Abstract Knowledge of mycovirus diversity, evolution, horizontal gene transfer and shared
ancestry with viruses infecting distantly related hosts, such as plants and arthropods, has …

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 …

Zoysia japonica, in Brazil, is commonly infected by Rhizoctonia solani (R. solani) in humid
and cool weather conditions. Eight isolates of R. solani, previously identified as belonging to …

Mitoviruses have small RNA (+) genomes, replicate in mitochondria, and have been shown
to infect only fungi to date. For this report, sequences that appear to represent nearly …

Recently, an increasing number of ourmia-like viruses have been found in fungi; however,
the features of these viruses remain unknown. Here, we report a novel ourmia-like virus …

Sustainable development relies heavily on a food system that is both safe and secure.
Several approaches may lead to sustainability and food safety. An increase in the cultivation …

Six novel mycoviruses that collectively represent the mycovirome of Rhizoctonia solani
anastomosis group (AG)-3 PT strain ZJ-2H, which causes potato black scurf, were identified …

Mitoviruses replicate in mitochondria of their host fungi. They have small RNA genomes that
encompass a single ORF encoding the viral RdRp. Since UGA codons encode Trp in fungal …

Mycoviruses, or fungal viruses, are prevalent in all significant fungal kingdoms and genera.
These low-virulence viruses can be used as biocontrol agents to manage fungal diseases …

A double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) segment was identified in Rhizoctonia solani anastomosis
group (AG)-2-2IIIB, the primary causal agent of Rhizoctonia crown and root rot of sugar beet …
