Abstract

The genome sequence of Southern tomato virus in asymptomatic Solanum lycopersicum 'Sweet Hearts' (STV-Florida) in Florida was assembled from small RNAs sequenced by Illumina RNA-seq. The STV-Florida genome shared 99.0 to 99.9% similarity with full genome sequences from Bangladesh, China, Mexico, and the United States (Mississippi and North Carolina).
