- Abstract
In this study, we identified a novel mycovirus, Fusarium graminearum ormycovirus 1 (FgOV1), from the pathogenic fungus Fusarium graminearum. The virus has two RNA segments, RNA1 and RNA2, with lengths of 2,591 and 1,801 nucleotides, respectively, excluding the polyA tail. Each segment contains a single open reading frame (ORF). The ORF in RNA1 encodes an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, while the ORF in RNA2 encodes a hypothetical protein. Phylogenetic analysis showed that FgOV1 belongs to the gammaormycovirus clade, whose members are related to betaormycoviruses. To our knowledge, this is the first report of an ormycovirus in Fusarium graminearum., (© 2024. The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag GmbH Austria, part of Springer Nature.)
