Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) ranks among the most important crops in the world and provides nutritional and economic sustainability for subsistence farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa. Its production is mainly constrained by Sweet potato virus disease (SPVD) caused by the coinfection of two positive-sense single-stranded RNA viruses, Sweet potato chlorotic stunt virus (SPCSV) and Sweet potato feathery mottle virus (SPFMV). We performed deep sequencing of both mRNA and sRNA populations in an SPVD-susceptible cultivar Beauregard upon viral infection, to identify biological pathways that contribute to both general and specific host responses to these important viral pathogens.
