Abstract
Fusarium head blight (FHB) continues to be a major problem in wheat production and is considered a disease complex caused by several fungal pathogens including Fusarium culmorum, F. graminearum and F. equiseti. With the objective of investigating diversity of mycoviruses in FHB-associated pathogens, we isolated Fusarium spp. from six wheat (Triticum aestivum) cultivars. In total, 56 Fusarium isolates (29 F. culmorum, 24 F. graminearum, one F. equiseti) were screened for mycoviruses by extracting and sequencing double-stranded RNA. We found that a large proportion of Fusarium isolates (46 %) were infected with mycoviruses. F. culmorum, previously described to harbor only one mycovirus, tended to host more viruses than F. graminearum, with a few isolates harboring seven mycoviruses simultaneously. Based on the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase domain analysis, ten were positive-sense single-stranded RNA viruses (related to viruses from families Mitoviridae, Botourmiaviridae, Narnaviridae, Tymoviridae, Gammaflexiviridae, as well as proposed Ambiguiviridae and ormycovirus viral group), one was double-stranded RNA virus (Partitiviridae), and five were negative-sense single-stranded RNA viruses (related to members in the families of Yueviridae, Phenuiviridae, Mymonaviridae, as well as proposed Mycoaspiviridae). Five mycoviruses were shared between F. graminearum and F. culmorum. These results increase our general understanding of mycovirology. To our knowledge, this is the first in-depth report of the mycovirome in F. culmorum and the first report on the diversity of mycoviruses from Danish isolates of FHB-causing fungi in general.

New lineages of RNA viruses from clinical isolates of Rhizopus microsporus revealed by fragmented and primer-ligated dsRNA sequencing (FLDS) analysis. mSphere 2024; 9:e0034524. [PMID: 39072615 PMCID: PMC11351042 DOI: 10.1128/msphere.00345-24] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2024] [Accepted: 06/27/2024] [Indexed: 07/30/2024] Open
Abstract
Rhizopus microsporus is a species in the order Mucorales that is known to cause mucormycosis, but it is poorly understood as a host of viruses. Here, we examined 25 clinical strains of R. microsporus for viral infection with a conventional double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) assay using agarose gel electrophoresis (AGE) and the recently established fragmented and primer-ligated dsRNA sequencing (FLDS) protocol. By AGE, five virus-infected strains were detected. Then, full-length genomic sequences of 12 novel RNA viruses were revealed by FLDS, which were related to the families Mitoviridae, Narnaviridae, and Endornaviridae, ill-defined groups of single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) viruses with similarity to the established families Virgaviridae and Phasmaviridae, and the proposed family "Ambiguiviridae." All the characterized viruses, except a potential phasmavirid with a negative-sense RNA genome, had positive-sense RNA genomes. One virus belonged to a previously established species within the family Mitoviridae, whereas the other 11 viruses represented new species or even new genera. These results show that the fungal pathogen R. microsporus harbors diverse RNA viruses and extend our understanding of the diversity of RNA viruses in the fungal order Mucorales, division Mucoromycota. Identifying RNA viruses from clinical isolates of R. microsporus may expand the repertoire of natural therapeutic agents for mucormycosis in the future.IMPORTANCEThe diversity of mycoviruses in fungal hosts in the division Mucoromycota has been underestimated, mainly within the species Rhizopus microsporus. Only five positive-sense RNA genomes had previously been discovered in this species. Because current sequencing methods poorly complete the termini of genomes, we used fragmented and primer-ligated double-stranded RNA sequencing to acquire the full-length genomes. Eleven novel mycoviruses were detected in this study, including the first negative-sense RNA genome reported in R. microsporus. Our findings extend the understanding of the viral diversity in clinical strains of Mucoromycota, may provide insights into the pathogenesis and ecology of this fungus, and may offer therapeutic options.

Abstract
In recent years, numerous oomycete mycoviruses have been discovered; however, very few studies have focused on their effects on the host oomycete phenotype. In this study, we investigated the impact of toti-like Pythium ultimum RNA virus 2 (PuRV2) infection on the phytopathogenic soil-borne oomycete Globisporangium ultimum, which serves as a model species for Globisporangium and Pythium, specifically the UOP226 isolate in Japan. We generated a PuRV2-free isogenic line through hyphal tip isolation using high-temperature culture and subsequently compared the phenotypic characteristics and gene expression profiles of UOP226 and the PuRV2-free isogenic line. Our findings revealed that the metalaxyl sensitivity of UOP226 was greater than that of the PuRV2-free isogenic line, whereas the mycelial growth rate and colony morphology remained unchanged in the absence of the fungicide. Furthermore, transcriptome analyses using RNA-seq revealed significant downregulation of ABC-type transporter genes, which are involved in fungicide sensitivity, in UOP226. Our results suggest that PuRV2 infection influences the ecology of G. ultimum in agricultural ecosystems where metalaxyl is applied.

The Virome of Cocoa Fermentation-Associated Microorganisms. Viruses 2024; 16:1226. [PMID: 39205200 PMCID: PMC11359646 DOI: 10.3390/v16081226] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2024] [Revised: 07/27/2024] [Accepted: 07/30/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024] Open
Abstract
Theobroma cacao plantations are of significant economic importance worldwide, primarily for chocolate production. During the harvest and processing of cocoa beans, they are subjected to fermentation either by microorganisms present in the environment (spontaneous fermentation) or the addition of starter cultures, with different strains directly contributing distinct flavor and color characteristics to the beans. In addition to fungi and bacteria, viruses are ubiquitous and can affect the quality of the fermentation process by infecting fermenting organisms, destabilizing microbial diversity, and consequently affecting fermentation quality. Therefore, in this study, we explored publicly available metatranscriptomic libraries of cocoa bean fermentation in Limon Province, Costa Rica, looking for viruses associated with fermenting microorganisms. Libraries were derived from the same sample at different time points: 7, 20, and 68 h of fermentation, corresponding to yeast- and lactic acid bacteria-driven phases. Using a comprehensive pipeline, we identified 68 viral sequences that could be assigned to 62 new viral species and 6 known viruses distributed among at least nine families, with particular abundance of elements from the Lenarviricota phylum. Interestingly, 44 of these sequences were specifically associated with ssRNA phages (Fiersviridae) and mostly fungi-infecting viral families (Botourmiaviridae, Narnaviridae, and Mitoviridae). Of note, viruses from those families show a complex evolutionary relationship, transitioning from infecting bacteria to infecting fungi. We also identified 10 and 3 viruses classified within the Totiviridae and Nodaviridae families, respectively. The quantification of the virus-derived RNAs shows a general pattern of decline, similar to the dynamic profile of some microorganism genera during the fermentation process. Unexpectedly, we identified narnavirus-related elements that showed similarity to segmented viral species. By exploring the molecular characteristics of these viral sequences and applying Hidden Markov Models, we were capable of associating these additional segments with a specific taxon. In summary, our study elucidates the complex virome associated with the microbial consortia engaged in cocoa bean fermentation that could contribute to organism/strain selection, altering metabolite production and, consequently, affecting the sensory characteristics of cocoa beans.

