Abstract
Wheat crown rot (WCR), caused by Fusarium pseudograminearum, poses a threat to wheat production worldwide. Two mycoviruses, designated as "Fusarium pseudograminearum mitovirus 2" (FupgMV2) and "Fusarium pseudograminearum mitovirus 3" (FupgMV3), were identified in F. pseudograminearum strain YY514-10-2. The two viral genomes are 2,429 and 2,450 nucleotides long, each containing a single open reading frame (ORF) encoding a 724-amino-acid-long RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), with 31.98% amino acid sequence identity to each other. BLASTp analysis revealed that the RdRp of FupgMV2 exhibits at least 88.84% amino acid sequence identity to that of Fusarium mitovirus 1, while the RdRp of FupgMV3 shows 80.19% amino acid sequence identity to that of Fusarium mitovirus 2. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that FupgMV2 and FupgMV3 both belong to the genus Unuamitovirus of the family Mitoviridae. This is the first report of two mitoviruses hosted by the same strain of the plant-pathogenic fungus F. pseudograminearum.

Molecular and Biological Characterization of an Isolate of Fusarium graminearum dsRNA mycovirus 4 (FgV4) from a New Host Fusarium pseudograminearum. Microorganisms 2025; 13:418. [PMID: 40005784 PMCID: PMC11858025 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms13020418] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2025] [Revised: 01/29/2025] [Accepted: 02/12/2025] [Indexed: 02/27/2025] Open
Abstract
Wheat Fusarium crown rot (FCR), mainly caused by Fusarium pseudograminearum, is one of the most important diseases. Some mycoviruses are reported to have a hypovirulence trait and considered as a biocontrol agent for plant fungal diseases. In most cases, mycovirus biological effects have not been explored clearly. In this study, we identified and characterized a novel isolate of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) mycovirus, Fusarium graminearum dsRNA mycovirus 4 (FgV4), from a new host, an isolate WC9-2 of F. pseudograminearum. The genome of FgV4-WC9-2 includes two dsRNA segments of 2194 bp and 1738 bp. FgV4-WC9-2 dsRNA1 contains a single open reading frame (ORF1), which encodes a protein of 675 amino acids (aa) and has a conserved RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) domain. FgV4-WC9-2 dsRNA2 contains two discontinuous ORFs (ORF2-1 and ORF2-2) that code for hypothetical proteins with unknown function. Biological characteristics research has shown that FgV4-WC9-2 infection did not change the colony morphology, but it could significantly decrease colony growth rate. FgV4-WC9-2 could also reduce the sporulation ability, change the conidia size and reduce the pathogenicity of the host to a certain extent. This study is the first to describe a hypovirulence-associated orthocurvulavirus infecting F. pseudograminearum, which has the potential to assist with FCR disease biological management.

Abstract
The genus Alternaria comprises many important fungal pathogens that infect a wide variety of organisms. In this report, we present the discovery of a new double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) mycovirus called Alternaria botybirnavirus 2 (ABRV2) from a phytopathogenic strain, XC21-21C, of Alternaria sp. isolated from diseased tobacco leaves in China. The ABRV2 genome consists of two dsRNA components, namely dsRNA1 and dsRNA2, with lengths of 6,162 and 5,865 base pairs (bp), respectively. Each of these genomic dsRNAs is monocistronic, encoding hypothetical proteins of 201.6 kDa (P1) and 2193.3 kDa (P2). ABRV2 P1 and P2 share 50.54% and 63.13% amino acid sequence identity with the corresponding proteins encoded by dsRNA1 of Alternaria botybirnavirus 1 (ABRV1). Analysis of its genome organization and phylogenetic analysis revealed that ABRV2 is a new member of the genus Botybirnavirus.

