The schizotrophic lifestyle of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. [PDF]

Mol Plant Pathol
Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a beneficial endophyte of gramineous plants but a destructive pathogen of a many dicot plants; hypovirulence‐associated DNA mycovirus SsHADV‐1 can switch it to endophytic growth in the dicot hosts. Abstract Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a cosmopolitan and typical necrotrophic phytopathogenic fungus that infects hundreds of ...

Mycovirus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. dianthi Virus 1 Decreases the Colonizing Efficiency of Its Fungal Host

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2019
Mycoviruses that induce hypovirulence in phytopathogenic fungi are interesting because their potential use as biological control agents of the plant diseases caused by their fungal hosts. The recently identified chrysovirus Fusarium oxysporum f.

A Novel Partitivirus That Confers Hypovirulence on Plant Pathogenic Fungi [PDF]

Journal of Virology, 2014
ABSTRACT Members of the family Partitiviridae have bisegmented double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) genomes and are not generally known to cause obvious symptoms in their natural hosts. An unusual partitivirus, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum partitivirus 1 (SsPV1/WF-1), conferred hypovirulence on ...

Identification of a Novel Hypovirulence-Inducing Hypovirus From Alternaria alternata [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Les mycovirus sont largement répandus dans presque tous les groupes de champignons, mais seul un petit nombre de mycovirus peut atténuer la croissance et la virulence de leurs hôtes fongiques. Alternaria alternata est un champignon ascomycète qui provoque des maladies des taches foliaires sur diverses plantes cultivées.

Functional Analysis of an Essential GSP1/Ran Ortholog Gene, CpRan1, from the Chestnut Blight Fungus Cryphonectria parasitica Using a Heterokaryon

Journal of Fungi, 2021
Functional analysis of a GSP1/Ran ortholog, CpRan1, from Cryphonectria parasitica was conducted. Genotype analysis revealed that the putative CpRan1-null mutant was a heterokaryotic transformant harboring two different types of nuclei, one with the wild ...