Abstract
The insect order Blattodea (cockroaches and termites) has drawn substantial research attention for their dietary habits and lifestyle of living with or around humans. In the present study, we focused on the discovery of RNA viruses hidden in Blattodea insects using the publicly available RNA sequencing datasets. Overall, 136 distinctive RNA viruses were identified from 36 Blattodea species, of which more than 70 % were most closely related to the invertebrate-associated viral groups within Picornavirales, Sobelivirales, Bunyaviricetes, Jingchuvirales, Durnavirales, Lispiviridae, Orthomyxoviridae, Permutotetraviridae, Flaviviridae and Muvirales. Several viruses were associated with pathogens of vertebrates (Paramyxoviridae), plants (Tymovirales), protozoa (Totiviridae), fungi (Narnaviridae) and bacteria (Norzivirales). Collectively, 93 complete or near-complete viral genomes were retrieved from the datasets, and several viruses appeared to have remarkable temporal and spatial distributions. Interestingly, the newly identified Periplaneta americana dicistrovirus displayed a remarkable distinct bicistronic genome arrangement from the well-recognized dicistroviruses with the translocated structural and non-structural polyprotein encoding open reading frames over the genome. These results significantly enhance our knowledge of RNA virosphere in Blattodea insects, and the novel genome architectures in dicistroviruses and other RNA viruses may break our stereotypes in the understanding of the genomic evolution and the emergence of potential novel viral species.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Like all other species, fungi are susceptible to infection by viruses. The diversity of fungal viruses has been rapidly expanding in recent years due to the availability of advanced sequencing technologies. However, compared to other virome studies, the research on fungi-associated viruses remains limited. RESULTS In this study, we downloaded and analyzed over 200 public datasets from approximately 40 different Bioprojects to explore potential fungal-associated viral dark matter. A total of 12 novel viral sequences were identified, all of which are RNA viruses, with lengths ranging from 1,769 to 9,516 nucleotides. The amino acid sequence identity of all these viruses with any known virus is below 70%. Through phylogenetic analysis, these RNA viruses were classified into different orders or families, such as Mitoviridae, Benyviridae, Botourmiaviridae, Deltaflexiviridae, Mymonaviridae, Bunyavirales, and Partitiviridae. It is possible that these sequences represent new taxa at the level of family, genus, or species. Furthermore, a co-evolution analysis indicated that the evolutionary history of these viruses within their groups is largely driven by cross-species transmission events. CONCLUSIONS These findings are of significant importance for understanding the diversity, evolution, and relationships between genome structure and function of fungal viruses. However, further investigation is needed to study their interactions.

Abstract
Mycoviruses have been found in various fungal species across different taxonomic groups, while no viruses have been reported yet in the fungus Exserohilum rostratum. In this study, a novel orfanplasmovirus, namely Exserohilum rostratum orfanplasmovirus 1 (ErOrfV1), was identified in the Exserohilum rostratum strain JZ1 from maize leaf. The complete genome of ErOrfV1 consists of two positive single-stranded RNA segments, encoding an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase and a hypothetical protein with unknown function, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that ErOrfV1 clusters with other orfanplasmoviruses, forming a distinct phyletic clade. A new family, Orfanplasmoviridae, is proposed to encompass this newly discovered ErOrfV1 and its associated orfanplasmoviruses. ErOrfV1 exhibits effective vertical transmission through conidia, as evidenced by its 100% presence in over 200 single conidium isolates. Moreover, it can be horizontally transmitted to Exserohilum turcicum. Additionally, the infection of ErOrfV1 is cryptic in E. turcicum because there were no significant differences in mycelial growth rate and colony morphology between ErOrfV1-infected and ErOrfV1-free strains. This study represents the inaugural report of a mycovirus in E. rostratum, as well as the first documentation of the biological and transmission characteristics of orfanplasmovirus. These discoveries significantly contribute to our understanding of orfanplasmovirus.

Abstract
As a common disease, canker seriously affects the yield and quality of fragrant pear due to the lack of effective control measures. Some fungi have been reported to harbor rich reservoirs of viral resources, and some mycoviruses can be used as biocontrol agents against plant diseases. In this study, 199 isolates were obtained from diseased branches of fragrant pear in the main production areas of Xinjiang. Among them, 134 belonged to Valsa spp., identified using morphological and molecular biological techniques, in which V. mali was the dominant species. The mycoviruses in Valsa spp. were further identified using metatranscriptomic sequencing and RT-PCR. The results revealed that a total of seven mycoviruses were identified, belonging to Botourmiaviridae, Endornaviridae, Fusariviridae, Hypoviridae, Mitoviridae, and Narnaviridae, among which Phomopsis longicolla hypovirus (PlHV) was dominant in all the sample collection regions. The Cryphonectria hypovirus 3-XJ1 (CHV3-XJ1), Botourmiaviridae sp.-XJ1 (BVsp-XJ1), and Fusariviridae sp.-XJ1 (Fvsp-XJ1) were new mycoviruses discovered within the Valsa spp. More importantly, compared with those in the virus-free Valsa spp. strain, the growth rate and virulence of the VN-5 strain co-infected with PlHV and CHV3-XJ1 were reduced by 59% and 75%, respectively, and the growth rate and virulence of the VN-34 strain infected with PlHV were reduced by 42% and 55%, respectively. On the other hand, the horizontal transmission efficiency of PlHV decreased when PlHV was co-infected with CHV3-XJ1, indicating that PlHV and CHV3-XJ1 were antagonistic. In summary, the mycoviruses in Valsa spp. were identified in Xinjiang for the first time, and three of them were newly discovered mycoviruses, with two strains yielding good results. These results will offer potential biocontrol resources for managing pear canker disease and provide a theoretical basis for the control of fruit tree Valsa canker disease.

The complete genome sequences of a negative single-stranded RNA virus and a double-stranded RNA virus coinfecting the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana Vuillemin. Arch Virol 2024; 169:42. [PMID: 38332318 DOI: 10.1007/s00705-024-05985-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2023] [Accepted: 01/11/2024] [Indexed: 02/10/2024]
Abstract
Beauveria bassiana Vuillemin is an entomopathogenic fungus that has been developed as a biological insecticide. B. bassiana can be infected by single or multiple mycoviruses, most of which are double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) viruses, while infections with single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) viruses, especially negative single-stranded RNA (-ssRNA) viruses, have been observed less frequently. In the present study, we sequenced and analyzed the complete genomes of two new different mycoviruses coinfecting a single B. bassiana strain: a -ssRNA virus which we have named "Beauveria bassiana negative-strand RNA virus 1" (BbNSRV1), and a dsRNA virus, which we have named "Beauveria bassiana orthocurvulavirus 1" (BbOCuV1). The genome of BbNSRV1 consists of a single segment of negative-sense, single-stranded RNA with a length of 6169 nt, containing a single open reading frame (ORF) encoding a putative RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) with 1949 aa (220.1 kDa). BLASTx analysis showed that the RdRp had the highest sequence similarity (59.79%) to that of Plasmopara viticola lesion associated mononegaambi virus 2, a member of the family Mymonaviridae. This is the first report of a -ssRNA mycovirus infecting B. bassiana. The genome of BbOCuV1 consists of two dsRNA segments, 2164 bp and 1765 bp in length, respectively, with dsRNA1 encoding a protein with conserved RdRp motifs and 70.75% sequence identity to the putative RdRp of the taxonomically unassigned mycovirus Fusarium graminearum virus 5 (FgV5), and the dsRNA2 encoding a putative coat protein with sequence identity 64.26% to the corresponding protein of the FgV5. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that BbOCuV1 belongs to a taxonomically unassigned group of dsRNA mycoviruses related to members of the families Curvulaviridae and Partitiviridae. Hence, it might be the member of a new family that remains to be named and formally recognized.

Abstract
Here, a novel mycovirus, Botryosphaeria dothidea narnavirus 5 (BdNV5), was discovered in the plant-pathogenic fungus Botryosphaeria dothidea strain ZM210167-1. The BdNV5 genome sequence is 2,397 nucleotides (nt) in length and contains a putative open reading frame (ORF) encoding an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) with a molecular mass of 72.77 kDa. A BLASTp search using the RdRp amino acid (aa) sequence showed that it was most similar to the RdRp of Botryosphaeria dothidea narnavirus 4 (42.35%). In a phylogenetic tree based on RdRp aa sequences, BdNV5 clustered with members of the family Narnaviridae. BdNV5 is thus a novel member of the family Narnaviridae infecting the phytopathogenic fungus B. dothidea.

