High-Throughput Sequencing Reveals Previously Undetected Viruses and Mixed Infections in Pepper (Capsicum annuum) in Hungary
genome assemblies. Persistent viruses, including bell pepper alphaendornavirus (BPEV) and pepper cryptic virus 2 (PCV2), were also detected. These findings demonstrate the complex viral communities associated with cultivated pepper and highlight the limitations of strictly targeted diagnostic approaches. The results emphasize the value of HTS for comprehensive virome characterization in horticultural crops.