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
Deoxynivalenol (DON) is a mycotoxin widely detected in cereal products contaminated by Fusarium. Fusarium pseudograminearum megabirnavirus 1 (FpgMBV1) is a double-stranded RNA virus infecting Fusarium pseudograminearum. In this study, it was revealed that the amount of DON in F. pseudograminearum was significantly suppressed by FpgMBV1 through a high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) assay. A total of 2564 differentially expressed genes were identified by comparative transcriptomic analysis between the FpgMBV1-containing F. pseudograminearum strain FC136-2A and the virus-free strain FC136-2A-V-. Among them, 1585 genes were up-regulated and 979 genes were down-regulated. Particularly, the expression of 12 genes (FpTRI1, FpTRI3, FpTRI4, FpTRI5, FpTRI6, FpTRI8, FpTRI10, FpTRI11, FpTRI12, FpTRI14, FpTRI15, and FpTRI101) in the trichothecene biosynthetic (TRI) gene cluster was significantly down-regulated. Specific metabolic and transport processes and pathways including amino acid and lipid metabolism, ergosterol metabolic and biosynthetic processes, carbohydrate metabolism, and biosynthesis were regulated. These results suggest an unrevealing mechanism underlying the repression of DON and TRI gene expression by the mycovirus FpgMBV1, which would provide new methods in the detoxification of DON and reducing the yield loss in wheat.

Abstract
Phytophthora castaneae, an oomycete pathogen causing root and trunk rot of different tree species in Asia, was shown to harbor a rich diversity of novel viruses from different families. Four P. castaneae isolates collected from Chamaecyparis hodginsii in a semi-natural montane forest site in Vietnam were investigated for viral presence by traditional and next-generation sequencing (NGS) techniques, i.e., double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) extraction and high-throughput sequencing (HTS) of small RNAs (sRNAs) and total RNA. Genome organization, sequence similarity, and phylogenetic analyses indicated that the viruses were related to members of the order Bunyavirales and families Endornaviridae, Megabirnaviridae, Narnaviridae, Totiviridae, and the proposed family "Fusagraviridae." The study describes six novel viruses: Phytophthora castaneae RNA virus 1-5 (PcaRV1-5) and Phytophthora castaneae negative-stranded RNA virus 1 (PcaNSRV1). All six viruses were detected by sRNA sequencing, which demonstrates an active RNA interference (RNAi) system targeting viruses in P. castaneae. To our knowledge, this is the first report of viruses in P. castaneae and the whole Phytophthora major Clade 5, as well as of the activity of an RNAi mechanism targeting viral genomes among Clade 5 species. PcaRV1 is the first megabirnavirus described in oomycetes and the genus Phytophthora.

Abstract
Fusarium pseudograminearum is a phytopathogen that causes wheat crown rot disease worldwide. Fusarium pseudograminearum megabirnavirus 1 (FpgMBV1) was isolated from the hypovirulent strain FC136-2A of F. pseudograminearum as a novel double-stranded RNA mycovirus belonging to the family Megabirnaviridae. Here we examined the effects of FpgMBV1 on colony morphology and pathogenicity of F. pseudograminearum. Through hyphal tip culture, we obtained virus-free progeny of strain FC136-2A, referred to as FC136-2A-V-. FpgMBV1 was transferred horizontally to another virus-free strain, WZ-8A-HygR-V-. The progeny obtained through horizontal transfer was referred to as WZ-8A-HygR-V+. Colony morphology was similar between the FpgMBV1-positive and -negative strains. The ability to penetrate cellophane in vitro was lost, and pathogenicity on wheat plants was reduced significantly in the FpgMBV1-positive strains relative to the FpgMBV1-negative strains. Microscopic observations showed a 6-h delay in the formation of appressoria-like structures in FC136-2A relative to FC136-2A-V-. Mycelium extension was significantly longer in wheat coleoptiles infected by WZ-8A-HygR-V- than in that infected by WZ-8A-HygR-V+ at 12 and 20 h after inoculation (hai). In addition, expression of five genes that encode cell wall-degrading enzymes differed significantly between FpgMBV1-positive and -negative strains at 12 and 20 hai during early infection of wheat cells by conidia. This study provides evidence for the hypovirulence effect of FpgMBV1 on F. pseudograminearum and suggests that the underlying mechanism involves unsuccessful early infection and perhaps cell wall degradation.