Conserved untranslated regions of multipartite viruses: Natural markers of novel viral genomic components and tags of viral evolution. Virus Evol 2024; 10:veae004. [PMID: 38361819 PMCID: PMC10868557 DOI: 10.1093/ve/veae004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2023] [Revised: 12/20/2023] [Accepted: 01/09/2024] [Indexed: 02/17/2024] Open
Abstract
Viruses with split genomes are classified as being either segmented or multipartite based on whether their genomic segments occur within a single virion or across different virions. Despite variations in number and sequence during evolution, the genomic segments of many viruses are conserved within the untranslated regions (UTRs). In this study, we present a methodology that combines RNA sequencing with iterative BLASTn of UTRs (https://github.com/qq371260/Iterative-blast-v.1.0) to identify new viral genomic segments. Some novel multipartite-like viruses related to the phylum Kitrinoviricota were annotated using sequencing data from field plant samples and public databases. We identified potentially plant-infecting jingmen-related viruses (order Amarillovirales) and jivi-related viruses (order Martellivirales) with at least six genomic components. The number of RNA molecules associated with a genome of the novel viruses in the families Closteroviridae, Kitaviridae, and Virgaviridae within the order Martellivirales reached five. Several of these viruses seem to represent new taxa at the subgenus, genus, and family levels. The diversity of novel genomic components and the multiple duplication of proteins or protein domains within single or multiple genomic components emphasize the evolutionary roles of genetic recombination (horizontal gene transfer), reassortment, and deletion. The relatively conserved UTRs at the genome level might explain the relationships between monopartite and multipartite viruses, as well as how subviral agents such as defective RNAs and satellite viruses can coexist with their helper viruses.

New clades of viruses infecting the obligatory biotroph Bremia lactucae representing distinct evolutionary trajectory for viruses infecting oomycetes. Virus Evol 2024; 10:veae003.

Abstract
Recent advances in high throughput sequencing (HTS) approaches allowed a broad exploration of viromes from different fungal hosts, unveiling a great diversity of mycoviruses with interesting evolutionary features. The word mycovirus historically applies also to viruses infecting oomycetes but most studies are on viruses infecting fungi, with less mycoviruses found and characterized in oomycetes, particularly in the obligatory biotrophs. We, here, describe the first virome associated to Bremia lactucae, the causal agent of lettuce downy mildew, which is an important biotrophic pathogen for lettuce production and a model system for the molecular aspects of the plant-oomycetes interactions. Among the identified viruses, we could detect (1) two new negative sense ssRNA viruses related to the yueviruses, (2) the first example of permuted RdRp in a virus infecting fungi/oomycetes, (3) a new group of bipartite dsRNA viruses showing evidence of recent bi-segmentation and concomitantly, a possible duplication event bringing a bipartite genome to tripartite, (4) a first representative of a clade of viruses with evidence of recombination between distantly related viruses, (5) a new open reading frame (ORF)an virus encoding for an RdRp with low homology to known RNA viruses, and (6) a new virus, belonging to riboviria but not conserved enough to provide a conclusive phylogenetic placement that shows evidence of a recombination event between a kitrinoviricota-like and a pisuviricota-like sequence. The results obtained show a great diversity of viruses and evolutionary mechanisms previously unreported for oomycetes-infecting viruses, supporting the existence of a large diversity of oomycetes-specific viral clades ancestral of many fungal and insect virus clades.

Abstract
Mycoviruses have been described in all major fungal taxonomic groups. There has been much focus on commercially cultivated basidiomycetous macrofungi, while attention to viruses from ascomycetous macrofungi is lacking. Therefore, in this study, we conducted viral screening against fungal mycelia that were regenerated from ascomycetous macrofungi using agarose gel electrophoresis (AGE) and fragmented and primer-ligated dsRNA sequencing (FLDS). Among the 57 isolates, four isolates were detected with virus-like bands through screening with AGE, and subsequent FLDS analyses determined the viral sequences. Other isolates without virus-like bands in AGE were pooled to check for viral sequences. Using FLDS analysis, a total of seven new mycoviruses were identified, including two double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) viruses belonging to Quadriviridae and Partitiviridae, five positive-sense single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) viruses (three belonging to Mitoviridae, one belonging to Endornaviridae and one belonging to Virgaviridae). All viruses characterized in this study are novel species, and all the hosts are firstly reported to be infected by mycoviruses. These findings expand our knowledge of the diversity of mycoviruses from macrofungi in natural environments.

Abstract
This chapter describes protocols suitable for the detection and identification of RNA viruses infecting oomycetes (so-called water molds of Kingdom Heterokonta, Stramenopila), focusing on species of Phytophthora and exemplified by P. fragariae. The protocol includes laboratory procedures for oomycete cultivation and total RNA extraction from harvested mycelia, followed by instructions on suitable parameters given for sequencing companies on ribosomal RNA depletion, cDNA library preparation, and total RNA-sequencing (RNA-Seq). We also describe the bioinformatics steps needed for de novo assembly of raw reads into contigs, removal of host-associated contigs, and virus identification by database searches, as well as host validation by RT-PCR. All steps are described using an exemplar RNA-Seq library containing a yet undescribed fusagravirus hosted by a P. fragariae isolate.

Abstract
In the present study, sixteen novel RNA mycoviruses co-infecting a single strain of Rhizoctonia zeae (strain D40) were identified and molecularly characterized using metatranscriptome sequencing combined with a method for rapid amplification of cDNA ends. The fungal strain was isolated from diseased seedlings of sugar beet with damping-off symptoms. Based on genome analysis and phylogenetic analysis of amino acid sequences of RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, the sixteen mycoviruses associated with strain D40 contained three genome types with nine distinct lineages, including positive single-stranded RNA (Hypoviridae, Yadokariviridae, Botourmiaviridae, and Gammaflexiviridae), double-stranded RNA (Phlegiviridae, Megabirnaviridae, Megatotiviridae, and Yadonushiviridae), and negative single-stranded RNA (Tulasviridae), suggesting a complex composition of a mycoviral community in this single strain of R. zeae (strain D40). Full genome sequences of six novel mycoviruses and the nearly full-length sequences of the remaining ten novel mycoviruses were obtained. Furthermore, seven of these sixteen mycoviruses were confirmed to assemble virus particles present in the R. zeae strain D40. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first detailed study of mycoviruses infecting R. zeae.

Abstract
Discoviridae is a family of negative-sense RNA viruses with genomes of 6.2-9.7 kb that have been associated with fungi and stramenopiles. The discovirid genome consists of three monocistronic RNA segments with open reading frames (ORFs) that encode a nucleoprotein (NP), a nonstructural protein (Ns), and a large (L) protein containing an RNA-directed RNA polymerase (RdRP) domain. This is a summary of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) Report on the family Discoviridae, which is available at ictv.global/report/discoviridae.

Abstract
Yueviridae is a family of negative-sense RNA viruses with genomes of 7.8-8.2 kb that have been associated with crustaceans, insects, stramenopiles and plants. The yuevirid genome consist of two segments, each with at least one ORF. The large (L) segment ORF encodes a large protein containing an RNA-directed RNA polymerase domain. The small (S) segment ORF encodes a nucleocapsid protein. This is a summary of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) Report on the family Yueviridae, which is available at http://www.ictv.global/report/yueviridae.

Abstract
Among other pathogens, more than 80 viruses infect grapevine. The aim of this work was to study the virome diversity of grapevine viruses and mycoviruses of a vineyard using high-throughput sequencing technologies. The grapevine virome was studied in symptomatic vines of the Rkatsiteli cultivar (V. vinifera) collected at the vineyards of the Krasnodar Krai in Russia. Ribosomal-depleted total RNA and isolated small RNAs were used for library preparation and high-throughput sequencing. Six grapevine-infecting viruses and two viroids were validated by RT-PCR and analyzed phylogenetically. We identified the presence of grapevine leafroll-associated virus 3, grapevine Pinot gris virus, grapevine virus T, grapevine rupestris stem-pitting-associated virus, grapevine fleck virus, and grapevine rupestris vein feathering virus, as well as two viroids, grapevine yellow speckle viroid 1 and hop stunt viroid. We also studied the mycovirome of the vineyard and identified nine viruses with single-stranded positive-sense RNA genomes: alternaria arborescens mitovirus 1, botrytis cinerea mitovirus 1, botrytis cinerea mitovirus 2, botrytis cinerea mitovirus 3, botrytis cinerea mitovirus 4, sclerotinia sclerotiorum mitovirus 3, botrytis cinerea hypovirus 1, grapevine-associated narnavirus 1, and botrytis virus F. In addition, we identified botrytis cinerea hypovirus 1 satellite-like RNA and two single-stranded negative-sense RNA viruses. This is the first study of grapevine mycoviruses in Russia. The obtained result will contribute to the development of biocontrol strategies in the future.

PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 12:3300. [PMID: 37765464 PMCID: PMC10538141 DOI: 10.3390/plants12183300] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2023] [Revised: 08/29/2023] [Accepted: 09/13/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023]
Abstract
In this study, we identified Plasmopara-viticola-lesion-associated mononegaambi virus 3 (recently classified as Penicillimonavirus gammaplasmoparae), a fungi-associated mymonavirus, in grapevine plants showing an unusual upward curling symptomatology on the leaves and premature decline. Mymonaviridae is a family comprising nine genera of negative-sense single-stranded RNA viruses infecting filamentous fungi, although few of them have been associated with oomycetes, plants, and insects. Although the first mymonavirus genome description was reported a decade ago, the genome organization of several genera in the family, including the genus Penicillimonavirus, has remained unclear to date. We have determined the complete genome of P. gammaplasmoparae, which represents the first complete genomic sequence for this genus. Moreover, we provide strong evidence that P. gammaplasmoparae genome is bipartite and comprises two RNA molecules of around 6150 and 4560 nt. Our results indicate that the grapevine powdery mildew pathogen, Erysiphe necator, was also present in the analyzed plants and suggest P. gammaplasmoparae could be infecting this fungus. However, whether the fungus and/or the mycovirus are associated with the symptomatology that initially prompted these efforts remains to be determined.

Abstract
Suillus luteus is a widespread edible ectomycorrhizal fungus that holds significant importance in both ecological and economic value. Mycoviruses are ubiquitous infectious agents hosted in different fungi, with some known to exert beneficial or detrimental effects on their hosts. However, mycoviruses hosted in ectomycorrhizal fungi remain poorly studied. To address this gap in knowledge, we employed next-generation sequencing (NGS) to investigate the virome of S. luteus. Using BLASTp analysis and phylogenetic tree construction, we identified 33 mycovirus species, with over half of them belonging to the phylum Lenarviricota, and 29 of these viruses were novel. These mycoviruses were further grouped into 11 lineages, with the discovery of a new negative-sense single-stranded RNA viral family in the order Bunyavirales. In addition, our findings suggest the occurrence of cross-species transmission (CST) between the fungus and ticks, shedding light on potential evolutionary events that have shaped the viral community in different hosts. This study is not only the first study to characterize mycoviruses in S. luteus but highlights the enormous diversity of mycoviruses and their implications for virus evolution.

Abstract
Despite the fact that Cladosporium sp. are ubiquitous fungi, their viromes have been little studied. By analysing a collection of Cladosporium fungi, two new partitiviruses named Cladosporium cladosporioides partitivirus 1 (CcPV1) and Cladosporium cladosporioides partitivirus 2 (CcPV2) co-infecting a strain of Cladosporium cladosporioides were identified. Their complete genome consists of two monocistronic dsRNA segments (RNA1 and RNA2) with a high percentage of pairwise identity on 5' and 3' end. The RNA directed RNA polymerase (RdRp) of both viruses and the capsid protein (CP) of CcPV1 display the classic characteristics required for their assignment to the Gammapartitivirus genus. In contrast, CcPV2 RNA2 encodes for a 41 KDa CP that is unusually smaller when aligned to CPs of other viruses classified in this genus. The structural role of this protein is confirmed by electrophoresis on acrylamide gel of purified viral particles. Despite the low percentage of identity between the capsid proteins of CcPV1 and CcPV2, their three-dimensional structures predicted by AlphaFold2 show strong similarities and confirm functional proximity. Fifteen similar viral sequences of unknown function were annotated using the CcPV2 CP sequence. The phylogeny of the CP was highly consistent with the phylogeny of their corresponding RdRp, supporting the organization of Gammapartitiviruses into three distinct clades despite stretching the current demarcation criteria. It is proposed that a new subgenus be created within the genus Gammapartitivirus for this new group.

Abstract
In this study, a novel single-stranded RNA virus was isolated from the plant-pathogenic fungus Setosphaeria turcica strain TG2, and the virus was named "Setosphaeria turcica ambiguivirus 2" (StAV2). The complete nucleotide sequence of the StAV2 genome was determined using RT-PCR and RLM-RACE. The StAV2 genome comprises 3,000 nucleotides with a G+C content of 57.77%. StAV2 contains two in-frame open reading frames (ORFs) with the potential to produce an ORF1-ORF2 fusion protein via a stop codon readthrough mechanism. ORF1 encodes a hypothetical protein (HP) of unknown function. The ORF2-encoded protein shows a high degree of sequence similarity to the RNA-dependent RNA polymerases (RdRps) of ambiguiviruses. BLASTp searches showed that the StAV2 HP and RdRp share the highest amino acid sequence identity (46.38% and 69.23%, respectively) with the corresponding proteins of a virus identified as "Riboviria sp." isolated from a soil sample. Multiple sequence alignments and phylogenetic analysis based on the amino acid sequences of the RdRp revealed that StAV2 is a new member of the proposed family "Ambiguiviridae".

Abstract
Trichoderma genus includes soil-inhabiting fungi that provide important ecosystem services in their interaction with plants and other fungi, as well as biocontrol of fungal plant diseases. A collection of Trichoderma isolates from Sardinia has been previously characterized, but here we selected 113 isolates, representatives of the collection, and characterized their viral components. We carried out high-throughput sequencing of ribosome-depleted total RNA following a bioinformatics pipeline that detects virus-derived RNA-directed RNA polymerases (RdRps) and other conserved viral protein sequences. This pipeline detected seventeen viral RdRps with two of them corresponding to viruses already detected in other regions of the world and the remaining fifteen representing isolates of new putative virus species. Surprisingly, eight of them are from new negative-sense RNA viruses, a first in the genus Trichoderma. Among them is a cogu-like virus, closely related to plant-infecting viruses. Regarding the positive-sense viruses, we report the presence of an 'ormycovirus' belonging to a recently characterized group of bisegmented single-stranded RNA viruses with uncertain phylogenetic assignment. Finally, for the first time, we report a bisegmented member of Mononegavirales which infects fungi. The proteins encoded by the second genomic RNA of this virus were used to re-evaluate several viruses in the Penicillimonavirus and Plasmopamonavirus genera, here shown to be bisegmented and encoding a conserved polypeptide that has structural conservation with the nucleocapsid domain of rhabdoviruses.

Abstract
Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc) is a devastating plant pathogen that caused a great financial loss in the banana's source area. Metatranscriptomic analysis was used to determine the diversity of mycoviruses in 246 isolates of F. oxysporum f. sp. cubense. Partial or nearly complete genomes of 20 mycoviruses were obtained by BLASTp analysis of RNA sequences using the NCBI database. These 20 viruses were grouped into five distinct lineages, namely Botourmiaviridae, Endornaviridae, Mitoviridae, Mymonaviridae, Partitiviridae, and two non-classified mycoviruses lineages. To date, there is no report of the presence of mycoviruses in this pathogen. In this study, we demonstrate the presence of mycoviruses isolated from Foc. These findings enhance our overall knowledge of viral diversity and taxonomy in Foc. Further characterization of these mycoviruses is warranted, especially in terms of exploring these novel mycoviruses for innovative biocontrol of banana Fusarium wilt disease.

Abstract
Anastomosis groups (AGs) or subgroups of 244 Rhizoctonia isolates recovered from sugar beet roots with symptoms of root and crown rot were characterized to be AG-A, AG-K, AG-2-2IIIB, AG-2-2IV, AG-3 PT, AG-4HGI, AG-4HGII, and AG-4HGIII, with AG-4HGI (108 isolates, 44.26%) and AG-2-2IIIB (107 isolates, 43.85%) being predominate. Four unclassified mycoviruses and one hundred and one putative mycoviruses belonging to six families, namely Mitoviridae (60.00%), Narnaviridae (18.10%), Partitiviridae (7.62%), Benyviridae (4.76%), Hypoviridae (3.81%), and Botourmiaviridae (1.90%), were found to be present in these 244 Rhizoctonia isolates, most of which (88.57%) contained positive single-stranded RNA genome. The 244 Rhizoctonia isolates were all sensitive to flutolanil and thifluzamide, with average median effective concentration (EC50) value of 0.3199 ± 0.0149 μg·mL-1 and 0.1081 ± 0.0044 μg·mL-1, respectively. Among the 244 isolates, except for 20 Rhizoctonia isolates (seven isolates of AG-A and AG-K, one isolate of AG-4HGI, and 12 isolates of AG-4HGII), 117 isolates of AG-2-2IIIB, AG-2-2IV, AG-3 PT, and AG-4HGIII, 107 isolates of AG-4HGI, and six isolates of AG-4HGII were sensitive to pencycuron, with average EC50 value of 0.0339 ± 0.0012 μg·mL-1. Correlation index (ρ) of cross-resistance level between flutolanil and thifluzamide, flutolanil and pencycuron, and thifluzamide and pencycuron was 0.398, 0.315, and 0.125, respectively. This is the first detailed study on AG identification, mycovirome analysis, and sensitivity to flutolanil, thifluzamide, and pencycuron of Rhizoctonia isolates associated with sugar beet root and crown rot.

