Exploring the Mycovirus Universe: Identification, Diversity, and Biotechnological Applications

Journal of Fungi, 2023
Viruses that infect fungi are known as mycoviruses and are characterized by the lack of an extracellular phase. In recent years, the advances on nucleic acids sequencing technologies have led to a considerable increase in the number of fungi-infecting ...

Characterization of the mycovirus Aspergillus sulphureus partitivirus 1. [PDF]

Arch Virol
Fungi are frequently infected with viruses called mycoviruses. Some mycoviruses have shown potential as biocontrol agents because they can weaken the virulence of fungal plant pathogens.

The Gα subunit gene SsGpa1 regulates virulence and mycovirus horizontal transmission in Sclerotinia sclerotiorum

Phytopathology Research
Fungal vegetative incompatibility (VIC) usually inhibits the horizontal transmission of mycoviruses. Our previous work demonstrated that Sclerotinia sclerotiorum mycoreovirus 4 (SsMYRV4), a hypovirulence-associated mycovirus, suppresses VIC to facilitate

A novel double-stranded RNA mycovirus isolated from Trichoderma harzianum [PDF]

Virology Journal, 2019
Background Trichoderma spp. are used extensively in agriculture as biological control agents to prevent soil-borne plant diseases. In recent years, mycoviruses from fungi have attracted increasing attention due to their effects on their hosts, but ...

New insights into temperature-impacted mycovirus-fungus interactions regulated by a microRNA in <i>Lentinula edodes</i>. [PDF]

J Virol
The onset of symptoms in virus-infected mushrooms merits investigation. In this study, the influence of heat stress (HS) on the interaction between Lentinula edodes mycovirus HKB (LeV) and its mushroom host, Lentinula edodes, was explored, revealing that