Abstract
Mycoviruses are widespread in all major groups of plant-pathogenic fungi. So far, only one mycovirus has been reported to be associated with Fusarium pseudograminearum, the causal agent of Fusarium crown rot of wheat. In this study, a double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) segment was isolated from F. pseudograminearum strain JW2-1, and the sequence of its full-length cDNA (3077 nucleotides) was determined. Sequence analysis using the fungal mitochondrial genetic code (UGA coding for tryptophan) indicated that a single large open reading frame (ORF) is present on the positive strand of this dsRNA segment. The ORF encodes a putative RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) of 748 amino acids (aa) with a molecular mass of 83.46 kDa. BLASTp analysis revealed that its aa sequence was 28.49-44.03% identical to those of viruses of the family Mitoviridae, with the most similarity to the corresponding RdRp sequences of Ophiostoma mitovirus 1c (44.03% identity) and Ophiostoma mitovirus 1b (40.33% identity). Phylogenetic analysis showed that this mycovirus, designated as "Fusarium pseudograminearum mitovirus 1" (FpgMV1), should be classified as a member of a new species in the earlier proposed genus "Duamitovirus" within the family Mitoviridae. To our best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a mitovirus infecting F. pseudograminearum.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fusarium crown rot is major disease in wheat. However, the wheat defense mechanisms against this disease remain poorly understood. RESULTS Using tandem mass tag (TMT) quantitative proteomics, we evaluated a disease-susceptible (UC1110) and a disease-tolerant (PI610750) wheat cultivar inoculated with Fusarium pseudograminearum WZ-8A. The morphological and physiological results showed that the average root diameter and malondialdehyde content in the roots of PI610750 decreased 3 days post-inoculation (dpi), while the average number of root tips increased. Root vigor was significantly increased in both cultivars, indicating that the morphological, physiological, and biochemical responses of the roots to disease differed between the two cultivars. TMT analysis showed that 366 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were identified by Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment in the two comparison groups, UC1110_3dpi/UC1110_0dpi (163) and PI610750_3dpi/PI610750_0dpi (203). It may be concluded that phenylpropanoid biosynthesis (8), secondary metabolite biosynthesis (12), linolenic acid metabolites (5), glutathione metabolism (8), plant hormone signal transduction (3), MAPK signaling pathway-plant (4), and photosynthesis (12) contributed to the defense mechanisms in wheat. Protein-protein interaction network analysis showed that the DEPs interacted in both sugar metabolism and photosynthesis pathways. Sixteen genes were validated by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction and were found to be consistent with the proteomics data. CONCLUSION The results provided insight into the molecular mechanisms of the interaction between wheat and F. pseudograminearum.

Abstract
Megabirnaviridae is a family of non-enveloped spherical viruses with dsRNA genomes of two linear segments, each of 7.2-8.9 kbp, comprising 16.1 kbp in total. The genus Megabirnavirus includes the species Rosellinia necatrix megabirnavirus 1, the exemplar isolate of which infects the white root rot fungus (Rosellinia necatrix) to which it confers hypovirulence. Megabirnaviruses are characterized by their bisegmented genome with large 5'-untranslated regions (1.6 kb) upstream of both 5'-proximal coding strand ORFs, and large protrusions on the particle surface. This is a summary of the ICTV Report on the family Megabirnaviridae, which is available at ictv.global/report/megabirnaviridae.This Profile is dedicated to the memory of our valued colleague Professor Said A. Ghabrial.

Abstract
Fusarium is an important genus of plant pathogenic fungi, and is widely distributed in soil and associated with plants worldwide. The diversity of mycoviruses in Fusarium is increasing continuously due to the development and extensive use of state-of-the-art RNA deep sequencing techniques. To date, fully-sequenced mycoviruses have been reported in 13 Fusarium species: Fusarium asiaticum, F. boothii, F. circinatum, F. coeruleum, F. globosum, F. graminearum, F. incarnatum, F. langsethiae, F. oxysporum, F. poae, F. pseudograminearum, F. solani, and F. virguliforme. Most Fusarium mycoviruses establish latent infections, but some mycoviruses such as Fusarium graminearum virus 1 (FgV1), Fusarium graminearum virus-ch9 (FgV-ch9), Fusarium graminearum hypovirus 2 (FgHV2), and Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. dianthi mycovirus 1 (FodV1) cause hypovirulence. Rapid advances in various omics technologies used to elucidate genes or biological processes can facilitate an improved understanding of mycovirus-host interactions. The review aims to illuminate the recent advances in studies of mycoviruses in Fusarium, including those related to diversity, molecular mechanisms of virus-host interaction. We also discuss the induction and suppression of RNA silencing including the role of RNAi components as an antiviral defense response.