PLANT COMMUNICATIONS 2023; 4:100505. [PMID: 36527233 DOI: 10.1016/j.xplc.2022.100505] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2022] [Revised: 11/16/2022] [Accepted: 12/14/2022] [Indexed: 05/11/2023]
Abstract
Here we describe a novel narnavirus, Puccinia striiformis virus 5 (PsV5), from the devastating wheat stripe rust fungus P. striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst). The genome of PsV5 contains two predicted open reading frames (ORFs) that largely overlap on reverse strands: an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) and a reverse-frame ORF (rORF) with unknown function. Protein translations of both ORFs were demonstrated by immune technology. Transgenic wheat lines overexpressing PsV5 (RdRp-rORF), RdRp ORF, or rORF were more susceptible to Pst infection, whereas PsV5-RNA interference (RNAi) lines were more resistant. Overexpression of PsV5 (RdRp-rORF), RdRp ORF, or rORF in Fusarium graminearum also boosted fungal virulence. We thus report a novel ambigrammatic mycovirus that promotes the virulence of its fungal host. The results are a significant addition to our understanding of virosphere diversity and offer insights for sustainable wheat rust disease control.

Abstract
RNA viruses are abundant and highly diverse and infect all or most eukaryotic organisms. However, only a tiny fraction of the number and diversity of RNA virus species have been catalogued. To cost-effectively expand the diversity of known RNA virus sequences, we mined publicly available transcriptomic data sets. We developed 77 family-level Hidden Markov Model profiles for the viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp)-the only universal "hallmark" gene of RNA viruses. By using these to search the National Center for Biotechnology Information Transcriptome Shotgun Assembly database, we identified 5,867 contigs encoding RNA virus RdRps or fragments thereof and analyzed their diversity, taxonomic classification, phylogeny, and host associations. Our study expands the known diversity of RNA viruses, and the 77 curated RdRp Profile Hidden Markov Models provide a useful resource for the virus discovery community.

Abstract
Viruses that naturally infect fungal species and capable of establishing mycorrhizae are largely unknown. In this study, we identified and characterized a new partitivirus inhabiting the ascomycete, mycorrhizal desert truffle species Terfezia claveryi, and named it "Terfezia claveryi partitivirus 1" (TcPV1). The entire genome of TcPV1, sequenced by both high throughput sequencing of the total dsRNA extracts and by Sanger sequencing of the RLM-RACE PCR products comprised two dsRNA segments of 2404 bp and 2374 bp, respectively. Both dsRNA genome segments harbored a single open reading frame (ORF), encoding a putative RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), and a capsid protein (CP), respectively. The BLASTp search of the RdRp and CP sequences revealed the highest sequence identities (41.92% and 24.13% identity, respectively) to those of Bipolaris maydis partitivirus 2 and Plasmopara viticola lesion associated partitivirus 5. Molecular phylogenetic analyses of the RdRp sequence showed that TcPV1 fall within a clade composed entirely of members of the genus Betapartitivirus, belonging to the family Partitiviridae. In light of this molecular evidence, TcPV1 is a new member of the genus Betapartitivirus. This is the first report of a new partitivirus hosted by the ascomycete, mycorrhizal fungus T. claveryi.

Abstract
Here, we describe a novel ourmia-like virus, Botryosphaeria dothidea ourmia-like virus 2 (BdOLV2), derived from the phytopathogenic fungus Botryosphaeria dothidea strain ZM180192-1 infecting maize in Henan province of China. The complete genome sequence of BdOLV2 consists of a positive-sense single-stranded RNA (+ ssRNA) segment with a length of 2,532 nucleotides (nt). The sequence contains a large open reading frame (ORF) encoding a putative RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) consisting of 605 amino acids (aa) with a molecular mass of 68.59 kDa. This RdRp protein contains eight typical conserved motifs associated with ourmia-like viruses. BLASTp analysis revealed that the RdRp protein of BdOLV2 had the highest similarity (62.10%, 58.15%, and 55.75% identity, respectively) to a virus previously identified as "Botourmiaviridae sp.", Macrophomina phaseolina ourmia-like virus 2, and Macrophomina phaseolina ourmia-like virus 2-A. Phylogenetic analysis based on the RdRp aa sequence indicated that BdOLV2 is a new member of the genus Magoulivirus in the family Botourmiaviridae.

Abstract
In this study, the diversity of putative mycoviruses present in 66 strains of binucleate Rhizoctonia (BNR, including anastomosis group (AG)-A, AG-Fa, AG-K, and AG-W) and 192 strains of multinucleate Rhizoctonia (MNR, including AG-1-IA, AG-2-1, AG-3 PT, AG-4HGI, AG-4HGII, AG-4HGIII, and AG-5), which are the causal agents of potato stem canker or black scurf, was studied using metatranscriptome sequencing. The number of contigs related to mycoviruses identified from BNR and MNR was 173 and 485, respectively. On average, each strain of BNR accommodated 2.62 putative mycoviruses, while each strain of MNR accommodated 2.53 putative mycoviruses. Putative mycoviruses detected in both BNR and MNR contained positive single-stranded RNA (+ssRNA), double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), and negative single-stranded RNA (-ssRNA) genomes, with +ssRNA genome being the prevalent nucleic acid type (82.08% in BNR and 75.46% in MNR). Except for 3 unclassified, 170 putative mycoviruses found in BNR belonged to 13 families; excluding 33 unclassified, 452 putative mycoviruses found in MNR belonged to 19 families. Through genome organization, multiple alignments, and phylogenetic analyses, 4 new parititviruses, 39 novel mitoviruses, and 4 new hypoviruses with nearly whole genome were detected in the 258 strains of BNR and MNR.

Abstract
The characterization of viruses from environmental samples could aid in our understanding of their ecological significance and potential for biotechnological exploitation. While there has been much focus on pathogenic fungi or commercially cultivated mushrooms, attention to viruses from wild Basidiomycota mushrooms is lacking. Therefore, in this study, we conducted viral screening of fungal mycelia isolated from wild basidiocarps using agarose gel electrophoresis (AGE) and fragmented and primer-ligated dsRNA sequencing (FLDS). Among the 51 isolates, seven isolates were detected with virus-like bands during the initial screening with AGE, but only five isolates were detected with viruses after long-term storage. Using the FLDS method, we obtained seven viral genome sequences, including five double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) viruses belonging to Partitiviridae and Curvulaviridae, one positive-sense single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) virus belonging to Endornaviridae and one negative-sense ssRNA virus belonging to Tulasviridae (Bunyavirales). All viruses characterized in this study are novel species. These findings greatly expanded our knowledge of the diversity of RNA viruses from environmental samples.

