a New Zealand isolate against 81.28 percent for another Australian isolate in the reported matches. Finding a lettuce virus hiding in garlic stock stresses quarantine checks on imported garlic breeding material.
