“…Low coverage contigs and ambiguous hits based on BLASTn were discarded for further analysis. Among the 17 viruses identified, 4 of them, SaLV, TuMV, BYMV and BWYV were already identified as Crocus sativus pathogens in previous studies 10,14,15,17,18 .…”

“…Several studies have provided evidence of C. sativus infection by various virus species, predominantly within the genus Potyvirus 9 . These include turnip mosaic virus (TuMV) 10 , narcissus mosaic virus (NMV) 11 , arabis mosaic virus (ArMV) 12 , tobacco mosaic virus (TMV), tobacco rattle virus (TRV) 13 , bean yellow mosaic virus (BYMV) 14 , beet western yellows virus (BWYV) 15 , soybean mosaic virus (SMV) 16 , iris mild mosaic virus (IMMV) 13 and iris severe mosaic virus (ISMV) 9 . Recently, two distinct potyvirus species, saffron latent virus (SaLV) 17,18 and saffron yellow mosaic virus (SYMV) 19 , have been discovered in Iran.…”

Saffron (Crocus sativus L.), a historically significant crop valued for its nutraceutical properties, has been poorly explored from a phytosanitary perspective. This study conducted a thorough examination of viruses affecting saffron samples from Spanish cultivars, using high-throughput sequencing alongside a systematic survey of transcriptomic datasets from Crocus sativus at the Sequence Read Archive. Our analysis unveiled a broad diversity and abundance, identifying 17 viruses across the 45 analyzed libraries, some of which were highly prevalent. This includes known saffron-infecting viruses and previously unreported ones. In addition, we discovered novel viruses from the Alphaflexiviridae, Betaflexiviridae, Potyviridae, Solemoviridae, and Geminiviridae families, with some present in libraries from various locations. These findings indicate that the saffron-associated virome is more complex than previously reported, emphasizing the potential of phytosanitary analysis to enhance saffron productivity.