Abstract
Although segmented negative-sense RNA viruses (SNSRVs) have been frequently discovered in various fungi, most SNSRVs reported only the large segments. In this study, we investigated the diversity of the mycoviruses in the phytopathogenic fungus Fusarium asiaticum using the metatranscriptomic technique. We identified 17 fungal single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) viruses including nine viruses within Mitoviridae, one each in Narnaviridae, Botourmiaviridae, Hypoviridae, Fusariviridae, and Narliviridae, two in Mymonaviridae, and one trisegmented virus temporarily named Fusarium asiaticum mycobunyavirus 1 (FaMBV1). The FaMBV1 genome comprises three RNA segments, large (L), medium (M), and small (S) with 6,468, 2,639, and 1,420 nucleotides, respectively. These L, M, and S segments putatively encode the L protein, glycoprotein, and nucleocapsid, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis based on the L protein showed that FaMBV1 is phylogenetically clustered with Alternaria tenuissima negative-stranded RNA virus 2 (AtNSRV2) and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum negative-stranded RNA virus 5 (SsNSRV5) but distantly related to the members of the family Phenuiviridae. FaMBV1 could be vertically transmitted by asexual spores with lower efficiency (16.7%, 2/42). Comparison between FaMBV1-free and -infected fungal strains revealed that FaMBV1 has little effect on hyphal growth, pathogenicity, and conidium production, and its M segment is dispensable for viral replication and lost during subculture and asexual conidiation. The M and S segments of AtNSRV2 and SsNSRV5 were found using bioinformatics methods, indicating that the two fungal NSRVs harbor trisegmented genomes. Our results provide a new example of the existence and evolution of the segmented negative-sense RNA viruses in fungi. IMPORTANCE Fungal segmented negative-sense RNA viruses (SNSRVs) have been frequently found. Only the large segment encoding RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) has been reported in most fungal SNSRVs, except for a few fungal SNSRVs reported to encode nucleocapsids, nonstructural proteins, or movement proteins. Virome analysis of the Fusarium spp. that cause Fusarium head blight discovered a novel virus, Fusarium asiaticum mycobunyavirus 1 (FaMBV1), representing a novel lineage of the family Phenuiviridae. FaMBV1 harbors a trisegmented genome that putatively encodes RdRp, glycoproteins, and nucleocapsids. The putative glycoprotein was first described in fungal SNSRVs and shared homology with glycoprotein of animal phenuivirus but was dispensable for its replication in F. asiaticum. Two other trisegmented fungal SNSRVs that also encode glycoproteins were discovered, implying that three-segment bunyavirus infections may be common in fungi. These findings provide new insights into the ecology and evolution of SNSRVs, particularly those infecting fungi.

Abstract
Knowledge of mycovirus diversity, evolution, horizontal gene transfer and shared ancestry with viruses infecting distantly related hosts, such as plants and arthropods, has increased vastly during the last few years due to advances in the high throughput sequencing methodologies. This also has enabled the discovery of novel mycoviruses with previously unknown genome types, mainly new positive and negative single-stranded RNA mycoviruses ((+) ssRNA and (-) ssRNA) and single-stranded DNA mycoviruses (ssDNA), and has increased our knowledge of double-stranded RNA mycoviruses (dsRNA), which in the past were thought to be the most common viruses infecting fungi. Fungi and oomycetes (Stramenopila) share similar lifestyles and also have similar viromes. Hypothesis about the origin and cross-kingdom transmission events of viruses have been raised and are supported by phylogenetic analysis and by the discovery of natural exchange of viruses between different hosts during virus-fungus coinfection in planta. In this review we make a compilation of the current information on the genome organization, diversity and taxonomy of mycoviruses, discussing their possible origins. Our focus is in recent findings suggesting the expansion of the host range of many viral taxa previously considered to be exclusively fungal, but we also address factors affecting virus transmissibility and coexistence in single fungal or oomycete isolates, as well as the development of synthetic mycoviruses and their use in investigating mycovirus replication cycles and pathogenicity.

Abstract
Mitoviruses (family Mitoviridae) are small capsid-less RNA viruses that replicate in the mitochondria of fungi and plants. However, to date, the only authentic animal mitovirus infecting an insect was identified as Lutzomyia longipalpis mitovirus 1 (LulMV1). Public databases of transcriptomic studies from several animals may be a good source for identifying the often missed mitoviruses. Consequently, a search of mitovirus-like transcripts at the NCBI transcriptome shotgun assembly (TSA) library, and a search for the mitoviruses previously recorded at the NCBI non-redundant (nr) protein sequences library, were performed in order to identify new mitovirus-like sequences associated with animals. In total, 10 new putative mitoviruses were identified in the TSA database and 8 putative mitoviruses in the nr protein database. To our knowledge, these results represent the first evidence of putative mitoviruses associated with poriferan, cnidarians, echinoderms, crustaceans, myriapods and arachnids. According to different phylogenetic inferences using the maximum likelihood method, these 18 putative mitoviruses form a robust monophyletic lineage with LulMV1, the only known animal-infecting mitovirus. These findings based on in silico procedures provide strong evidence for the existence of a clade of putative mitoviruses associated with animals, which has been provisionally named 'kvinmitovirus'.

Abstract
In March 2022, following the annual International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) ratification vote on newly proposed taxa, the phylum Negarnaviricota was amended and emended. The phylum was expanded by two new families (bunyaviral Discoviridae and Tulasviridae), 41 new genera, and 98 new species. Three hundred forty-nine species were renamed and/or moved. The accidentally misspelled names of seven species were corrected. This article presents the updated taxonomy of Negarnaviricota as now accepted by the ICTV.

[PMID: 36560602 PMCID: PMC9788385 DOI: 10.3390/v14122596] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2022] [Revised: 11/02/2022] [Accepted: 11/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Phytophthora cactorum is an important oomycetous plant pathogen with numerous host plant species, including garden strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) and silver birch (Betula pendula). P. cactorum also hosts mycoviruses, but their phenotypic effects on the host oomycete have not been studied earlier. In the present study, we tested polyethylene glycol (PEG)-induced water stress for virus curing and created an isogenic virus-free isolate for testing viral effects in pair with the original isolate. Phytophthora cactorum bunya-like viruses 1 and 2 (PcBV1 & 2) significantly reduced hyphal growth of the P. cactorum host isolate, as well as sporangia production and size. Transcriptomic and proteomic analyses revealed an increase in the production of elicitins due to bunyavirus infection. However, the presence of bunyaviruses did not seem to alter the pathogenicity of P. cactorum. Virus transmission through anastomosis was unsuccessful in vitro.

Discovery, Genomic Sequence Characterization and Phylogenetic Analysis of Novel RNA Viruses in the Turfgrass Pathogenic Colletotrichum spp. in Japan. Viruses 2022; 14:v14112572. [PMID: 36423181 PMCID: PMC9698584 DOI: 10.3390/v14112572] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2022] [Revised: 11/14/2022] [Accepted: 11/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Turfgrass used in various areas of the golf course has been found to present anthracnose disease, which is caused by Colletotrichum spp. To obtain potential biological agents, we identified four novel RNA viruses and obtained full-length viral genomes from turfgrass pathogenic Colletotrichum spp. in Japan. We characterized two novel dsRNA partitiviruses: Colletotrichum associated partitivirus 1 (CaPV1) and Colletotrichum associated partitivirus 2 (CaPV2), as well as two negative single-stranded (ss) RNA viruses: Colletotrichum associated negative-stranded RNA virus 1 (CaNSRV1) and Colletotrichum associated negative-stranded RNA virus 2 (CaNSRV2). Using specific RT-PCR assays, we confirmed the presence of CaPV1, CaPV2 and CaNSRV1 in dsRNAs from original and sub-isolates of Colletotrichum sp. MBCT-264, as well as CaNSRV2 in dsRNAs from original and sub-isolates of Colletotrichum sp. MBCT-288. This is the first time mycoviruses have been discovered in turfgrass pathogenic Colletotrichum spp. in Japan. CaPV1 and CaPV2 are new members of the newly proposed genus "Zetapartitivirus" and genus Alphapartitivirus, respectively, in the family Partitiviridae, according to genomic characterization and phylogenetic analysis. Negative sense ssRNA viruses CaNSRV1 and CaNSRV2, on the other hand, are new members of the family Phenuiviridae and the proposed family "Mycoaspirividae", respectively. These findings reveal previously unknown RNA virus diversity and evolution in turfgrass pathogenic Colletotrichum spp.

Typical members of the family Mymonaviridae produce filamentous, enveloped virions containing a single molecule of linear, negative-sense RNA of about about 10 kb, but some may not produce any virions. The family includes several genera, some with multiple species. Mymonavirids usually infect filamentous fungi, but a few have been identified associated with insects, oomycetes or plants. At least one virus, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum negative-stranded RNA virus 1, induces hypovirulence in its fungal host. This is a summary of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) Report on the family Mymonaviridae, which is available at ictv.global/report/mymonaviridae.

