Chestnut blight, caused by Cryphonectria parasitica, is a devastating disease infecting
American and European chestnut trees. The pathogen is native to East Asia and was spread …

Mycoviruses are viruses that infect fungi. A growing number of novel mycoviruses have
expanded our knowledge of virology, particularly in taxonomy, ecology, and evolution …

Although viruses are most often studied as pathogens, many are beneficial to their hosts,
providing essential functions in some cases and conditionally beneficial functions in others …

This new edition of the universally acclaimed and widely-used textbook on fungal biology
has been completely re-written, drawing directly on the authors' research and teaching …

A mutualistic association between a fungal endophyte and a tropical panic grass allows both
organisms to grow at high soil temperatures. We characterized a virus from this fungus that …

Mycoviruses are widespread in all major groups of plant pathogenic fungi. They are
transmitted intracellularly during cell division, sporogenesis, and cell fusion, but apparently …

Fungal symbionts have been found associated with every plant studied in natural
ecosystem, where they colonize and reside entirely in the internal tissues of their host plant …

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 …

▪ Abstract Most hypovirulence in the chestnut blight fungus, Cryphonectria parasitica, is
associated with infection by fungal viruses in the family Hypoviridae. Hypovirulence has …

Since the discovery of toxin-secreting killer yeasts more than 40 years ago, research into this
phenomenon has provided insights into eukaryotic cell biology and virus–host-cell …
