Whereas most mycoviruses lead'secret lives', some reduce the ability of their fungal hosts to
cause disease in plants. This property, known as hypovirulence, has attracted attention …

Members of the virus family Narnaviridae contain the simplest genomes of any RNA virus,
ranging from 2.3 to 3.6 kb and encoding only a single polypeptide that has an RNA …

Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) viruses in some fungi are associated with hypovirulence
and have been used or proposed as biological control agents. We isolated 7.5-kb dsRNAs …

Holothuria polii is a marine animal with an important ecological and economic impact. In the
present study we analysed the presence of mycoviruses associated to fungi that were …

Cultural practices such as organic amendments, rotations, and use of biological control
organisms are regularly investigated for their effects on controlling plant diseases but their …

We report here the biological and molecular attributes of a novel dsRNA mycovirus
designated Rhizoctonia solani partitivirus 2 (RsPV2) from strain GD-11 of R. solani AG-1 IA …

The cosmopolitan fungus Rhizoctonia solani has a wide host range and is the causal agent
of numerous crop diseases, leading to significant economic losses. To date, no cultivars …

Double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) are widespread in plant pathogenic fungi, but their
functions in fungal hosts remain mostly unclear, with a few exceptions. We analyzed …

Take‐all, caused by the fungus Gaeumannomyces graminis var. tritici, is the most important
root disease of wheat worldwide. Many years of intensive research, reflected by the large …

Abstract Purpose of Review The collective virome of forest trees can be considered to
include not only plant viruses, but also viral communities harbored by all tree-associated …