Abstract
Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a well-known phytopathogenic fungus with a wide host range. Identifying novel mycoviruses in phytopathogenic fungi is necessary to develop novel strategies for plant health protection and contribute to understanding the origin of viruses. Six new mycoviruses with positive single-stranded RNA genomes co-infecting the hypovirulent strain SCH733 of S. sclerotiorum were identified using a metatranscriptomic approach, and their complete genome sequences were molecularly determined. These mycoviruses belong to the following five families: Narnaviridae, Mitoviridae, Deltaflexviridae, Botourmiaviridae, and Ambiguiviridae. Three of these mycoviruses belong to existing International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV)-recognized species. Two of these newly identified mycoviruses have unique genomic features that are significantly different from those of all known mycoviruses. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that these six mycoviruses included close as well as distant relatives of known mycoviruses, thereby providing new insight into virus evolution and classification. Mycovirus horizontal transmission and elimination experiments revealed that Sclerotinia sclerotiorum narnavirus 5 is associated with hypovirulence of S. sclerotiorum, although we have not shown that it is independently responsible for the hypovirulence phenotype. This study broadens the diversity of known mycoviruses infecting S. sclerotiorum and provides a clue toward limiting hypovirulence in S. sclerotiorum.

Abstract
Talaromyces amestolkiae is an important fungal species owing to its ubiquity in soils, plants, air, and food. In this study, we identified a novel six-segmented polymycovirus, Talaromyces amestolkiae polymycovirus 1 (TaPmV-1). Each of the double-stranded (ds) RNA segments of TaPmV-1 contained a single open reading frame, and the proteins encoded by dsRNA1, dsRNA2, dsRNA3, and dsRNA 5 shared significant amino acid identities of 56, 40, 47, and 43%, respectively, with the corresponding proteins of Aspergillus fumigatus polymycovirus-1(AfuPmV-1). DsRNA1, dsRNA3, and dsRNA5 of TaPmV-1 encoded an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), a viral methyltransferase, and a PAS-rich protein, respectively. The functions of the proteins encoded by dsRNA2, dsRNA4, and dsRNA6 have not been elucidated. Comparison of the virus-infected strain LSH3 with virus-cured strain LSHVF revealed that infection with TaPmV-l may reduce the production of red pigments and induce the clustering of fungal sclerotia. Furthermore, transcriptomic analyses demonstrated that infection with TaPmV-l downregulated the expression of transcripts related to metabolism, and may correlate with the reduced production of red pigments and clustering of sclerotia in T. amestolkiae. These results of this study provide novel insights into the mechanism of fungal gene regulation by polymycovirus infections at the transcriptome level, and this study is the first to report a novel polymycovirus of T. amestolkiae.

Molecular Characterization of Novel Mycoviruses in Seven Umbelopsis Strains. Viruses 2022; 14:v14112343.

Abstract
The presence of viruses is less explored in Mucoromycota as compared to other fungal groups such as Ascomycota and Basidiomycota. Recently, more and more mycoviruses are identified from the early-diverging lineages of fungi. We have determined the genome of 11 novel dsRNA viruses in seven different Umbelopsis strains with next-generation sequencing (NGS). The identified viruses were named Umbelopsis ramanniana virus 5 (UrV5), 6a (UrV6a); 6b (UrV6b); 7 (UrV7); 8a (UrV8a); 8b (UrV8b); Umbelopsis gibberispora virus 1 (UgV1); 2 (UgV2) and Umbelopsis dimorpha virus 1a (UdV1a), 1b (UdV1b) and 2 (UdV2). All the newly identified viruses contain two open reading frames (ORFs), which putatively encode the coat protein (CP) and the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), respectively. Based on the phylogeny inferred from the RdRp sequences, eight viruses (UrV7, UrV8a, UrV8b, UgV1, UgV2, UdV1a, UdV1b and UdV2) belong to the genus Totivirus, while UrV5, UrV6a and UrV6b are placed into a yet unclassified but well-defined Totiviridae-related group. In UrV5, UgV1, UgV2, UrV8b, UdV1a, UdV2 and UdV1b, ORF2 is predicted to be translated as a fusion protein via a rare +1 (or -2) ribosomal frameshift, which is not characteristic to most members of the Totivirus genus. Virus particles 31 to 32 nm in diameter could be detected in the examined fungal strains by transmission electron microscopy. Through the identification and characterization of new viruses of Mucoromycota fungi, we can gain insight into the diversity of mycoviruses, as well as into their phylogeny and genome organization.

Abstract
We explored the virome of the "Phytophthora palustris complex", a group of aquatic specialists geographically limited to Southeast and East Asia, the native origin of many destructive invasive forest Phytophthora spp. Based on high-throughput sequencing (RNAseq) of 112 isolates of "P. palustris" collected from rivers, mangroves, and ponds, and natural forests in subtropical and tropical areas in Indonesia, Taiwan, and Japan, 52 putative viruses were identified, which, to varying degrees, were phylogenetically related to the families Botybirnaviridae, Narnaviridae, Tombusviridae, and Totiviridae, and the order Bunyavirales. The prevalence of all viruses in their hosts was investigated and confirmed by RT-PCR. The rich virus composition, high abundance, and distribution discovered in our study indicate that viruses are naturally infecting taxa from the "P. palustris complex" in their natural niche, and that they are predominant members of the host cellular environment. Certain Indonesian localities are the viruses' hotspots and particular "P. palustris" isolates show complex multiviral infections. This study defines the first bi-segmented bunya-like virus together with the first tombus-like and botybirna-like viruses in the genus Phytophthora and provides insights into the spread and evolution of RNA viruses in the natural populations of an oomycete species.

Abstract
Jingmenviruses are a group of viruses identified recently, in 2014, and currently classified by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses as unclassified Flaviviridae. These viruses closely related to flaviviruses are unique due to the segmented nature of their genome. The prototype jingmenvirus, Jingmen tick virus (JMTV), was discovered in Rhipicephalus microplus ticks collected from China in 2010. Jingmenviruses genomes are composed of four to five segments, encoding for up to seven structural proteins and two non-structural proteins, both of which display strong similarities with flaviviral non-structural proteins (NS2B/NS3 and NS5). Jingmenviruses are currently separated into two phylogenetic clades. One clade includes tick- and vertebrate-associated jingmenviruses, which have been detected in ticks and mosquitoes, as well as in humans, cattle, monkeys, bats, rodents, sheep, and tortoises. In addition to these molecular and serological detections, over a hundred human patients tested positive for jingmenviruses after developing febrile illness and flu-like symptoms in China and Serbia. The second phylogenetic clade includes insect-associated jingmenvirus sequences, which have been detected in a wide range of insect species, as well as in crustaceans, plants, and fungi. In addition to being found in various types of hosts, jingmenviruses are endemic, as they have been detected in a wide range of environments, all over the world. Taken together, all of these elements show that jingmenviruses correspond exactly to the definition of emerging viruses at risk of causing a pandemic, since they are already endemic, have a close association with arthropods, are found in animals in close contact with humans, and have caused sporadic cases of febrile illness in multiple patients. Despite these arguments, the vast majority of published data is from metagenomics studies and many aspects of jingmenvirus replication remain to be elucidated, such as their tropism, cycle of transmission, structure, and mechanisms of replication and restriction or epidemiology. It is therefore crucial to prioritize jingmenvirus research in the years to come, to be prepared for their emergence as human or veterinary pathogens.

Abstract
Alternaria dianthicola is a pathogenic fungus that causes serious leaf or flower blight on some medicinal plants worldwide. In this study, multiple dsRNA bands in the range of 1.2-10 kbp were found in a Alternaria dianthus strain HNSZ-1, and eleven full-length cDNA sequences of these dsRNA were obtained by high-throughput sequencing, RT-PCR detection and conventional Sanger sequencing. Homology search and phylogenetic analyses indicated that the strain HNSZ-1 was infected by at least nine mycoviruses. Among the nine, five viruses were confirmed to represent novel viruses in the families Hypoviridae, Totiviridae, Mymonaviridae and a provisional family Ambiguiviridae. Virus elimination and horizontal transmission indicated that the (-) ssRNA virus, AdNSRV1, might be associated with the slow growth and irregular colony phenotype of the host fungus. As far as we know, this is the first report for virome characterization of A. dianthus, which might provide important insights for screening of mycovirus for biological control and for studying of the interactions between viruses or viruses and their host.

