Infection of Two Heterologous Mycoviruses Reduces the Virulence of Valsa mali, a Fungal Agent of Apple Valsa Canker Disease

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Mycovirus infection has been widely shown to attenuate the virulence of phytopathogenic fungi. Valsa mali is an agriculturally important fungus that causes Valsa canker disease in apple trees.

Targeted Disruption of a Fungal G-Protein β Subunit Gene Results in Increased Vegetative Growth but Reduced Virulence

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 1997
Targeted disruption of two G-protein α subunit genes in the chestnut blight fungus Cryphonectria parasitica revealed roles for the Giα subunit CPG-1 in fungal reproduction, virulence, and vegetative growth.

Genome Organizations and Functional Analyses of a Novel Gammapartitivirus from Rhizoctonia solani AG-1 IA Strain D122

Viruses, 2021
Here, we describe a novel double-stranded (ds) RNA mycovirus designated Rhizoctonia solani dsRNA virus 5 (RsRV5) from strain D122 of Rhizoctonia solani AG-1 IA, the causal agent of rice sheath blight.

Review of the biology and management of large patch of warm‐season turfgrasses

Crop Science, Volume 65, Issue 2, March/April 2025.
Abstract Large patch (Rhizoctonia solani Kühn: anastomosis group [AG] 2‐2) is a destructive disease in warm‐season turfgrasses worldwide, particularly zoysiagrass (Zoysia spp.). Developing as an orange or tan color, the disease starts as small, round patches that can eventually progress to several meters in diameter.

Viroid and viroid‐like elements in plants and plant‐associated microbiota: a new layer of biodiversity for plant holobionts

New Phytologist, Volume 244, Issue 4, Page 1216-1222, November 2024.
Summary The functional relevance of plant‐associated microorganisms is theoretically framed within the holobiont concept. The role of viruses in plant holobionts is being recognized both for their direct effects when hosted in plants (cryptic plant viruses) and for their indirect effects when infecting microorganisms associated with plants in ...

ORF Ι of Mycovirus SsNSRV-1 is Associated with Debilitating Symptoms of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum

Viruses, 2020
We previously identified Sclerotinia sclerotiorum negative-stranded virus 1 (SsNSRV-1), the first (−) ssRNA mycovirus, associated with hypovirulence of its fungal host Sclerotinia sclerotiorum.

Fusarium mycotoxins: The major food contaminants

mLife, Volume 3, Issue 2, Page 176-206, June 2024.
Abstract Mycotoxins, which are secondary metabolites produced by toxicogenic fungi, are natural food toxins that cause acute and chronic adverse reactions in humans and animals. The genus Fusarium is one of three major genera of mycotoxin‐producing fungi. Trichothecenes, fumonisins, and zearalenone are the major Fusarium mycotoxins that occur worldwide.
