This chapter describes an efficient approach that combines quality and yield extraction of viral nucleic acids from plants containing high levels of secondary metabolites and a sequence-independent amplification procedure for both the inventory of known plant viruses and the discovery of unknown ones. This approach turns out to be a useful tool for assessing the virome (the genome of all the viruses that inhabit a particular organism) of plants of interest. We here show that this approach enables the identification of a novel Potyvirus member within a single plant already known to be infected by two other Potyvirus species.