Three-Layered Complex Interactions among Capsidless (+)ssRNA Yadokariviruses, dsRNA Viruses, and a Fungus. mBio 2022; 13:e0168522.

Abstract
We have previously discovered a virus neo-lifestyle exhibited by a capsidless positive-sense (+), single-stranded (ss) RNA virus YkV1 (family Yadokariviridae) and an unrelated double-stranded (ds) RNA virus YnV1 (proposed family "Yadonushiviridae") in a phytopathogenic ascomycete, Rosellinia necatrix. YkV1 has been proposed to replicate in the capsid provided by YnV1 as if it were a dsRNA virus and enhance YnV1 replication in return. Recently, viruses related to YkV1 (yadokariviruses) have been isolated from diverse ascomycetous fungi. However, it remains obscure whether such viruses generally show the YkV1-like lifestyle. Here, we identified partner viruses for three distinct yadokariviruses, YkV3, YkV4a, and YkV4b, isolated from R. necatrix that were coinfected with multiple dsRNA viruses phylogenetically distantly related to YnV1. We first established transformants of R. necatrix carrying single yadokarivirus cDNAs and fused them with infectants by single partner candidate dsRNA viruses. Consequently, YkV3 and YkV4s replicated only in the presence of RnMBV3 (family Megabirnaviridae) and RnMTV1 (proposed family "Megatotiviridae"), respectively. The partners were mutually interchangeable between the two YkV4 strains and three RnMTV1 strains but not between other combinations involving YkV1 or YkV3. In contrast to YkV1 enhancing YnV1 accumulation, YkV4s reduced RnMTV1 accumulation to different degrees according to strains. Interestingly, YkV4 rescued the host R. necatrix from impaired growth induced by RnMTV1. YkV3 exerted no apparent effect on its partner (RnMBV3) or host fungus. Overall, we revealed that while yadokariviruses generally require partner dsRNA viruses for replication, each yadokarivirus partners with a different dsRNA virus species in the three diverse families and shows a distinct symbiotic relation in a fungus. IMPORTANCE A capsidless (+)ssRNA virus YkV1 (family Yadokariviridae) highjacks the capsid of an unrelated dsRNA virus YnV1 (proposed family "Yadonushiviridae") in a phytopathogenic ascomycete, while YkV1 trans-enhances YnV1 replication. Herein, we identified the dsRNA virus partners of three yadokariviruses (YkV3, YkV4a, and YkV4b) with genome organization different from YkV1 as being different from YnV1 at the suborder level. Their partners were mutually interchangeable between the two YkV4 strains and three strains of the partner virus RnMTV1 (proposed family "Megatotiviridae") but not between other combinations involving YkV1 or YkV3. Unlike YkV1, YkV4s reduced RnMTV1 accumulation and rescued the host fungus from impaired growth induced by RnMTV1. YkV3 exerted no apparent effect on its partner (RnMBV3, family Megabirnaviridae) or host fungus. These revealed that while each yadokarivirus has a species-specific partnership with a dsRNA virus, yadokariviruses collectively partner extremely diverse dsRNA viruses and show three-layered complex mutualistic/antagonistic interactions in a fungus.

Abstract
The most economically important biotic stresses in crop production are caused by fungi, oomycetes, insects, viruses, and bacteria. Often chemical control is still the most commonly used method to manage them. However, the development of resistance in the different pathogens/pests, the putative damage on the natural ecosystem, the toxic residues in the field, and, thus, the contamination of the environment have stimulated the search for saferalternatives such as the use of biological control agents (BCAs). Among BCAs, viruses, a major driver for controlling host populations and evolution, are somewhat underused, mostly because of regulatory hurdles that make the cost of registration of such host-specific BCAs not affordable in comparison with the limited potential market. Here, we provide a comprehensive overview of the state of the art of virus-based BCAs against fungi, bacteria, viruses, and insects, with a specific focus on new approaches that rely on not only the direct biocidal virus component but also the complex ecological interactions between viruses and their hosts that do not necessarily result in direct damage to the host.

Abstract
High-throughput virome analyses with various fungi, from cultured or uncultured sources, have led to the discovery of diverse viruses with unique genome structures and even neo-lifestyles. Examples in the former category include splipalmiviruses and ambiviruses. Splipalmiviruses, related to yeast narnaviruses, have multiple positive-sense (+) single-stranded (ss) RNA genomic segments that separately encode the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase motifs, the hallmark of RNA viruses (members of the kingdom Orthornavirae). Ambiviruses appear to have an undivided ssRNA genome of 3∼5 kb with two large open reading frames (ORFs) separated by intergenic regions. Another narna-like virus group has two fully overlapping ORFs on both strands of a genomic segment that span more than 90% of the genome size. New virus lifestyles exhibited by mycoviruses include the yado-kari/yado-nushi nature characterized by the partnership between the (+)ssRNA yadokarivirus and an unrelated dsRNA virus (donor of the capsid for the former) and the hadaka nature of capsidless 10-11 segmented (+)ssRNA accessible by RNase in infected mycelial homogenates. Furthermore, dsRNA polymycoviruses with phylogenetic affinity to (+)ssRNA animal caliciviruses have been shown to be infectious as dsRNA-protein complexes or deproteinized naked dsRNA. Many previous phylogenetic gaps have been filled by recently discovered fungal and other viruses, which haveprovided interesting evolutionary insights. Phylogenetic analyses and the discovery of natural and experimental cross-kingdom infections suggest that horizontal virus transfer may have occurred and continue to occur between fungi and other kingdoms.

Abstract
RNA-based strategies for plant disease management offer an attractive alternative to agrochemicals that negatively impact human and ecosystem health and lead to pathogen resistance. There has been recent interest in using mycoviruses for fungal disease control after it was discovered that some cause hypovirulence in fungal pathogens, which refers to a decline in the ability of a pathogen to cause disease. Cryphonectria parasitica, the causal agent of chestnut blight, has set an ideal model of management through the release of hypovirulent strains. However, mycovirus-based management of plant diseases is still restricted by limited approaches to search for viruses causing hypovirulence and the lack of protocols allowing effective and systemic virus infection in pathogens. RNA interference (RNAi), the eukaryotic cell system that recognizes RNA sequences and specifically degrades them, represents a promising. RNA-based disease management method. The natural occurrence of cross-kingdom RNAi provides a basis for host-induced gene silencing, while the ability of most pathogens to uptake exogenous small RNAs enables the use of spray-induced gene silencing techniques. This review describes the mechanisms behind and the potential of two RNA-based strategies, mycoviruses and RNAi, for plant disease management. Successful applications are discussed, as well as the research gaps and limitations that remain to be addressed.

Abstract
Research on aquatic plant viruses is lagging behind that of their terrestrial counterparts. To address this knowledge gap, here we identified viruses associated with freshwater macrophytes, a taxonomically diverse group of aquatic phototrophs that are visible with the naked eye. We surveyed pooled macrophyte samples collected at four spring sites in Florida, USA through next generation sequencing of RNA extracted from purified viral particles. Sequencing efforts resulted in the detection of 156 freshwater macrophyte associated (FMA) viral contigs, 37 of which approximate complete genomes or segments. FMA viral contigs represent putative members from all five major phyla of the RNA viral kingdom Orthornavirae. Similar to viral types found in land plants, viral sequences identified in macrophytes were dominated by positive-sense RNA viruses. Over half of the FMA viral contigs were most similar to viruses reported from diverse hosts in aquatic environments, including phototrophs, invertebrates, and fungi. The detection of FMA viruses from orders dominated by plant viruses, namely Patatavirales and Tymovirales, indicate that members of these orders may thrive in aquatic hosts. PCR assays confirmed the presence of putative FMA plant viruses in asymptomatic vascular plants, indicating that viruses with persistent lifestyles are widespread in macrophytes. The detection of potato virus Y and oat blue dwarf virus in submerged macrophytes suggests that terrestrial plant viruses infect underwater plants and highlights a potential terrestrial-freshwater plant virus continuum. Defining the virome of unexplored macrophytes will improve our understanding of virus evolution in terrestrial and aquatic primary producers and reveal the potential ecological impacts of viral infection in macrophytes.
