Abstract: During 2020, grapevine plants grown in Quebec, Canada were surveyed for plant viruses. A total of 77 samples were examined with high-throughput sequencing. In these, the presence of grapevine yellow speckle viroid 1 was found in 16. Other viruses and viroids such as grapevine fleck virus, grapevine rupestris stem pitting-associated virus, grapevine rupestris vein feathering virus, and hop stunt viroid were also detected.
